Abstract
For therapeutic purposes, an accurate measurement of dopamine level in situ would be highly desirable. A novel strategy for the selective determination of dopamine concentration based on the diamond-like carbon (DLC) electrode is presented in this abstract. The developed DLC electrode is able to detect 10 μM dopamine and has improved sensitivity compared to platinum. Compared to carbon fiber electrodes, the DLC electrode is more stable because the background current is much lower.
