Abstract

Carbon and its derivatives, as the high performance material, occupy a special place in electrochemistry due to its-in many ways-extreme properties. Recent trends and advances in the electrochemistry of carbon-based electrodes are reviewed. The varieties of carbon-based electrodes, their basic physicochemical properties and some characteristics are surveyed. Special attention is paid to the possibilities of carbon-based electrodes in electroanalytical investigation in pharmaceutical dosage forms and biological samples using modern electrochemical techniques. This review includes a summary of the rules that must be considered for drug analysis from its dosage forms and biological samples using carbon-based electrodes. The present review is the first comprehensive report on the heterogeneous and homogeneous carbon electrodes, and an addition to many excellent reviews on carbon electrodes in the literature. This review summarizes some of the recent developments and applications of carbon-based electrodes for drug compounds in their dosage forms and in biological samples in the period from 1996 till 2006. Also some further selected designs (screen-printed; carbon nanotubes, etc.) and applications have been discussed.
