Quantitative analysis of hydrogen peroxide with special emphasis on biosensors
Determination of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) has become essential in pharmaceutical, biological, clinical and environmental studies. The conventional detection methods of H 2 O 2 such as colourimetry, titration, chromatography, spectrophotometry, fluorimetry, chemiluminescence have limited success,...

Summary: | Determination of hydrogen peroxide (H

) has become essential in pharmaceutical, biological, clinical and environmental studies. The conventional detection methods of H

such as colourimetry, titration, chromatography, spectrophotometry, fluorimetry, chemiluminescence have limited success, due to their poor selectivity and sensitivity, long analysis time and lack of long-term reliability and reproducibility. The biosensors overcome these limitations because of their simplicity, rapidity, selectivity and high sensitivity. This review describes the principle, analytic parameters, merits and demerits of various methods of H
