Abstract
Sodium alpha olefin sulphonate (SAOS) was used for the modification of carbon paste electrode (CPE) to determine the electrochemical behavior of folic acid (FA) in 0.2M phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH 7.4 with the scan rate of 50 mVs-1. The effects of scan rate, concentration and simultaneous determination of FA at modified carbon paste electrode (MCPE) were studied. The effect of interference of dopamine was carried out and real sample analysis of FA was studied at MCPE. From the scan rate and concentration shows that, the overall electrode process was found to be diffusion-controlled at SAOSMCPE and detection limit was found to be 28.8 μM. The modified electrode (SAOSMCPE) exhibits good electrocatalytic activity towards the determination of folic acid when compared to BCPE. The same method can also be applied for other drug .
