Abstract:
A new electrochemical sensor for nanomolar rutin detection based on amine-functionalized Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (NH₂-Fe₃O₄ NPs-ErGO/GCE) was fabricated through a simple method, and the X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and electrochemical technique were used to characterize the modified electrode. The electrochemical behavior of rutin on the Fe₃O₄ NPs-ErGO/GCE was studied in detail. The electrochemical response of rutin at this modified electrode was remarkably higher than that of the bare GCE or other modified GCE (GO/GCE, Fe₃O₄ NPs-GO/GCE, and ErGO/GCE). Under the optimum determination conditions, Fe₃O₄ NPs-ErGO/GCE provided rutin with a broader detection range of 6.0 nM⁻0.1 µM; 0.1⁻8.0 µM and 8.0⁻80 µM, a minimum detectable concentration of 4.0 nM was obtained after 210 s accumulation. This novel method was applied in determination of rutin in pharmaceutical tablets and urine samples with satisfactory results.

The chemical gradient relies on differences in the abundance of a substance on the outside versus the inside of a cell and flows from areas of high to low ion concentration. In contrast, the electrical gradient revolves around an...

Pyruvate Oxidation
First, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate and releases it as carbon dioxide. The stripped molecule is then oxidized and releases electrons, which are then picked up by NAD+...
