Publication date: January 2020Source: Materials Science and Engineering: C, Volume 106Author(s): Gholamreza Bahrami, Hosna Ehzari, Shokouh Mirzabeigy, Bahar Mohammadi, Elham ArkanAbstractA sensitive electrochemical sensor for detection of morphine (MPH) at the surface of electrode modified with electrospun magnetic nanofibers (MNFs) was prepared. The features of constructed sensor were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X ray diffraction (XRD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The modified sensor was used for MPH analysis using of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) method. The calibration curve has been composed of a linear portion in the concentration range of 0.0033–55 μM and 55–245 μM and the detection limit was 1.9 nM. The reproducibility of the peak current with a reliable relative standard deviation (RSD) value was acquired. Based on the results, the fabricated sensor has good stability and reproducibility, as well as the sensitive and selective analysis of MPH in human serum samples as real samples had effectively been feasible. The results of the actual sample were measured by HPLC procedure, and the results were compared with the results of the electrochemical method and corroborated them.Graphical abstractA sensitive electrochemical detection of morphine (MPH) was investigated at the designed sensor modified with electrospun magnetic nanofibers (MNFs) at the carbon paste electrode (CPE).
