title: Voltammetric behavior and determination of 17 beta-estradiol at multi-wall carbon nanotube-Nafion modified glassy carbon electrode.
abstract: For the purpose of low cost and sensitive electrochemical detection of 17 beta-estradiol (E2), a multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT)-Nafion modified electrode was fabricated. The MWNT modified electrode shows enhancement for the anodic peak current of E2 compared with the value obtained using a bare electrode. The anodic peak current measured by square wave voltammetry after 5 min open-circuit accumulation was proportional to the concentration of E2 over the range of 2.5 x 10(-7) to 10 10(-6) M, and a detection limit of 1 x 10(-8) M was obtained.
