In this work, a bi-layer modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was prepared by depositing appropriate amounts of multilayered graphene (GR) on the surface of GCE, followed by electrodepositing copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) nano-particles on the graphene layer. The combination of graphene and CuHCF considerably improved the current response of the GCE towards the oxidation of captopril. Studies showed that the best response of the modified electrode could be achieved within neutral pHs. At a fixed potential under hydrodynamic conditions (stirred solutions), the oxidation current is proportional to the captopril concentration and the calibration plots were linear over the concentration ranges of 0.2 to 5.8 mu M and 5.8 to 480 mu M. The detection limit of the method was 0.09 mu M. The modified electrode was used for electrocatalytic determination of captopril in some real samples.
