Simultaneous Voltammetric Measurement of Ascorbic Acid, Epinephrine, Uric Acid and Tyrosine at a Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with Nanozeolite-Multiwall Carbon Nanotube

In this study, incorporation of iron ion-doped natrolite nanozeolite, multi-wall carbon nanotubes into chitosan-coated glassy carbon electrode for the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid, epinephrine, uric acid and tyrosine is studied. The results show that the combination of multi-wall carbon nanotubes and iron ion-doped natrolite zeolite causes a dramatic enhancement in the sensitivity of ascorbic acid, epinephrine, uric acid and tyrosine quantification. The sensor gave the separated and sharp voltammetric responses of analytes in four well-defined linear sweep voltammetry peaks. Under the optimum conditions, the calibration curve were linear up to ۱.۸۲ × ۱۰-۳, ۳.۱۵ × ۱۰-۳ , ۱.۵۰ × ۱۰-۴ and ۶.۲۹ × ۱۰-۴ M with detection limits ۱.۸۲ × ۱۰-۶, ۱.۳۳× ۱۰-۶, ۴.۰۹ × ۱۰-۸ and ۲.۰۱× ۱۰-۷ M (S/N= ۳) for ascorbic acid, epinephrine, uric acid  and tyrosine, respectively. The analytical performance of this sensor has been evaluated for simultaneous detection of four analytes in human serum and urine samples.
