Electrochemical codeine sensor based on carbon paste electrode/HKUST-1

Abstract

In this research, the Cu-MOF (metal-organic framework, HKUST-1) was synthesized via co-precipitation method and it was into the carbon paste electrode and has been investigated in the measurement of codeine. The electrochemical performance of the modified electrode was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The effective parameters in the sensitivity of the method were optimized. Quantitative measurements and determination of codeine at the surface of the modified electrode were performed by using differential pulse voltammetry. Finally, the ability of the developed method to measure codeine in real plasma samples was investigated. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range was obtained from 2 to 100 μ M with a limit of detection of 0.66 μ M. The high efficiency of the developed electrode in plasma samples was proved by using high and acceptable accuracy and satisfactory relative recovery percentage. The results in which the recoveries values with RSD% for three repeated measurements were in the range of 97–109 (%RSD = 3.75 to 4).
