The behavior of the Fe(II)/(III) redox system at a Au microelectrode ensemble (Au‐MEE) based on a solid composite by means of direct and cyclic voltammetric analysis (VA) is reported. With a simple electrode activation and sample preparation, the influence of dissolved organic substances was eliminated, providing highly sensitive results. The analytical signal was based on the maximum cathodic current ( I ) of the first derivative (d I /d E ), and iron determination within the 0.002–0.04 mg L −1 range was studied. A sensitive LOD (3 σ ) value of 0.7 µg L −1 for total iron concentration was calculated; total iron determination in different waters was shown.
