Abstract: A new voltammetric sensor for piroxicam measurement is introduced. A piroxicam-selective molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) and a non-imprinted polymer (NIP) were synthesized in a non-covalent approach using methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross-linking monomer via a free radical polymerization and then was used for carbon paste (CP) electrode preparation. The MIP, embedded in the carbon paste electrode, functioned as a selective recognition element and pre-concentrator agent for piroxicam determination. The prepared electrode was used for piroxicam measurement via a three-step procedure including analyte extraction in the electrode, electrode washing and electrochemical measurement of piroxicam. The MIP-CP electrode showed good recognition ability in comparison to NIP-CP. Some parameters affecting sensor response were optimized. Under optimum conditions the oxidation peak current was proportional to piroxicam concentration over the range 2-190 and 190-2500 nM. The detection limit was found to be 0.5 nM. This sensor has been successfully applied for the determination of piroxicam in pharmaceutical formulations and serum samples
