Abstract
This paper reports the selective determination of norepinephrine (NEP) in the presence of very important interferences, ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) using electropolymerized film of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole (p-ATD) modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode in 0.20M phosphate buffer solution (pH 5.0). The bare GC electrode does not separate the voltammetric signals of AA, NEP and UA. However, p-ATD modified GC electrode not only resolved the voltammetric signals of AA, NEP and UA with potential differences of 150 and 130mV between AA–NEP and NEP–UA, respectively but also dramatically enhanced the oxidation peak currents of them when compared to bare GC electrode. The modified electrode showed an excellent selectivity towards NEP even in the presence of 100-fold excess of AA and UA. The amperometric current was linearly increased from 40nM to 25μM for NEP and the lowest detection limit was found to be 0.17nM (S/N=3). The practical application of the modified electrode was demonstrated by determining NEP in norepinephrine hydrochloride injection.
