Abstract:
A novel electrocatalytic sensing strategy was built for uric acid (UA) determination with an exceptionally developed poly(tartrazine)-modified activated pencil graphite electrode (pTRT/aPGE) in human serum and artificial urine. The oxidation signal of UA at 275 mV in pH 7.5 phosphate buffer solution served as the analytical response. Cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the sensing platform, which was able to detect 0.10 μM of UA in the ranges of 0.34-60 and 70-140 μM. The samples of human serum and artificial urine were analyzed by both the pTRT/aPGE and the uricase-modified screen-printed electrode. The results were statistically evaluated and compared with each other within the confidence level of 95%, and no significant difference between the results was found.

In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...
