Abstract
The adsorptive stripping voltammetric behavior of bovine insulin has been studied by both differential pulse and square-wave techniques, leading to analytical methodologies for its determination in aqueous samples and pharmaceutical preparations. The application of a square-wave mode for the stripping of adsorbed bovine insulin has proved to be much more sensitive, yielding signals 20 times larger than those obtained by applying a differential pulse scan. The precision obtained for the voltammetric method, at a concentration level as low as 0.77 mg L–1 of the protein, was found to be 1.45% (RSD., n = 8) by SWS and 2.20% (RSD., n = 8) by DPS. The pharmaceutical product Actrapid containing biosynthetic human insulin was analyzed by both methods.
