A selective and facile voltammetric method based on titanium dioxide nanoparticles and Nafion (Nafion/TiO2 NPs) on the screen-printed electrode (SPE) was proposed for olopatadine determination. Followed by the synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles, various methods, including high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) Raman spectrum, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were utilized to characterize the nanomaterials. Nafion/TiO2 on the screen-printed electrode (NFN/TiO2/SPE) was used to determine olopatadine in concentration ranges of 0.01 to 0.07 and 0.07 to 14.6 µM with a limit of quantification as low as 7.0 nM, via differential pulse voltammetry technique. The NFN/TiO2/SPE offered a high-performance ability to determine olopatadine in the eye drop sample with satisfactory recovery data of 98.2–99.0 %. Also, the developed electrode showed good reproducibility, repeatability, and high selectivity features. The obtained results indicate that NFN/TiO2/SPE could be utilized as an appropriate candidate for electrochemical olopatadine sensing.
