Bioelectroanalysis of pharmaceutical compounds

  • Published:
Bioanalytical Reviews

Abstract

Recent developments in the bioelectroanalysis of pharmaceutical compounds are reviewed, concentrating particularly on the development of electrode materials and measurement strategies and on their application. The advantages of electroanalytical techniques as alternatives to other analytical procedures such as rapid response, sensitivity and low detection limits are highlighted and illustrated. Particular emphasis is given to carbon-based materials for voltammetric electroanalysis; new potentiometric sensors and electrochemical biosensors are also reviewed.
