Ty. You et al., End-column amperometric detection of 5-fluorouracil by capillary zone electrophoresis with a carbon fiber microelectrode, ANAL LETTER, 32(6), 1999, pp. 1109-1119
A rapid and sensitive detection method for the determination of 5-fluoroura
cil(5-FU) in real samples such as human urine and bovine serum albumin (BSA
) was described. A carbon fiber microdisk electrode was used to perform end
-column amperometric detection in capillary zone electrophoresis. The detec
tion limit was as low as 2.5x10(-7) M and the wider linear range for the co
ncentration was between 5x10(-6) and 1x10(-4) M with a correlation coeffici
ent of 0.995.
