Arsenic, one of the most abundant mineral and also one to the most toxic compounds. Due to its high toxicity sensitive analytical methods are highly important, taking into account that the admitted level is in the range of µg L-1. A novel and easy to use platform for As(III) detection from water samples is proposed, based on gold and platinum bi metallic nanoparticles and a conductive polymer (polyaniline). The electrochemical detection was achieved after optimization of cathodic pre-concentration and stripping parameters by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry at modified screen-printed carbon-based electrochemical cells, proving its applicability for disposable and cost-effective in situ analysis of arsenic.
