Rapid Determination of 5-Nitrofuran Ring Antibiotics in Complex Samples Using a Boron-Doped Diamond Electrode and Differential Pulse Voltammetry

A rapid, simple, and precise electrochemical method was developed for the determination of the total content of antibiotics containing a 5-nitrofuran ring with antibacterial activity including furazolidone, nitrofurazone, nitrofurantoin, and furaltadone in several samples. Boron-doped diamond electrode was used as the working electrode. The electrochemical properties of these compounds were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry. A differential pulse...
