    Notes: Peptide nucleic acids (PNA) are new DNA analogs which offer great promise for highly specific DNA biosensors, for use as antisense drugs, or for various molecuilar biology applications. This article evaluates the interfacial behavior of PNA at carbon paste electrodes, in comparison to DNA. While both PNA oligomers display a strong adsorption onto the carbon surface, they differ intheir interfacial properties due to differences in change and structure. Factors influencing the adsorption behavior, including the adsorption potential or time, PNA concentration, coexisting anions and cations, or buffer concentration, are explored. The strong adsorption is exploited for an effective preconcentration step prior to the chronopotentiometric measurement. The resulting adsorptive stripping potentiometric protocol offers convenient quantitation of ng/mL levels of PNA, as desired for future diagnostic, pharmaceutical and biological applications of these DNA analogs.

    Notes: A novel approach for chemical modification of carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) has been investigated. Selected water-insoluble inorganic salts as modifiers were found to exhibit preconcentration capability for oxalic acid under open-circuit conditions in a pH 4.3 buffered solution. After medium exchange to a pure electrolyte (Britton-Robinson buffer, pH 8), the accumulated oxalate was measured by square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry with a peak current response at 1.2 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The water-insoluble inorganic salts as modifiers were active through the interfacial accumulation of insoluble oxalate by the exchange of anions. The candidate inorganic salts should be, therefore, less insoluble than the corresponding oxalates, whereas, the differences in solubility between the modifiers and the corresponding oxalates are of minor importance. Among the investigated inorganic salts, lead sulfate produced the highest response under the employed conditions and was therefore exploited as accumulating material for oxalic acid. With suitable preconcentration times, a linear calibration graph from 0.7 mg/L to 42.8 mg/L of oxalic acid in the analyte solution was obtained, and a detection limit of 0.3 mg/L at a preconcentration time of 5min was achieved. The lead sulfate-modified CPE was used to determine oxalic acid in orange juice without pre-separation.

    Notes: Nickel-, cobalt-, copper-, and palladium-dispersed carbon inks are used for screen printing of electrocatalytic sensors. The resulting strips couple the advantages of mass-producible disposable electrodes and effective catalytic surfaces. The dispersed metal particles lead to a marked decrease in the oxidation potential for carbohydrates, amino acids, aldehydes or alcohols. Characterization of the electrocatalytic behavior and the analytical (sensing) performance are reported. Applicability to wine samples is illustrated.

    Notes: Carbon paste electrodes modified either by mixing palladium powder to the electrode material or by electrodepositing Pd via cycling the potential between 0.4 and -0.7 V (versus SCE) exhibited stable electrocatalytic response for aliphatic aldehydes and aliphatic alcohols. The aldehydes (e.g., formaldehyde) could be reduced to the corresponding alcohols (e.g., methanol), and the alcohols (e.g., methanol) could be oxidized to the corresponding aldehydes (e.g., formaldehyde) by direct current voltammetry (DCV). The electrocatalytic effect was attributed to the electrogenerated metallic palladium at the electrode surface. The cathodic current peak, the height of which was proportional to the aldehyde concentration, had negative values; it was ascribed to a desorption of the product of the electrode reaction from the surface of the electrode. This peak was used for quantitative analytical purposes.

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: A new concept of electrode modification is presented, consisting of chemically assisted electrochemical oxidative pretreatment of the electrode surface. If carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) are polarized at +1.75 V (vs Ag/AgCl) in a dilute alkaline medium (1 × 10-3mol/L) containing 0.1 mol/L NaNO3 for 60s, they exhibit a unique ability to preconcentrate adenine, an important biological substance, that served as a model compound. In this work, a thorough study has been performed to explore the new pretreatment procedure, but also its analytical application for trace adenine determination was optimized. During the pretreatment of a CPE, a specific oxide layer is formed due to a synergistic effect of a combined anodic and chemical oxidation process, in which the presence of sodium nitrate plays a crucial role. In a subsequent step under open-circuit conditions, adenine is oxidized by the oxide layer, and the resulting oxidation product is strongly adsorbed onto the electrode surface. After medium exchange, the adsorbed oxidation product of adenine is reduced at -0.5 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) and the voltammetric current response can be utilized for analytical purposes. Applying 10 min accumulation and square-wave voltammetric operation, the detection limit of 20 μg/L (1.5 × 10-7 mol/L) of adenine in a sample solution was acquired. The voltammetric behavior of adenine at plain and pretreated CPEs is also presented and discussed.

    Notes: A palladium-dispersed carbon paste electrode was used for the electrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide. After cycling the potential between 0.4 and -0.8V (vs. SCE) in pure dilute alkaline solution (10-3M NaOH), the resulting electrode surface exhibited stable and sensitive electrocatalytic response for hydrogen peroxide. The involved catalytic mechanism was thoroughly investigated. The electrocatalytic effect was attributed to electrogenerated elemental palladium at the electrode surface. The catalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide proceeds via the hydroxyl radical, OH·. Dissolved oxygen can also be catalytically reduced in a similar way to hydrogen peroxide. The height of the cathodic catalytic current peak, as obtained by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) was directly proportional to the hydrogen peroxide concentration over a very wide concentration range (0.1-600mgL-1). The detection limit (3σ) was calculated as 50 μgL-1 H2O2.

    Notes: A method for the voltammetric determination of nitrate in drinking water is presented. Nitrate exerts a catalytic effect on the reduction and reoxidation of thallium (1 ↔ 0) in cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry, leading to a peak enhancement. Nitrate can be preconcentrated together with tetrachlorothallate(III) from hydrochloric acid solutions onto a carbon paste electrode modified with a liquid anion exchanger. (Amberlite LA2) under open circuit conditions. After reduction of the Tl(III) to Tl(0) at the electrode surface at a potential of -1.2 V (vs. SCE), the increase of the reoxidation current of Tl(III) to TI(I) by nitrate is exploited for analytical purposes. Linearity between current and concentration exists for 0.5 to 60 μg · mL-1 nitrate when applying anodic differential pulse vokammetry. Mechanical regeneration of the electrode surface is necessary after each measurement. The interference of other anions and the influence of methodical parameters are invistigated. The applicability of this method for the determination of nitrate in drinking wat concise overview on the the electroanalytical techniques for the Quantitative determination of nitrate is also presented.

    Notes: The voltammetric behavior of a bismuthiol I-containing carbon paste electrode was studied. Bismuthiol 1 is electroactive, when mixed with carbon paste as an electrode modifier, and is oxidized at 0.3 V and re-reduced at -0.6 V (vs. SCE). Nevertheless, it can be used as a modifier of carbon paste electrodes for the preconcentration and subsequent voltammetric measurement of bismuth, if suitable measurement conditions for the analysis are met. Bismuth(III) can be preconcentrated from acidic solutions onto this electrode under open circuit conditions. Linearity between current response and concentration can be achieved for 0.005 to 4 μg/ml bismuth using cathodic differential pulse voltammetry after preconcentration for 0.5 or 2 minutes. The interferences as well as various parameters for the preconcentration and measurement of bismuth(III) were investigated.

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: A potentiometric stripping method for trace measurements of insulin at carbon paste electrodes is described. The method is based on the controlled adsorptive accumulation of this polypeptide hormone at the anodically pretreated carbon surface followed by constant-current chronopotentiometric measurements of the surface species. A well-defined peak, associated with the oxidation of the tyrosine residues, is observed over the flat baseline of the potentiometric stripping operation. Variables of the pretreatment and measurement steps are optimized to offer a detection limit of 2 × 10-9M after 5 min preconcentration. Excess of nunierous potential interferences does not influence the response observed after transferring the electrode (with the accumulated insulin) to a blank electrolyte solution. A similar protocol is described for trace measurements of the protein myoglobin.

    Notes: Carbon paste electrodes (CPEs), modified by addition of Pd powder to the paste and electroactivation, exhibited electrocatalytic activity towards hydroxylamine. Electrogenerated palladium(0) at the electrode surface was found to be involved in the electrocatalytic oxidation of NH2OH. The electrode was employed as an amperometric detector for flow injection systems. Repeated injections (60) of hydroxylamine (5 ng) showed a relative standard deviation of 4.0%. Linear relation between the current and the analyte concentration was found between 0.1 and 10 ng of hydroxylamine. The detection limit was 20pg NH2OH (3σ). The applicability of the method to the determination of hydroxylamine in river water was investigated.
