Nimesulide Determination on Carbon Black-Nafion Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode by Means of Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetry

Abstract

Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric method for Nimesulide (NIM) determination was developed. As a working electrode, glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with carbon black and Nafion (CB-Nafion GCE) was used. All measurements were carried out in 0.1 M acetate buffer (pH 4.6). Conducted experiments allowed to optimize differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) instrumental parameters: sampling and waiting time ts = tw = 10 ms, step potential Es = 4 mV, and pulse amplitude ΔE = 50 mV. The best results were obtained for preconcentration potential and time equal to 400 mV and 20 s, respectively. Limit of detection was calculated and was equal to 0.14 µM for 20-s preconcentration time and 0.06 µM for 40-s preconcentration time. In order to prove the applicability of the developed method, concentration of nimesulide in pharmaceutical products was determined. Calculated recoveries were in the range 94–99%, which indicates that the method might be assumed as accurate. Coefficient of variation was equal to 5.0% (n = 7, NIM concentration 1 µM) Obtained results of NIM determination were in good agreement with the content declared by producers.

An Electrochemical Sensor for the Determination of Trace Concentrations of Cadmium, Based on Spherical Glassy Carbon and Nanotubes

“…As described, it is suitable for use over the potential range from about +1.2 to −0.8 V in acid medium, and for most tested ions, a peak-type wave that approaches ideality is obtained [9,10]. The importance of glassy carbon in voltammetry is confirmed by the fact that to this day it is a commonly used electrode material [11][12][13][14]. One of the recently described applications of GC is its use as a perfect substrate to create metallic film electrodes, e.g., bismuth film electrode (BiFE).…”

Nickel contamination analysis at cost-effective silver printed paper-based electrodes based on carbon black dimethylglyoxime ink as electrode modifier

“…The nanomaterial is often employed as thin film or electrode coating in conjunction with other nanoparticles and active materials. Recently, few studies have proposed the use of CB-based sensors to enhance the sensitivity of electrochemical sensors for stripping voltammetric analysis [24][25][26][27][28]. However, few studies have been conducted for metal analysis.…”
