This paper presents an electrochemical behavior study and quantification of fluoroquinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin using boron-doped diamond electrode. Ciprofloxacin provides a diffusion-driven electrode reaction with an irreversible and poorly defined peak at +1.6 V vs. Ag/AgCl electrode in the presence of Britton-Robinson buffer solution pH 4. Applying differential pulse voltammetry (modulation amplitude of 60 mV, modulation time of 50 ms), the calibration curve with high linearity (R2 = 0.997) was obtained within the concentration range of (0.74 – 20.0) × 10−6 mol L−1 with the detection limit of 6.0 × 10−7 mol L−1 and repeatability expressed by relative standard deviation of 2.7 % (for 20 measurements).
