8. A method of detecting oxytocin using a voltammetric sensor, the voltammetric sensor comprising a gold electrode, the gold electrode comprising lead oxide (PbO) nanoparticles, the method of detecting oxytocin comprising the steps of:
positioning a liquid droplet, comprising solvent and analyte, to be tested on a sensing area of the gold electrode;
receiving a voltammetric response from the electrode; and
analysing the voltammetric response to determine if oxytocin is present in the liquid droplet.
