A new, simple, and fast method to integrate indium tin oxide electrode in an amperometric detection (AD) microchip is introduced. Without the help of photoresist and complicated apparatus, the microchip could be fabricated in most laboratories in a very short time by this method. The experiment indicated that the microchip was stable and had good reproducibility. On this microchip, a new method was established to separate and determine synephrine and hesperidin, which are the main electroactively bioactive ingredients of pericarpium citri reticulatae, by AD. Under the optimal conditions, the two compounds could be completely separated within 5.5 min and the detection limits were 0.13 and 0.57 mu g/mL, respectively. The proposed method has been successfully used to determine synephrine and hesperidin in real pericarpium citri reticulatae sample, and the results show that the proposed method is sensitive, reliable, fast, and economical.
