PEDOT/PVC-modified amperometric carbon electrodes for acetylcholine detection

Abstract

We present here new amperometric electrodes for the selective and quantitative detection of acetylcholine. The detection was achieved based on the electrodeposition of a carbon electrode with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) followed by the drop-casting of an ionophore-doped poly(vinyl) chloride (PVC) membrane. This work paves the way for future applied research to study neurological disorders.
