Abstract: Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry methods were used to determine Azathioprine (AZP) and Rocuronium (RCR) in biological fluid samples. To enhance the sensitivity of the proposed method, a clay modified carbon paste electrode (CMCPE) was used which showed increased peak currents compared to bare carbon paste electrode (CPE).The linearity was observed in the concentration ranges of 2.2×10-9 to1.2×10-5 M (AZP) and 0.2×10-9 to1.2 ×10-5 (RCR) with detection limits of 2.1×10-9 M (AZP) and 0.4×10-9 M (RCR). From the experimental results, it is found that the proposed method exhibited good repeatability and reproducibility. The present method has been successfully applied for the determination of AZP and RCR in spiked human serum samples and urine samples.
