Abstract

Electrochemically anodized diamond film electrodes were used for selective detection of uric acid (UA) in the presence of high concentrations of ascorbic acid (AA) by differential pulse voltammetry and chronoamperometry. Because the oxidation peak potential for AA is approximately 450 mV more positive than that for UA at anodized diamond electrodes, UA can be determined with very good selectivity. By use of chronoamperometry, linear calibration curves were obtained for UA over the concentration range up to 1 x 10(-6) M in 0.1 M HClO4 solution, with the lowest experimental value measured being 5 x 10(-8) M. This is consistent with the fact that a statistical analysis of the calibration curve yielded a detection limit of 1.5 x 10(-8) M (S/N = 3). AA in less than 20-fold excess does not interfere. The practical analytical utility of the method is demonstrated by the measurement of UA in human urine and serum without any preliminary treatment.
