研究目的
The main objective proposed in this work is the quantitative resolution of catechol/dopamine (CAT/DA) and dopamine/epinephrine (DA/EP) mixtures, using spectroelectrochemical sensors in long optical path length arrangement based on bare optical fibers in parallel configuration with respect to carbon nanotubes or screen-printed electrodes.
研究成果
The study demonstrates the combined use of PARAFAC and UV?vis absorption SEC in parallel arrangement to quantitatively determine the concentration of different analytes in mixtures (CAT/DA and DA/EP) of varying concentrations and at acidic pH, where the signals are highly overlapped. This represents a significant advancement in the field of spectroelectroanalysis, showcasing the technique's potential for resolving complex mixtures without the need for prior separation steps.
研究不足
The detection limits obtained, while satisfactory for the study's objectives, are not as low as those reported in literature using other techniques. This is attributed to technical reasons related to the signal-to-noise ratio, which could be improved with better light sources, monochromators, and detectors in future developments.
