Electrochemical determination of uric acid in the presence of dopamine and riboflavin using a poly(resorcinol)-modified carbon nanotube sensor
Abstract
In this study, an electrochemical sensor based on a poly(resorcinol) modified carbon nanotube paste electrode (P(RS)/MCNTPE) was successfully developed for the sensitive and selective detection of uric acid (UA) in the presence of dopamine (DA) and riboflavin (RFN). The sensor shows excellent performance in a 0.2 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH 7.0 with a scan rate 0.1 V/s. Various electrochemical methods were studied including cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Morphological analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) conformed the enhanced surface properties of the bare carbon nanotubes paste electrode (BCNTPE) and the P(RS)/MCNTPE. The effect of pH, scan rate changes 0.025 to 0.25 V/s, revealed that the oxidation of UA follows an adsorption-controlled process. For UA concentration changes from 20 µM and 380 µM, sensor exhibited a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.18 µM and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.61 µM. Optimal UA response was observed at pH 7.0. The sensor shows good stability, repeatability, and reproducibility. Its analytical applicability was successfully validated in real sample analysis.
