Voltammetric Determination Of Famotidine On A Disposable Pencil Graphite Electrode, Iulia Gabriela David, Dana Elena Popa, Andreea-Alexandra Calin, Mihaela Buleandra, Emilia-Elena Iorgulescu Jan 2016

Voltammetric Determination Of Famotidine On A Disposable Pencil Graphite Electrode, Iulia Gabriela David, Dana Elena Popa, Andreea-Alexandra Calin, Mihaela Buleandra, Emilia-Elena Iorgulescu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The present paper describes the use of a disposable pencil graphite electrode (PGE) for the voltammetric determination of famotidine. Cyclic voltammetric studies using different supporting electrolytes emphasized an irreversible oxidation of famotidine on the PGE. The electrode process is diffusion-controlled and pH-dependent. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in phosphate buffer solution of pH 6.81 was employed for famotidine's quantitative determination. The anodic peak current of famotidine varies linearly with the analyte concentration in the range 4.72 $\times $ 10$^{-7}$--4.95 $\times $ 10$^{-4}$ M. Detection and quantification limits were 1.51 $\times $ 10$^{-7}$ M and 5.04 $\times $ 10$^{-7}$ M famotidine, respectively. …

Simple And Rapid Voltammetric Determination Of Boron In Water And Steel Samples Using A Pencil Graphite Electrode, Lokman Li̇v, Nuri̇ Naki̇boğlu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

This paper presents a simple, rapid, and accurate voltammetric method for determination of boron in water and steel samples using a disposable pencil graphite electrode. The oxidation of Tiron in the boron-Tiron complex in phosphate buffer at pH 7.5 was measured as a response. Type and concentration of supporting electrolyte, pH, ionic strength, Tiron concentration, scan rate, step amplitude, pulse amplitude, and pencil grade were investigated as the parameters affecting the peak current. The limit of detection (3s) was estimated as 84 $\mu $g/L. The relative standard deviation of the method was 4.6 for 1 mg B/L (N = 7). …
