The clopidol-imprinted polypyrrole films were electrochemically prepared on screen printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) in aqueous solutions of pyrrole, clopidol and NaClO 4 as the supporting electrolyte.The clopidol template molecules were successfully trapped in the polypyrrole (PPy) film where they created artificial recognition sites. After extraction of the template, the PPy film acted as a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for the specific and selective recognition of clopidol. The clopidol-imprinted PPy films were found to selectively detect clopidol. The highest anodic signal of clopidol was obtained in a phosphate buffer solution of pH 9.0. Using differential pulse voltammetry, the calibration curve for clopidol spiked to chicken meat at MIP-SPCE was linear for a concentration range of 0.3-1.8 mg kg À1 .The detection limit of clopidol was found as 0.21 mg kg À1 (S/N ¼ 3). The MIP-SPCE showed a stable and reproducible response without any influence of interferents existing in real samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
