G. Hussain et al., DETERMINATION OF URIC-ACID AND XANTHINE HYPOXANTHINE IN BLOOD USING IMMOBILIZED ENZYMES IN FLOW-INJECTION SYSTEM, Journal of the Chemical Society of Pakistan, 17(2), 1995, pp. 109-112
A flow injection system containing on-line immobilized enzyme mini-col
umns of urate oxidase and xanthine oxidase/urate oxidase for the deter
mination of uric acid and xanthine/hypoxanthine is described. For the
determination of xanthine and hypoxanthine, a xanthine oxidase column
was incorporated on-line prior to the mate oxidase column. The results
of the uric acid analysis in serum were compared with the commercial
kit method in use in hospitals with a correlation coefficient of 0.99
and r.s.d. of 1% (n = 6). The method is fast and the cost per analysis
is greatly reduced.
