Abstract
In this work, we describe the development of an electrochemical sensing platform that employs electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ErGO) and gold (Au) deposited on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) to synthesize Au/ErGO/SPCE for the determination of the antibiotic drug doxycycline (DC). A modified Hummer's approach was adopted to initially prepare graphene oxide, which was then characterized by using powder XRD, FTIR, and UV spectroscopy before being utilized for modification on SPCE. Cyclic voltammetry was performed to form ErGO on SPCE to give ErGO/SPCE followed by electrodeposition of gold to get a final modified electrode Au/ErGO/SPCE. The effect of experimental conditions, like scan rate and pH on the electrochemical behavior of DC for Au/ErGO/SPCE, was evaluated. Square wave voltammetry (SWV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements were used to assess the electro-oxidation of DC on Au/ErGO/SPCE, and the electrochemical reaction conditions were also optimized. Furthermore, Au/ErGO/SPCE-based electrochemical sensors showed good recovery and high accuracy for DC determination in the complex food matrix and blood serum. The limit of detection (LOD), the limit of quantification (LOQ), and the linear calibration range of DC on Au/ErGO/SPCE under optimum experimental conditions were 0.124µm, 0.415µm, and 1-100µm respectively, with high sensitivity of 0.194 μA μM-1cm-2. Finally, the proposed electrochemical sensing platform was effectively used to determine low DC concentrations in real samples such as chicken flesh and blood serum, indicating its wide range of applications in quality control.
