Abstract

AbstractOfloxacin (OFL) has antibacterial and anti‐inflammatory effects on respiratory tract infection, skin soft tissue infection and urogenital tract infection caused by sensitive bacteria. In this study, an electrochemical sensor on account of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and anthraquinone (AQ)/Vulcan XC‐72 (C) composite was prosperity prepared for the determination of ofloxacin (OFL) drug. The morphology and structure of C/20%AQ composites were characterized by SEM. The electrochemical behavior of OFL on the C/20%AQ/GCE sensor was tested using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The consequences indicate that the linear response of the sensor to OFL at pH 6.5 in 0.2 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS) was in the scope of 0.1–550.0 μM (R2=0.998) with the limit of detection of 0.01 μM. The prepared C/20%AQ/GCE sensor exhibited good anti‐interference ability and repeatability against OFL. The sensor presents a sensitive, simple and low cost OFL detection method, and has been successfully applied to real samples.
