The use of fast-scan cyclic voltammetry is explored as an analytical technique for the detection of biogenic amines. Cyclic voltammograms were recorded at a scan rate of 200 V s-1 at carbon-fiber electrodes with and without coating of a perfluorinated ion-exchange material. Voltammograms were recorded in a flow injection apparatus, and background subtraction was used to remove the residual current. Voltammograms for the oxidation of 4-methylcatechol at uncoated electrodes had the peak amplitude expected for the previously published oxidation mechanism for catechols at intermediate pH. In contrast, voltammograms for dopamine, dihydroxybenzylamine, and norepinephrine showed much larger peak currents. Semiintegration of these voltammograms gives a peak-shaped curve indicative of adsorption. At coated electrodes, the voltammograms for anionic species are greatly attenuated, while for the biogenic amines the peak currents are larger than at uncoated electrodes. Fast-scan voltammetry is shown to be particularly advantageous for the determination of 5-hydroxytryptamine. The short electrolysis time prevents the oxidation products from forming an insulating film on the electrode. Although adsorption of these compounds occurs in their reduced form, this feature is advantageous since it increases the signal-to-noise ratio. Submicromolar detection limits can be achieved because of the preconcentration on the electrode surface.
