Abstract: The construction and performance of composite graphite-Teflon electrodes, in which the enzymes L- or D-amino acid oxidase and peroxidase are coimmobilized, together with the mediator ferrocene, is described. This biosensor design allows a detection potential of 0.0 V to be applied. Optimization of experimental variables both in the batch and flow injection modes is reported. Composite bienzyme electrodes show a good stability, and reproducibility, and their analytical characteristics are suitable to estimate the amino acid content in real samples.

Abstract: Graphite/PTFE composite electrodes (details given) were used as indicator electrodes for the flow injection amperometric detection of the herbicides, thiram (I) and disulfiram (II) at a potential of +1 V vs. Ag/AgCl/3 M KCl in a carrier stream (1.9 ml/min) of 0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 and with an injection volume of 250 µL. Calibration graphs were linear up to 40 µM-I and -II and the detection limits were 0.043 and 0.02 µM, respectively. RSD (n = 10) were 7.7 and 5.7%, respectively, for 0.1 µM of I and II. Recoveries of 40 µg/l of I from spiked tap and well water were >97%. The adsorptive pre-concentration of the herbicides from flowing streams (2.7 ml/min) was carried out at 0.0 V. At the end of the pre-concentration period the phosphate buffer stream was passed for 30 s prior to the determination of the suface-bound herbicide by applying a linear sweep anodic potential ramp up to +1.2 V. Calibration graphs were linear from 0.4-1 and 0.2-1 µM-I and -II, respectively. The continuous-flow injection separation of I and II was carried out by inserting a 30-40 µm VYDAC SC-201 column (3 cm x 0.2 mm i.d.) into the FIA system and using acetonitrile/0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 (1:3) as mobile phase (1.9 ml/min).

Abstract: The electrochemical detection of phenolic compounds separated by reversed-phase HPLC was evaluated with graphite - PTFE electrodes of various compositions (such electrodes were easily prepared and were inexpensive compared with vitreous-carbon electrodes). The construction of a flow cell for use in conjunction with graphite - PTFE electrodes is also described. Detection limits for phenolic compounds were 0.5 to 1 ng. Repeat injections yielded peak heights with coefficient of variation of <1%. Background currents, noise level, cell design, current vs. time graphs and electrode fouling were investigated and conditions were optimized.

Abstract: The voltammetric and flow injection amperometric behaviors of several substances used as antioxidants in the food and pharmaceutical industries at carbon paste electrodes, with paraffin as binding agent, and at graphite-40% PTFE composite electrodes were compared on the basis of the different hydrophobicity of the antioxidants. Aqueous solutions, alcohol-water mixtures and oil-in-water-emulsions were used as working media. No voltammetric or flow injection responses were obtained for high hydrophobic antioxidants (BHT, Irganox-1076 and Irganox-1010) at graphite-PTFE electrodes. On the contrary, carbon paste electrodes allowed the attainment of analytically useful signals for these compounds. A pulse amperometric detection (PAD) scheme should be applied in these cases for the cleaning of the electrode surface. The use of graphite-PTFE electrodes seems to be advantageous for the less hydrophobic antioxidants such us propyl gallate and TBHQ. An adsorption process for PG and a faster electrode kinetic in the case of TBHQ were shown to occur by cyclic voltammetry at the PTFE composite electrode. Furthermore, this electrode allows the use of lower potentials for the amperometric detection of these compounds than the carbon paste electrode. Good reproducibility of the successive amperometric responses was also observed. The mutual influence of the electrode surface composition and the lipophilic characteristics of the molecules tested is discussed.

Abstract: In this paper, the procedure of preparation of graphite-Teflon composite electrode (GTE) by coating was investigated. The coating consisted of a solid mixture 2.5 g(graphite 45%, Teflon 45% and PVC 10%) mixed with a solvent(THF: DMF = 1:4 in volume) 0.8 mL. Copper wires(phi = 0.7 mm) were coated by the coating and heated at 200°C for 5 min, and the GTEs were finished. They could be modified and changed into other metallic Teflon composite electrode only by electroplating in correspondent plating bath, such as mercury- cobalt- or copper- Teflon composite electrode. They had been applied to flow injection analysis by techniques of electrochemistry successfully. 8 References
