Abstract
A carbon paste electrode modified by carbon nanotubes and a synthesized hydroquinone derivative (abbreviated as DHB) was fabricated. It was used as an electrochemical sensor for simultaneous determination of norepinephrine (NE), acetaminophen (AC), and tryptophan (Trp). Oxidation potential of NE decreased about 220 mV at the modified electrode in comparison with unmodified electrode because of electrocatalysis of oxidation of NE via EC mechanism at the modified electrode. Differential pulse voltammetry was used for obtaining the calibration plot of NE and two linear range of 0.2–20.0 μM and 20.0–1,500.0 μM and an interesting detection limit (3σ) of 40.0 nM were obtained for NE. Also, simultaneous determination of NE, AC, and Trp was described by the proposed sensor and linear range of 20.0–800.0 μM was found for AC and Trp. Finally, the electrochemical sensor was used for the determination of NE, AC, and Trp in mixture.
