Abstract
Thiocholesterol forms a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on polycrystalline gold, offering a defect-rich hydrophobic surface. This SAM gold electrode has been exploited in batch and flow injection analysis (FIA) as it allows selective detection of hydrophobic analytes such as phenothiazines in presence of potentially interfering species such as ascorbic acid. Several phenothiazines have been investigated. Quantification has been achieved in FIA, in a broad linear concentration range: 0.5–100 μM. The stability of the modified electrode allows more than 500 sample injections in FIA.
