Özet

Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIP) have demonstrated considerable potential when combined with electrochemical sensors, exhibiting high sensitivity, selectivity and reproducibility levels. The aim of this work is to detect Zivudine (ZDV) in serum samples by means of an interface imprinting technique-based electrochemical sensor. Thus, ZDV was used as a template for the creation of an MIP-based electrochemical sensor, and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used as the determination technique for the molecule. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques were also used to characterize the electrochemical sensor capabilities, which showed a good linearity between 1.0 × 10−10 M and 1.0 × 10−9 M. ZDV was detected with a detection limit of 1.63 × 10−11 M, while the recovery analysis of spiked serum samples demonstrated that the sensor was highly selective.
