Killard, The application of conducting polymer nanopar- ticle electrodes to the sensing of ascorbic acid, Analy- tica Chimica Acta, 609 (2008) 37).or diabetes (A. Ambrosi, A. Morrin, M.R. Smyth, A.J. Killard, The application of conducting polymer nanoparticle electrodes to the sensing of ascorbic acid, Analytical Chimica Acta, 609 (2008) 37).
Tradicionalmente se han utilizado métodos espectroscópi- cos, cromatográficos y electroquímicos para la detección de ácido ascórbico. Estas últimas técnicas se caracterizan por su sencillez, rapidez y portabilidad, lo que hace posible además la detección in situ del analito de interés (C.A. Fuenmayor, S. Benedetti, A. Pellicano, M.S. Cosio, S. Mannino, Direct In Situ Determination of Ascorbic Acid in Fruits by Screen-Printed Carbon Electrodes Modified with Nylon-6 Nanofibers, Electro- analysis, 26 (2014) 704). Sin embargo, enla detección de ácido ascórbico especialmente en matrices complejas como productos alimentarios o muestras biológicas, se emplean potenciales de trabajo relativamente altos para que se produzca la oxidación electroquímica, lo que se asocia con una pobre selectividad, y desactivación del electrodo de trabajo causado principalmente por la acumulación de productos de reacción en la superficie del electrodo, lo que produce un deterioro progresivo de la sensibilidad del electrodo (P.R. Roy, M.S. Saha, T. Okajima, T. Ohsaka, Electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid by [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- redox couple electrostatically trapped in cationic N,N-dimethylaniline polymer film electropolyme- rized on diamond electrode, Electrochimica Acta, 51 (2006) 4447) (C.A. Fuenmayor, S. Benedetti, A. Pelli- cano, M.S. Cosio, S. Mannino, Direct In Situ Determination of Ascorbic Acid in Fruits by Screen-Printed Carbon Electrodes Modified with Nylon-6 Nanofibers, Electro- analysis, 26 (2014) 704.Traditionally, spectroscopic, chromatographic and electrochemical methods have been used for the detection of ascorbic acid. The latter techniques are characterized by their simplicity, speed and portability, which also makes possible the detection in situ of the analyte of interest (CA Fuenmayor, S. Benedetti, A. Pellicano, MS Cosio, S. Mannino, Direct In Situ Determination of Ascorbic Acid in Fruits by Screen-Printed Carbon Electrodes Modified with Nylon-6 Nanofibers, Electro- analysis, 26 (2014) 704). However, in the detection of ascorbic acid especially in complex matrices such as food products or biological samples, relatively high working potentials are used for electrochemical oxidation to occur, which is associated with poor selectivity, and deactivation of the working electrode caused mainly due to the accumulation of reaction products on the electrode surface, which causes a progressive deterioration of the electrode sensitivity (PR Roy, MS Saha, T. Okajima, T. Ohsaka, Electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid by [Fe (CN ) 6] 3- / 4- redox couple electrostatically trapped in cationic N, N-dimethylaniline polymer film electropolymerized on diamond electrode, Electrochimica Acta, 51 (2006) 4447) (CA Fuenmayor, S. Benedetti, A. Pelli- cano , MS Cosio, S. Mannino, Direct In Situ Determination of Ascorbic Acid in Fruits by Screen-Printed Carbon Electrodes Modified with Nylon-6 Nanofibers, Electro- analysis, 26 (2014) 704

La técnica de voltamperometria diferencial de impulsos consiste en la aplicación de un barrido de potencial al sistema electródico, sobre el que superpone, de forma periódica, una serie de impulsos de potencial. La señal que se registra es la diferencia de intensidad después y antes de aplicar el impulso frente al potencial de base. Esta medida diferencial de corriente elimina las intensidades capacitivas y el ruido de fondo, aumentando la sensibilidad del análisis.The differential pulse voltammetry technique consists in the application of a potential sweep to the electrode system, over which it periodically superimposes a series of potential impulses. The signal that is recorded is the difference in intensity after and before applying the pulse against the base potential. This differential current measurement eliminates capacitive intensities and background noise, increasing the sensitivity of the analysis.
En los sistemas electródicos serigrafiados, el electrodo de referencia suele estar constituido por una pasta conductora a base de Ag, por lo que no actúa como una referencia verdadera sino como una pseudoreferencia.In screen-printed electrode systems, the reference electrode is usually made up of a conductive paste based on Ag, so it does not act as a true reference but as a pseudo-reference.
Los métodos electroquimicos indicados anteriormente para la determinación de ácido ascórbico son poco selectivos y no permiten la cuantificación de este compuesto en matrices complejas. La presente invención solventa las desventajas comentadas, y propone un dispositivo que trabaja a un potencial más bajo evitando las interferencias de otros compuestos en muestras complejas. El dispositivo presenta gran simplicidad, bajo coste y corto tiempo de análisis, comparado con el resto de las técnicas habitualmente utilizadas para su determinación, por lo que supone un gran avance en su empleo para esta determinación en distintos tipos de muestras como por ejemplo muestras biológicas.The electrochemical methods indicated above for the determination of ascorbic acid are poorly selective and do not allow quantification of this compound in complex matrices. The present invention solves the aforementioned disadvantages, and proposes a device that works at a lower potential avoiding the interference of other compounds in complex samples. The device has great simplicity, low cost and short analysis time, compared to the rest of the techniques commonly used for its determination, so it is a great advance in its use for this determination in different types of samples such as biological samples .
