Rifampicin (RIF) compound was analyzed by electrochemical study using cyclic voltammetric method to characterize the electrochemical properties in blood medium. Glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with carbon nanotubes (CNT) as a high sensitive sensor for using in the electro-analysis of RIF in blood medium. It was found that oxidation and reduction current peaks of RIF in blood medium were at the potential of 0.5 and -0.5 V, respectively. Different concentrations, pH, scan rates, reliability and stability of RIF in blood medium were studied. The diffusion coefficient of oxidation and reduction was determined using the Randles-Seveik equation. The result showed the average value of oxidation and reduction were 2.66 × 10-5 and 8.72 × 10-5 cm2s-1, respectively.

Sky honey (SH), a kind of sweet was studied to identify its uses in human lives and its applications in different areas. Electrochemical analysis by cyclic voltammetry was used to characterize SH in aqueous solution. Glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with carbon nanotube (CNT), i.e. CNT/GCE by mechanical attachment method via cyclic voltammetric technique to study the oxidation-reduction current peaks of SH at different electrolytes, concentrations, scan rates, pH and temperatures. Moreover, the study included the reliability and stability of CNT on the GCE surface.

Saffron in aqueous solution was studied via electrochemical analysis with KCl as a supporting electrolyte using cyclic voltammetric technique to determine the redox current peaks at different concentration, pH and scan rate (SR). It was found that an oxidation current peak appeared at potential +268 mV and two reduction current peaks at −282 and −850 mV. The oxidation current peak of saffron disappeared in alkaline medium at pH = 12. An enhancement was observed in acidic medium at pH = 6. Based on Randel equations and by using different scan rates, the diffusion coefficient (Df) for oxidation-reduction current peaks of saffron in KCl solution was determined with nearly equal values as of 1.87×10−5 and 1.12×10−5 cm2/s, respectively. The results indicate a low detection limit of the different concentrations of saffron in KCl solution as determined from the calibration graph, and a high reliability revealed by the relative standard deviation (RSD). Stability of the GCE for oxidation-reduction current peaks was recorded as ± 7.12% and ± 1.04%, respectively.

A new modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with grafted polymer (GP)/SiO2 nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) were prepared using mechanical attachment method to produce a new sensor in cyclic voltammetric technique. The new working electrode GP/SiO2 NPs/GCE was characterized by a standard solution of 1 mM K4[Fe(CN)6] with 1 M K2HPO4 as an electrolyte to study the redox current peaks of FeⅡ/FeⅢ ions at different concentrations such as scan rate, pH, determination of diffusion coefficient (Df), reliability and stability of the modified GCE. It was found that the new modified electrode enhanced the redox current peaks of FeⅡ/FeⅢ from 12 μA to 20 μA and -5 μA to -15 μA for oxidation and reduction peaks in GCE, repectevely. So, the current ratio (Ipa/Ipc) for the new modified electrode was 1, and the potential peak separation (ΔEpa-c) was 100 mV, which indicated good electrochemical properties as an irreversible electrode and heterogeneous reaction. Good reliability and stability of modified GCE was obseved with low detection limit. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis of the nano-deposit was also studied.

Gadolinium compounds have been used as a common contrast media in MRI technique; however, they have oxidation-reduction current peaks in blood medium. To propose a solution for this problem, the alternative of contrast media in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was studied by electrochemical method using cyclic voltammetric technique. Magnesium compound was chosen such as MgCl2 which has a good electrochemical properties especially in blood medium. It was found that Mg (Ⅱ) ions in blood medium acted as an antioxidative reagent. The results of this study focused on the effect of magnesium chloride ions in normal saline, KCl solution and blood medium in presence with ascorbic acid (AA) and folic acid (FA) and understanding the redox current peaks of Mg (Ⅱ) ions in these conditions. We obtained good results by using MgCl2 solution as an alternative contrast medium in MRI technique instead of using of gadolinium compounds.

Electrochemical of redox current peaks of lead sulphate PbSO4 was studied in blood medium in present of different reagents such as ascorbic acid (AA), glucose, urea, and uric acid using cyclic voltammetric technique at glassy carbon electrode (GCE). It was found that Pb(Ⅱ) ions in aqueous electrolyte (0.1 M KCl) have oxidation current peak at -540 mV and reduction current peak at -600 mV. But, it was different electrochemical properties of the redox current peaks of Pb(Ⅱ) ions in blood medium, the reduction current peak was disappearing and the oxidation current peak was enhanced. Also, in the different reagents (glucose, AA, urea and uric acid) causes an enhancement of the oxidation current peak and reducing of the reduction current peak or disappearing. It means that the reagents (glucose, AA, urea and uric acid) were oxidative effective in the blood component for the lead ions in the damage the blood cells.
