Disposable Voltammetric Determination of Celestine Blue at a Pencil Graphite Electrode

Abstract

The proposed study describes a novel and disposable voltammetric sensor that designed for the sensitive determination of celestine blue (CelsB) using a pencil graphite electrode (PGE). The electrochemical characterization study of the designed sensor was performed by recording the cyclic voltammograms (CVs) and electrochemical impedance (EI) curves in 5.0 mM of Fe(CN)63-/4- including 0.10 M of KCl, and compared with the other carbon-based electrodes such as carbon paste (CPE) and glassy carbon (GCE) electrodes. The electrochemical behaviour of CelsB was examined at different carbon-based electrodes including PGE, CPE, and GCE by the cyclic voltammetric (CV) method. The recorded CVs showed that the remarkable response obtained at PGE toward oxidation of CelsB. Moreover, the PGE shows a wide linear range (4.0 − 150 μM) and detects the CelsB with a notable limit of detection (1.21 μM). In addition, the results from the interference studies proved that the PGE enables selective voltammetric determination of CelsB in presence of various species. A feasibility study for CelsB sensor was also tested on tap water and cherry apple juice samples and the recovery values obtained between 96.2 − 103 % with high precision and accuracy indicated that the PGE shows an acceptable and good applicability to real samples.
