Epinephrine electrochemical sensor based on a carbon paste electrode modified with hydroquinone derivative and graphene oxide nano-sheets: Simultaneous determination of epinephrine, acetaminophen and dopamine

In this paper, an electrochemical sensor was constructed for determination of epinephrine based on carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with graphene oxide (GO) and 2-(5-Ethyl-2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5,7-dimethy1-4H-pyrido[2,3-d][1,3]thiazine-4-one (EDDPT) as modifiers. The modified electrode was applied as an electrochentical sensor for oxidation of epinephrine (EP). Under the optimum conditions, the over potential of EP oxidation decreased about 279 mV at the modified CPE more than a non-modified CPE. Electrochemical behavior of EP was investigated on the fabricated electrode by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) methods, and some kinetic parameters of EP Were obtained, too. The linear range and the detection limit for EP were found to be 1.5-600.0 WM and 0.65 uM (based on 3 sum), respectively using the EDDPT/GO/CPE sensor and the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) method. Also, the designed electrochemical sensor was applied to determine EP in the drug sample and simultaneous determination of epinephrine (EP), acetaminophen (AC) and dopamine (DA) in human serum solutions.
