Abstract
A method for the determination of carbendazim (MBC) by anodic stripping voltammetry using a carbon fiber ultramicroelectrode was developed. The ultramicroelectrode was made in our laboratory and its electrochemical behavior was characterized by measuring the electrochemical response with a solution of potassium ferricyanide. The optimum parameters used for the determination of MBC are the following: 0.05 M phosphate buffer at pH 2.0 as supporting electrolyte; a scan rate of v = 10.00 V s 1 and an accumulation potential of Eac = 0.00 V. The MBC was determined in a soil sample with the method proposed and the results found were comparable to those obtained by HPLC.
