Electroanalytical determination of progesterone hormone using boron-doped diamond electrode

In this thesis, electrochemical properties of Progesterone hormone Boron doped diamond (BDD) on electrode surface were investigated in strongly acidic environment (HClO4 and H2SO4). A fast, sensitive, selective and simple electroanalytical method was developed for cathodically pre-treated BDD electrodes. A good linear analytical curve in the concentration range of 10 μM to 100 μM at a voltage value of +1.51 V (vs. Ag / AgCl) (after 120 s deposition at +0.1 V voltage) in 0.5 M HClO4 using the square wave stripping technique for the quantification of progesterone hormone obtained. The observability limit is 0.012 µM(3.77 µg L-1); The relative standard deviation value (RSD) for the concentration of 3.1 µM (n = 11) was calculated to be 4.87%. In addition, the developed voltammetric method has been successfully applied to drug and blood serum.
