In this study the electrochemical behavior of ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) at the surface of glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) modified by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) functionalized with Fe3+ complex was investigated. The voltammetric studies using the modified electrode showed two well-resolved anodic peaks for AA and UA with a potential difference of similar to 0.4 V, revealing the possibility of the simultaneous electrochemical detection of these compounds. First, the electrochemical behavior of ferric/ferrous at Fe3+ complex/MWNTs/nafion (FeCMN) modified electrode was studied. The results showed an adsorption-controlled reaction at the modified electrode. Then, the behavior of ascorbic acid and uric acid at the modified electrode was investigated. The optimum analytical conditions were sought. Linear calibration plots were obtained over the range of 4.0 to 600 mu mol l(-1) and 0.3 to 490 mu mol l(-1) with detection limits (3r) of 2.57 mu mol l(-1) and 0.137 mu mol l(-1) for AA and UA, respectively. The electrode with the best conditions was applied for selective determination of AA and UA in biological matrices.
