A modified carbon electrode with hydroxyapatite (HAp) and Bismuth (II) was developed to detect Pb2+ concentration in blood sera from healthy persons. Square wave anodic stripping voltammetry was used for the detection of Pb2+ by the interacting capability of the Bi film and HAp on the electrode surface with the optimised parameters of deposition time 240sec, deposition potential �1.0 V in 0.1M acetate buffer followed by square wave potential scan from -1.0 V to -0.2V. Bi film deposited HAp-CME showed attractive electrochemical characteristics with high sensitivity for Pb2+. Clear current peaks for different Pb2+ concentrations were observed around -0.55V, with favourable signal-to-background ratio, and comparatively free from oxygen interferences. © 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd date: 2014 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Ajab, H. and Khan, A.A.A. and Dennis, J.O. and Abdullah, M.A. (2014) Bismuth-modified hydroxyapatite carbon electrode for heavy metal detection in biomatrices.
