The electrochemical behavior of tryptophan was studied at the carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) modified with gold nanoparticle (GNP). This electrode has a stable and excellent response toward tryptophan. Under optimum experimental conditions, the calibration curve was linear in the tryptophan concentration range of 5 to 900 µM with an excellent correlation coefficient (0.995). The experimental limit of detection was 4 µM. Contrary to many other electrodes, the oxidation of tryptophan on GNP/CILE does not result in electrode fouling. GNP/CILE has been effectively applied to the determination of tryptophan in composite amino acid injection.
