Abstract
A novel copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) film modification on cysteamine (Cys)-gold nanoparticle (AuNp) graphite-wax (GW) composite electrode was achieved for the quantitative determination of L-Tryptophan (L-Trp) at a reduced overpotential of 400mV in comparison with the bare Cys-AuNp-GW composite electrode. This modified electrode exhibited a well resolved pair of redox peaks corresponding to the hexacyanoferrate (II/III) reactions of CuHCF film at a formal potential of 0.65 V at a scan rate of 20 mV s(-1). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies with the modified electrode showed a very low charge transfer resistance to the electron transfer kinetics of Fe(II)/Fe(III) reactions. A linear range of 8.5×10(-7) M to 1.2×10(-4) M with a detection limit of 1.85×10(-8) M was achieved for the determination of L-Trp with a sensitivity of 0.1198 μA/μM. The influence of ultrasonication on the stability of the CuHCF film modified electrode was investigated. In addition, the CuHCF film modified electrode displayed an excellent reproducibility towards the real time analysis of L-Trp in commercial milk samples.
