The electrochemical reduction of ornidazole was studied at a glassy carbon electrode activated by applying a new pretreatment. The dependence of intensities of currents and potentials on pH, concentration, scan rate, nature of the solvent (aqueous media, mixed aqueous-organic systems) and surfactant was investigated. Linear calibration plots were obtained over the concentration ranges 4 x 10-6-6 x 10-4 and 6 x 10-6-6 x 10-4 mol l- 1 in 0.2 M H2SO4 and acetate buffer (pH 4.7), respectively. The method was applied to the determination of ornidazole indifferent drug formulations.
