Abstract
We report a novel electrode composite comprising zinc phosphate within a multiwalled carbon nanotube paste electrode matrix which is applied for the detection of trace amounts of captopril (CAP) via square-wave adsorptive anodic stripping voltammetry (SWAdASV); to the best of our knowledge this is the first report on such a composite electrode. Under optimum experimental conditions, the peak current of CAP was found to be linear over the concentration range from 3.7 to 67 μmol L−1 with a limit of detection of 0.1 μmol L−1. The proposed method was applied for the successful determination of CAP in commercial tablet excipients and biological samples using the electroanalytical protocol evaluated against the laboratory standard iodometric procedure. Excellent comparability between the two is found suggesting that the former can replace the latter within laboratory settings or can be applied to in-the-field applications.
