Abstract

Triclosan (TCS), a bacteriostatic detected in water bodies, have inauspicious effects in human and biota. Consequently, there is a critical need of monitoring these type of compounds in aqueous matrices. In this sense, sensors, based on polyethyleneimine and polysodium 4-styrenesulfonate layer-by-layer thin-films adsorbed on supports with gold interdigitated electrodes deposited, were developed. The aim was analyze the sensitivity of discrimination of TCS (10−15 M to 10−5 M) in deionized water, Luso® and in an effluent, by measuring the impedance spectra. LbL films can distinguish TCS concentrations in EF, while in LW was achieved an acceptable sensibility when interdigitated electrodes without films were used.
