To determine the sample by using glassy carbon electrode. I need modified the electrode so how can i select and which one is preferable in case of Pharmacuetical formulation sample.
The modification of a glassy carbon electrode related with which of ions that test / drugs and you can use the simple immedion or the deposited method .
I think that the modification of glassy carbon electrode can start from two aspects: the first is based on the superior conductive material, the second is based on the specific binding of functional groups. This is my decoration ideas, I hope it will help you.
The first thing you have to do is to know which is the molecule you want to determine. There is no any general methodology, it depends on the analyte. Is it electroactive? Maybe you don't need any modification, just a good conditioning. Even in case it is you may want to increase the sensitivity and you can nanostructure the electrode or pre-concentrate the analyte by adsorption.
In case it is not electroactive or what you need is selectivity you may modify with recognition elements such as antibodies for developing immunosensors.
It depends on the analyte and the objective of the modification, in case this is needed.
