Popis: An adsorptive stripping voltammetric method for the determination of malachite green in aquaculture water has been developed. Initial studies were made using the cyclic voltammetry of malachite green at a glassy carbon electrode in 0.1 M phosphate buffer from pH 2 to 10. The redox behavior observed for malachite green was verified by the characterization of malachite green and its reduction product, leucomalachite green. Furthermore, leucomalachite green was found not to interfere with the determination of malachite green at pH 7.4, the optimum pH for malachite green determination. As a result, further studies were performed using adsorptive stripping voltammetry for the determination of malachite green in aquaculture water. The voltammetric waveform, accumulation potential, and accumulation time were optimized. The calibration plot was linear from 0.2 µM to 1.2 µM for malachite green using differential pulse voltammetry with a sensitivity of 0.8311 µA/µM. Using the method of multiple standard add...
