    Abstract:
    Iron nanoparticles decorated multi-wall carbon nanotubes modified carbon paste electrode (Fe-MWCNTs/MCPE) was prepared by bulk-modification method. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) suggests least charge transfer resistance at the modified electrode. The electrochemical behavior of UA was studied in 0.1M phosphate buffer solution (PBS) of pH3.0 using cyclic voltammetry (CV) while differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used for quantification. The spectroelectrochemial study of oxidation of UA at Fe-MWCNTs/MCPE showed a decrease in the absorbance of two peaks with time, which are ascribed to π to π(⁎) and n to π(⁎) transitions. Under optimum condition, the DPV response offered two linear dynamic ranges for UA in the concentration range 7.0×10(-8)M-1.0×10(-6)M and 2.0×10(-6)M-1.0×10(-5)M with detection limit (4.80±0.35)×10(-8)M (S/N=3). The practical analytical application of this sensor was successfully evaluated by determination of spiked UA in clinical samples, such as human blood serum and urine with good percentage recovery. The proposed electrochemical sensor offers a simple, reliable, rapid, reproducible and cost effective analysis of a quaternary mixture of biomolecules containing AA, DA, UA and Tyr which was free from mutual interferences.
