Many methodologieshave been proposed to perform quantitative analysis of this compound but, to this day, no Raman detection ofclopyralid has been carried out. Here, a novel methodology to quantify clopyralid, based on ElectrochemicalSurface Oxidation-Enhanced Raman Scattering (EC-SOERS), is developed, using disposable silver screen-printedelectrodes as substrate. The optimization of the electrolytic media is carried out, searching for the conditionswhere a maximum Raman enhancement is obtained. Moreover, a study about the effect of various interferingcompounds, which could be present in water, on the clopyralid Raman response is performed. The resultsdemonstrate that the presented methodology allows the determination of clopyralid in the micromolar range intap water without any purification or preconcentration step, requiring few minutes to perform the measurementof each sample.
