The modified electrode showed good electrocatalytic activity for the anodic oxidation of isoprenaline, which was due to a substantial decrease in the anodic overpotential. Under the optimum conditions, measurements using square wave voltammetry had a linear range in the range of 0.3 to 125.0 μmol/L of isoprenaline and a detection limit of 0.1 μmol/L. The diffusion coefficient and kinetic parameters were determined using electrochemical methods. The relative standard deviation for seven successive assays of 1.0 and 20.0 μmol/L isoprenaline were 1.9% and 2.4%, respectively.This electrochemical sensor was successfully applied for the determination of isoprenaline in human urine and injection solution samples.展开更多

The electrochemical properties of the CuO/MWCNT‐modified glassy carbon electrode were investigated. Two distinguishable anodic peaks were observed around 0.30 and 0.44 V corresponding to the oxidation of glucose and fructose, respectively, at the surface of the modified electrode. The detection limits for glucose and fructose were both 0.04 mmol/L. The sensor was used to simultaneously determine the concentrations of glucose and fructose in hydrolyzed sucrose samples, and to measure glucose in blood serum samples, demonstrating its potential as a nonenzymatic carbohydrate sensor.展开更多
