Voltammetric determination of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) in drugs using a glassy carbon electrode modified with chromium(III) hexacyanoferrate(II)

A CrIII hexacyanoferrate(II) (CrHCF)-modified glassy carbon electrode was used to determine pyridoxine (vitamin B6) in three drugs by cyclic voltammetry. The influence of several parameters on the voltammetric electrode response was analyzed. The linear range found was of 1.33 × 10-6 mol L-1 to 1.32...

Description
Summary:A CrIII hexacyanoferrate(II) (CrHCF)-modified glassy carbon electrode was used to determine pyridoxine (vitamin B6) in three drugs by cyclic voltammetry. The influence of several parameters on the voltammetric electrode response was analyzed. The linear range found was of 1.33 × 10-6 mol L-1 to 1.32 × 10-5 mol L-1 of vitamin, with r = 0.9990 and relative standard deviation of 4.2%. The limits of detection and quantification were 3.46 × 10-7 mol L-1 and 1.05 × 10-6 mol L-1, respectively. The voltammetric proposed method for determination of vitamin B6 presented good accuracy and the experimental results demonstrated that the CrHCF-modified glassy carbon electrode has a large potential for the analysis of pyridoxine in real samples. Furthermore, it has the advantages of a fast response, a low detection limit, low cost, and simple development and application.
