Sensor 1 was fabricated using phosphomolybdic acid, Sensor 2 used phosphotungestic acid and sensor 3 used the sodium tetraphenyl borate. Linear responses of CT were obtained within the concentration ranges of 1�10?6 to 1�10?2 mol L-1 for sensor 1 and 2 and 1�10?5 to 1�10?2 mol L-1 for sensor 3 over the pH range of 3.0�6.0. The selectivity coefficients of the developed sensors indicated excellent selectivity for CT. The proposed sensors displayed useful analytical characteristics for the determination of CT in bulk powder, pharmaceutical formulation, and in the presence of its degradation products and thus could be used for stability-indicating methods. The method was validated according to ICH guidelines. Statistical comparison between the results from the proposed method and the results from the reference HPLC method showed no significant difference regarding accuracy and precision. � 2015 by CEE (Center of Excellence in Electrochemistry).EnglishCation exchangerCitalopram HydrobromideDegradation productsIon selective electrodePVCArticlehttps://doi.org/
