Abstract
The detection of organic pollutants in water was deemed critical for safeguarding aquatic ecosystems, maintaining human health, and upholding water quality standards. In this study, a novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was proposed for the sensitive detection of hydroquinone (HQ) in lake water, utilizing a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with silver/luminol-functionalized carbon microspheres (GCE/CM@Ag/Lu). Due to the consumption of H2O2 by HQ, the ECL signal was attenuated, enabling the quantitative detection of HQ. Under optimized conditions, the linear range for HQ ranged from 1.0 × 10−4–1.0 × 10−10 mol L−1, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 3.3 × 10−11 mol L−1 (S/N = 3). The proposed ECL sensor shows promising potential to open new avenues for water quality assessment.
期刊介绍:
The journal''s title Analytical Biochemistry: Methods in the Biological Sciences declares its broad scope: methods for the basic biological sciences that include biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology, proteomics, immunology, bioinformatics and wherever the frontiers of research take the field.
The emphasis is on methods from the strictly analytical to the more preparative that would include novel approaches to protein purification as well as improvements in cell and organ culture. The actual techniques are equally inclusive ranging from aptamers to zymology.
The journal has been particularly active in:
-Analytical techniques for biological molecules-
Aptamer selection and utilization-
Biosensors-
Chromatography-
Cloning, sequencing and mutagenesis-
Electrochemical methods-
Electrophoresis-
Enzyme characterization methods-
Immunological approaches-
Mass spectrometry of proteins and nucleic acids-
Metabolomics-
Nano level techniques-
Optical spectroscopy in all its forms.
The journal is reluctant to include most drug and strictly clinical studies as there are more suitable publication platforms for these types of papers.
