The subject of the invention is a method for determination of
thymoquinone by
square wave voltammetry (SWV), characterized by the steps of preparing the
supporting electrolyte (2), preparing the sample solution for analysis, where the medium (M) in which the sample is dissolved is oil or water or a water-soluble
solvent, then an
electrochemical cell (1) is prepared, which is placed with the
supporting electrolyte (2) and a
magnetic stirrer (6), a
platinum electrode (3) as an
auxiliary electrode, a saturated
silver chloride electrode (4) as a
reference electrode and a
working electrode (5) are introduced successively, where the
electrode reaction of
thymoquinone reduction takes place at the
working electrode surface (5), then the electrodes are connected to the
potentiostat (7), each to a dedicated connection, and then the
supporting electrolyte solution (2) is deoxidized with
argon from the
gas cylinder (8) constituting a gas source connected to the
electrochemical cell (1) with a supply tube (9), then standard and sample voltammograms are recorded at the potential range and parameters of the SWV technique.
