We report here the electrochemical determination of 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) in alkaline aqueous solution by using cobalt(III) porphyrin/Nafion screen printed carbon electrodes (SPCE). Bare SPCE were electro-activated by potential scans ranging from -0.6 to 1.0 V for 10 cycles in pH 7 buffer solution. Then, a Nafion solution containing cobalt porphyrin was dropped onto the pre-actived electrode surfaces. Cyclic voltammetrograms of 5.0 mM 2-ME was studied in various buffer solutions at the modified electrodes. It was observed that the modified electrodes showed good electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of 2-ME. Flow injection amperometry (FIA) was studied in pH 12 buffer solution at the optimized conditions. Good analytical features were obtained, including a wide linear range (1~1000 µM), a low detection limit(0.2 µM) and high sensitivity (0.0093 µAµM-1). In addition, the interferent species, such as uric acid, glutathione and caffeine showed insignificant effect on the detection signals.
