Abstract:
A new approach for determining cyanide in microsamples is described. The method is based on capillary flow injection analysis (CFIA) with amperometric detection. The sensing electrode is a silver-plated microdisk electrode, where cyanide can react under formation of a dicyanoargentate complex. A remarkably low mass detection limit of 231 fmol cyanide is obtained for an injection volume of 60 nl. The sample throughput of the CFIA-arrangement is comparable with a conventional sized FIA-system. A practical application is given by analyzing the cyanide (amygdalin) concentration in apple kernels.
