Abstract: An oxide surface was formed on a 2-mm Ag-wire electrode by conditioning in 0.1 M NaOH at +0.7 V for 30 min and then at 0.45 V vs. the SCE. The properties of the electrode were studied and it was applied to the electrochemical detection of simple sugars separated by HPLC on a Waters carbohydrate analysis column (30 cm x 3.9 mm) with mobile phase (1 ml/min) of acetonitrile/phosphate buffer of pH 8 (36:11) and by FIA. Calibration graphs were rectilinear for 1-100 µM-galactose, glucose, ribose and xylose.

Abstract: Many simple carbohydrates and other polyhydroxy compounds can be oxidized at a silver oxide surface. The oxidation is via an electrocatalytic mechanism involving a Ag(I) oxide. This forms the basis of a flow stream detector operated in an amperometric mode which may be used for either flow injection or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) applications. The title electrode has been applied to the detection of simple carbohydrates, triglycerides and nucleic acid components.

Abstract: The response of the silver oxide electrode to carbohydrates, polyhydroxy compounds and amines is dependent on several factors. These include the number of oxidizable groups on the substrate and the way in which the electrode surface is prepared, including the potential program, the thickness of the oxide layer, the surface area and the presence of other species in the solution during electrode conditioning. Studies of these factors led to a pulsed potential program for the conditioning and maintenance of electrode stability, with the incorporation of phosphate during the initial conditioning process. This method led to a response to 10^-4 M glucose, which was reproducible for at least forty repeated injections and stable for at least four hours with a relative standard deviation of 5.2 %. This response was also reproducible on successive days when the electrode was prepared in the same manner.

Abstract: When a silver electrode is conditioned in a solution of 0.5 M sodium hydroxide with added sodium phosphate and using a dual pulse (500 mV/750 mV vs. Ag/AgCl), a stable silver(I)/silver(II) oxide surface is formed. It has been previously shown that various moieties react with the silver(II) oxide in a chemical oxidation at the outer surface of the oxide layer. This is then followed by re-oxidation of the silver with the generation of current at approximately 500 mV relative to the silver/silver chloride electrode. Previously we found the need to remove carbon dioxide from the base and condition the electrode in a solution containing phosphate ion in order to provide mechanical stability to the oxide layer. We have previously shown this electrode to be applicable to the detection of a variety of carbohydrates. The applicability of the silver oxide/silver phosphate electrode to the post-chromatographic amperometric detection of amino acids was investigated. Calibration studies of amino acids representative of the various classes demonstrated good sensitivity and linearity in the 1-100 M range. Responses of amino acids were measured using glucose as an external standard, in order to correct for variability of the oxide layer. Relative responses of the amino acids ranged from 3 down to 0.1. Correlation with structure suggested the importance of absorption in determining the rate of oxidation. Comparison of arginine with n-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester indicated that side chains as well as the backbone amino group can be oxidized. A Levitch plot of alanine was shown to be linear from approximately 30 to 300 radians per second spin rate at a scan rate of 50 mV per second. Application to post-chromatographic detection was demonstrated.
