This article reports on a novel microsensor for amperometric measurement of ascorbic acid (AA) under acidic conditions (pH 2) based on a carbon fiber microelectrode (OWE) modified with nickel oxide and ruthenium hexacyanoferrate (NiO-RuHCF). This sensing layer was deposited electrochemically in a two-step procedure involving an initial galvanostatic NiO deposition followed by a potentiodynamic RuHCF deposition from solutions containing the precursor salts Several important parameters were examined to characterize and optimize the NiO-RuHCF sensing layer with respect to its current response to AA by using cyclic voltammetry, and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy methods With the NiO-RuHCF coated CFME, the AA oxidation potential under acidic conditions was shifted to a less positive value for about 0 2 V (E-p of ca 0.23 V vs Ag/AgCl) as compared to a bare CFME, which greatly improves the electrochemical selectivity Using the hydrodynamic amperometry mode, the current vs AA concentration in 001 M HCl, at a selected operating potential of 0 30 V, was found lobe linear over a wide range of 10-1610 mu M (n = 22, r = 0.999) with a calculated limit of detection of 1.0 mu M. The measurement repeatability was satisfactory with a relative standard deviation (r s.d) ranging from 4% to 5% (n = 6). depending on the AA concentration, and with a sensor-to-sensor reproducibility (r s.d) of 6 9% at 100 mu M AA The long-term reproducibility, using the same microsensor for 112 consecutive measurements of 20 mu M AA over 11 h of periodic probing sets over 4 days, was 16.1% r s.d., thus showing very good stability at low AA levels and suitability for use over a prolonged period of time. Moreover, using the proposed microsensor, additionally coated with a protective cellulose acetate membrane, the calibration plot obtained in the extremely complex matrix of real undiluted gastric juice was linear from 10 to 520 mu M (n = 14, r = 0 998) These results demonstrated the unique featuring of the proposed NiO-RuHCF microsensor under acidic conditions with enhanced sensitivity and stability and proved its promising potentiality for direct amperometric probing of AA at physiological levels in real gastric juice environments.
