  • Abstract
    An amperometric immunosensor based on graphite paste (graphite powder and paraffin oil) has been constructed for the assay of azidothymidine (AZT). The graphite paste is impregnated with anti-AZT. The immunosensor can be reliably used for the assay of AZT in its pharmaceutical formulation. The potential used for AZT assay was 435 mV vs Ag/AgCl electrode. The surface of the immunosensor can be regenerated by simply polishing, obtaining fresh immunocomposite ready to be used in a new assay. Due to its reliability, the immunosensor was successfully used as a detector in a sequential injection analysis system, and gave reliable results for on-line assay of AZT purity in raw material and AZT contents in pharmaceutical formulations.
