Abstract
A uricase biosensor was constructed by using bovine serum albumin and glutaraldehyde as cross linker to immobilize uricase on a glassy carbon electrode modified with Nafion and methyl viologen (MV). A linear response of uric acid in serum was observed in a range of 1.0·10−3 to 5.0·10−6 mol/1 and the response time is 25 s. This biosensor has the advantage of high sensitivity, fast response as compared with previous sensors and low interferences.
