Electrochemical Quantification of L-tryptophan Via Molecular Imprinted Pyromellitic Acid Polymer-Based Indium Tin Oxide Electrode

Abstract

Herein highlighting a molecular imprinted pyromellitic acid modified indium tin oxide electrode for the quantification of L-tryptophan. The quality and features of the modified electrode were in accordance with the basic characteristic features of a sensor in all perspectives. The morphological and the functional group identification of the electrode surface were done by scanning electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. The proposed electrode material exhibits prolonged stability with ease of handling for real sample analysis. The linear range of the fabricated electrode was noticed to be the highest linearity reported through a molecular imprinted electrode for the electrochemical quantification of L-tryptophan. The electrode has a linear range from 0.4 μM to 500 μM with lower detection limit of 0.1 μM. The sensitivity of the electrode was calculated to be 0.297 μM/μA/cm 2 .

Biopolymer supported electroanalytical methods for the determination of biomolecules and food additives – a comprehensive perspective

“…This approach is environmentally friendly, less expensive, involves quick analysis and is becoming more and more exact, selective, and sensitive. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] For the time being, numerous techniques based on spectrophotometry, capillary electrophoresis, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) have been created to identify different food colourants and biomolecules. 14,15 Although these methods are tried and true, they necessitate more expensive tools, more advanced skills, and drawn-out processes.…”

Development of a voltammetric method for the determination of rapamycin in pharmaceutical samples at pretreated pencil graphite electrode

“…[ 11,12 ] PGEs are easily polarizable electrode with excellent mechanical stability, and have high electric conductivity due to sp 2 hybridized carbon. [ 13,14 ] A continuously renewable surface is the most important feature of the PGEs, thanks to this feature, the PGEs do not need to be constantly cleaned and polished like solid electrodes, and reproducible results are obtained on each surface. [ 15–17 ] HB and B labels are used for hardnesses and darknesses of pencil leads identifications, and scale numbers show the graphite/clay ratios.…”
