Recent Advances in Electroanalysis of Organic Compounds at Carbon Paste Electrodes

Abstract

In this review (with 223 refs), electroanalysis of organic compounds with carbon paste-based electrodes, sensors, and detectors is discussed. The individual methods, covering the period of 2004–2008, are summarized in tables with accompanying commentaries, attention being paid to environmental pollutants, pharmaceutical formulations and drugs, as well as other biologically active organic compounds. Recent achievements and trends are discussed, critically evaluated, and some future prospects are outlined.
