Glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with carbon nanotubes (CNT) as a high sensitive sensor for using in the electro-analysis of RIF in blood medium. It was found that oxidation and reduction current peaks of RIF in blood medium were at the potential of 0.5 and -0.5 V, respectively. Different concentrations, pH, scan rates, reliability and stability of RIF in blood medium were studied. The diffusion coefficient of oxidation and reduction was determined using the Randles-Seveik equation. The result showed the average value of oxidation and reduction were 2.66 × 10-5 and 8.72 × 10-5 cm2s-1, respectively. UR - https://doi.org/10.5101/nbe.v11i2.p150-156 DO - 10.5101/nbe.v11i2.p150-156
