Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used as an immobilization matrix to incorporate an Fe (III)-Schiff base complex as an electron-transfer mediator onto a glassy carbon electrode surface. First, the preheated glassy carbon was subjected to abrasive immobilization of MWCNTs by gently rubbing the electrode surface on filter paper supporting the carbon nanotubes. Second. the electrode surface was modified by casting 100 mu L of an Fe (III)-complex solution (0.01 M in ACN). The cyclic voltammograms of the modified electrode in an aqueous solution displayed a pair of well-defined, stable and nearly reversible reductive oxidation redox systems with surface confined characteristics. Combinations of unique electronic and electrocatalytic properties of MWCNTs and Fe (III)-Schiff base complexes resulted in a remarkable synergistic augmentation of the response. The electrochemical behavior and stability of the modified electrode in aqueous solutions at pH 1-9 were characterized by cyclic voltammetry. The apparent electron transfer rate constant (K-s) and transfer coefficient (a) were determined by cyclic voltammetry and were approximately 7 s(-1) and 0.55, respectively. The modified electrodes showed excellent catalytic activity towards the oxidation of amino acids at an unusually positive potential in acidic solution. They also displayed inherent stability at a wide pH range, fast response time, high sensitivity. low detection limit and had a remarkably positive potential oxidation of amino acids that decreased the effect of interferences in analysis. The linear concentration range, limits of detection (LOD), limits of quantization (LOQ) and relative standard deviation of the proposed sensor for the amino acid detection were 1-55.000, 1.10-13.70, 2.79-27.14 and 1.30-5.11, respectively.
