“…As a contrast on the correctness of the results, the UA concentrations of the same samples were analyzed simultaneously by the HPLC method. The results summarized in Table 1 show that the UA concentrations found in urine samples are fairly close to those reported elsewhere, [19][20][21][22][23] and the results of HPLC. 9 …”

“…[20][21][22] However, the interferences contributed by other electroactive species, such as ascorbic acid (AA), epinephrine (EP) and dopamine (DA) often disturb the proper determination of UA. Also, the reported amperometric biosensor can only achieve a relative high detection limit of about 2.0 µM.…”
A uric acid biosensor based on the direct electron transfer of a hemoglobin-encapsulated chitosan-modified glassy carbon electrode was developed for a highly sensitive and selective analysis in urine samples. The modified electrode was prepared by the encapsulation of hemoglobin and uricase in a chitosan matrix. The hydrogen peroxide produced from the catalytic oxidation of uric acid by uricase was reduced electrocatalytically by immobilized hemoglobin and used to obtain a sensitive amperometric response to uric acid. The linear response of the uric acid concentrations ranged from 2.00 to 30.0 µM with a correlation of 0.9982, the detection limit of uric acid was estimated to be 0.85 µM at a signal/noise ratio of 3. The uric acid biosensor can efficiently exclude the interference of commonly coexisted ascorbic acid, dopamine, epinephrine, etc. The relative standard deviation was under 2.56% (n = 5) for the determination of real samples. This biosensor is satisfactory for the determination of human urine samples compared with the HPLC-UV method.

“…Several biosensors based on uricase had been reported [11][12][13][14]. However, they still have some disadvantages which include sensitivity to O 2 concentrations, significant interference signals by ascorbic acid, etc.…”
“…Table 1 summarizes the work carried out on uric acid biosensors by various workers using different matrices. Various matrices have been utilized for the detection of uric acid such as APTES Bis sulfosuccinimide/ITO [3], gold electrode/polystyrene [4], carbon felt based H 2 O 2 [5], poly N-isopropyl acrylamide MWCNT-Ch/poly(amidoamine)/DNA/gold electrode [6], Polyaniline [7], screen printed electrode [8] and so on. However, the low sensitivity and poor shelf life of the biosensors are major concern.…”
A reagentless uric acid biosensor has been realized using Copper implanted tin oxide thin film (Cu:SnO 2 ) based matrix. The biosensing characteristics of implanted matrix have been studied using the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The prepared matrix (Cu:SnO 2 ), because of the presence of Cu, possess redox properties so that the electron transfer from enzyme to the electrode could be accomplished without using any external mediator in the electrolyte. The developed uric acid biosensor exhibits a high sensitivity of about 0.93 mA/ mM and a linear variation in current response over a concentration range from 0.05 to 1.0 mM of uric acid besides high shelf life (~20 weeks). The Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameter (K m ) is found to be relatively very low (0.12 mM), which indicates the high affinity of the fabricated bioelectrode towards the uric acid (analyte). The results highlight the importance of implanted Cu:SnO 2 thin film as an attractive matrix for the realization of reagentless biosensors towards uric acid.
