Phthalocyanines are used as modifiers for carbon paste electrodes (CPE) for their attributes of stability to heat, light and a variety of chemical environments, their binding abilities and improvement in signal detection. Modified carbon paste electrodes were constructed with eight percent Copper (II) phthalocyanine (Cu (II) Pc) for the detection of catecholamines in tris buffer system by Cyclic Voltammetery. Platinum, and non modified CPEs were compared to Cu (II) Pc modified CPEs for sensitivity and reduced over potentials.
