A new low-cost green electrochemical sensor based on nontoxic polyethylene
glycol (PEG) and silver nanoparticles was used to improve the sensitivity
of the carbon paste electrode for the investigation of olanzapine
(OLZ) in dosage arrangements and in the existence of its coadministered
drug fluoxetine and in the drug formulation. Scanning electron microscopy
measurements were carried out to emphasize the morphology of the electrode
surface. Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry were
used to explore the diffusion and linearity behaviors of OLZ. Impedance
spectroscopy measurements were determined to investigate the ac behavior
of OLZ and then an ideal electrical circuit was modeled. A linear
calibration was obtained from 1.0 × 10
–8
to
1.25 × 10
–4
M. The limit of detection was 1.5
× 10
–9
M, whereas the limit of quantification
was 5 × 10
–9
M. The way has been wholly authenticated
concerning linearity, precision, accuracy, reproducibility, sensitivity,
and selectivity.
