The electrocatalytic oxidation of octopamine and tyramine is individually investigated at the surface of the ERGO modified glassy carbon electrode (ERGO\/GCE) by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Several essential factors including the deposition cycle of reduced graphene oxide nanosheets and the pH of the running buffer were investigated in order to determine the optimum conditions. Furthermore, the sensor was applied to the quantification of octopamine and tyramine by DPV in the concentration ranges from 0.5 to 40 \u03bcM and 0.1 to 25 \u03bcM, respectively. In addition, the limits of detection of octopamine and tyramine were calculated to be 0.1 \u03bcM and 0.03 \u03bcM (S\/N = 3), respectively. The sensor showed good reproducibility, selectivity and stability. Finally, the sensor successfully detected octopamine and tyramine in commercially available beer with satisfactory recovery ranges which were 98.5%\u2013104.7% and 102.2%\u2013103.1%, respectively. These results indicate the ERGO\/GCE based sensor is suitable for the detection of octopamine and tyramine.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s16040535","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,13]],"date-time":"2016-04-13T10:08:06Z","timestamp":1460542086000},"page":"535","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["An Easily Fabricated Electrochemical Sensor Based on a Graphene-Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode for Determination of Octopamine and Tyramine"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2744-478X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Bioengineering and Sensing Technology, University of Science and Technology, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Meiqin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Bioengineering and Sensing Technology, University of Science and Technology, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qianhui","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Bioengineering and Sensing Technology, University of Science and Technology, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yongjie","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Bioengineering and Sensing Technology, University of Science and Technology, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lijuan","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Bioengineering and Sensing Technology, University of Science and Technology, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Khalid","family":"Al-Ghanim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Zoology, College of Science, P.
