A highly sensitive electrochemical sensor based on arenediazonium tosylates was designed to detect meldonium in urine. The effect of the concentration of ArN2+OTs? arenediazonium tosylate modifier and various substituents was studied. Basic operating parameters for voltammetric meldonium detection were established and the procedure for urine sample preparation was developed. The following values were obtained: limit of detection (LOD) 0.005 mg ? L?1 (P=0.95) and limit of quantification (LOQ) 0.01 mg ? L?1. The relationship between the analytical signal and meldonium concentration in the solution ranging from 0.01 to 400 mg ? L?1 was described by a linear function. The meldonium concentration error did not exceed 18 %. The analysis time for a single urine sample was reduced to 15 minutes.
