“…Several methods have been developed for the detection and determination of morphine and its major metabolites. The most common analytical techniques currently used are gas chromatography -mass spectrometry [3,4], solid phase extraction -high performance liquid chromatography [5,7], liquid chromatography with UV [8], fluorescence [9] and mass spectrometry detection [10,11], capillary electrophoresis with mass spectrometry [12], laser induced fluorescence detection [13] and surface plasmon resonance based immunosensors [14,15]. The use of HPLC with electrochemical detection was recommended for the determination of morphine in biological fluids for its high sensitivity [16 -23].The use of bare unmodified electrodes as an electrochemical sensors for morphine and its derivatives detection has a number of limitations such as low sensitivity and reproducibility, slow electron transfer reactions, low stability over a wide range of solution compositions and high overpotential at which the electron transfer process occurs and some of them are not sensitive enough for real sample analysis.…”
