Abstract: A sensitive molecularly imprinted electrode was fabricated for selective detection of Terbutaline Sulfate (TES) by electropolymerization of o-Phenylenediamine (OPD) on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Electrochemical behaviors of TES on the imprinted electrode (MIP/GCE) were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in K3[Fe(CN)6]solution. The effects of the pH of the buffer,washing time and the amount of species were investigated to acquire the optimum conditions. A linear response between the peak current and the concentration of TES was obtained in the range of 1.52 x 10-8 ~ 1.05 x 10-6 mol/L and the detection limit was 1. 2 x 10-8 mol/L based on the 3σ of blank signals. The electrochemical sensor displayed excellent repeatability and long-term stability. The MIP/GCE has been used to determine TES in Terbutaline sulfate tablets with recoveries between 98. 4% and 107. 9%.
