Electrochemical determination of arsenic in natural waters using carbon fiber ultra-microelectrodes modified with gold nanoparticles.
TL;DR: The analytical capability of the optimized method was demonstrated by determination of arsenic in certified reference materials and by comparison of results with those obtained by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HG-AAS) in the determination of the analyte in tap and well waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrochemical dopamine sensor using a nanoporous gold microelectrode: a proof-of-concept study for the detection of dopamine release by scanning electrochemical microscopy
Henry Steven Catota Sáenz,Henry Steven Catota Sáenz,Lucas Patricio Hernández-Saravia,Lucas Patricio Hernández-Saravia,Jéssica S. G. Selva,Anandhakumar Sukeri,Patricio J. Espinoza-Montero,Mauro Bertotti +7 more
TL;DR: A reproducible electrochemical approach was proposed to fabricate an NPG-microelectrode for DA detection, with enhanced sensitivity and selectivity, and a proof-of-concept detection of dopamine release was demonstrated by using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM).
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate, eco-toxicological characteristics, and treatment processes applied to water polluted with glyphosate: A critical review
Cristina Alejandra Villamar-Ayala,Jeanette Verónica Carrera-Cevallos,Ruben Vasquez-Medrano,Patricio J. Espinoza-Montero +3 more
TL;DR: Glyphosate is the most widely used active ingredient of Glyphosate Based Herbicides (GBHs), and which has environmental mobility towards water by its physicochemical characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
