    Abstract

    The electrochemical behaviour of dopamine (DA) at a cleaned and alumina polished glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The CV studies revealed that alumina polished GCE (AGCE) shows an enhanced oxidation peak current response with 217mV negative potential shift towards DA than that of cleaned GCE. The differential pulse voltammetry result shows that the AGCE detects the DA in the linear concentration ranges from 0.15 to 25.25μmolL-1. The limit of detection was calculated as 0.046μmolL-1 with a sensitivity of 3.74μAμmolL-1cm-2 for the determination of DA. The fabricated AGCE shows a satisfactory selectivity, practicality along with appreciable repeatability and reproducibility.
