Sensing device for detecting artemisinin in samples selected from plant extract, enriched fraction, herbal formulation, cosmetic formulation or drug formulation, comprises support device and pyrolytic graphite containing carbon paste
NOVELTY – The sensing device comprises a support device (a) and pyrolytic graphite (b) containing carbon paste with immobilized porphyrin on silica gel modified with titanium oxide (c). A metal spring (d) and an upper metal (e) for electrical and mechanical contact are also provided. USE – Sensing device for detecting artemisinin in samples selected from plant extract, an enriched fraction, herbal formulation, a cosmetic formulation or a drug formulation (all claimed). ADVANTAGE – The sensing device comprises a support device and a pyrolytic graphite containing carbon paste with immobilized porphyrin on silica gel, and hence ensures easy operability and simple and efficient detection of different samples. DETAILED DESCRIPTION – An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for manufacturing sensing device. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) – The drawing shows a schematic view of the sensing device. Support device (a) Pyrolytic graphite (b) Titanium oxide (c) Metal spring (d) Upper metal (e)
