Abstract:
AIM To study the conducting polymer modified electrode which has the molecule recognition characteristics. A novel method for the determination of acetaminophen (ACOP) was established using this polymer electrode. METHODS The acridine orange as monomer, the poly (acridine orange) (POAO) modified electrode was polymerized on a glassy carbon electrode by cyclic voltammetry. The polymer electrode used as working electrode, ACOP was determined by multiple semi-differential voltammetry. RESULTS The POAO modified electrode showed molecular recognition and electrocatalysis characteristics for ACOP, the oxidative overpotential of ACOP could be decreased by 128 mV. CONCLUSION The life of the modified electrode was three months, and it can be used for the determination of ACOP in pharmaceutical preparations.
