Detection of hydrazine, methylhydrazine, and isoniazid by capillary electrophoresis with a palladium modified microdisk array electrode

A palladium particle-modified carbon fiber microdisk array electrode was designed and employed in capillary electrophoresis for the simultaneous detection of hydrazine, methylhydrazine, and isoniazid. The Pd-modified microdisk electrode had high catalytic ability for hydrazines and exhibited good reproducibility and stability. The response for hydrazine was linear over 3 orders of magnitude with a correlation coefficient of 0.993. The detection limits far hydrazine, methylhydrazine, and isoniazid were 1.2, 2.1, and 6.2 pg, respectively.
