A Large-Surface Carbon Film Electrode Used for Voltammetric Determination of Imipramine Hydrochloride

Abstract

A large-surface carbon film electrode (ls-CFE) was used for voltammetric investigation of an antidepressant drug imipramine hydrochloride using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Under the optimal conditions found, imipramine hydrochloride was determined in buffered aqueous solutions in the concentration range from 0.1 to 100 μmol LMINUS SIGN 1 by DPV.

Furthermore, the applicability of the newly developed DPV method was verified on modelsamples of drinkingwater.
