Determination of paracetamol with porous electrochemical sensor

J Biomed Nanotechnol. 2009 Oct;5(5):607-10. doi: 10.1166/jbn.2009.1069.

Abstract

A novel and sensitive electrochemical sensor based on porous pseudo-carbon paste electrode (PPCPE) for paracetamol detection is described. It was demonstrated that PPCPE exhibits a high selectivity and sensitivity toward paracetamol in comparison with polypyrrole modified carbon paste electrode (PCPE), carbon nanotube modified carbon paste electrode (CNTPE) and carbon paste electrode (CPE), and a detection limit as low as 0.005 mM was obtained.
