Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave stripping voltammetry (SW) analysis of hexahydro-1,3,5- trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) using the double-stranded ds calf thymus (DNA) mixed in carbon nanotube paste electrode (PE) were provided. The optimum analytical conditions were determined and the peak potential was 0.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The linear working ranges of CV (50-75 ug/L) and SW (5-80 ng/L) were obtained. The precisions of RSD in the 10 ug/L was 0.086% (n=15) and the detection limit was 0.65 ng/L (2.92×10−12 M) (S/N=3) with 300 s adsorption time at the optimum condition. The method was used to determine the presence of explosive chemicals in contaminated soil samples.
