SIMULTANEOUS ELECTROCHEMICAL DETECTION OF URIC ACID AND ASCORBIC ACID AT A SILVER DOPED POLY(GLUTAMIC ACID) MODIFIED GLASSY CARBON ELECTRODE

摘要

In this paper, the silver doped poly (L-glutamic acid) modified glassy carbon electrode (PLG-Ag/GCE) was fabricated through an electrochemical immobilization. The modified electrode was used for simultaneous deteimination of uric acid (UA) and ascorbic acid (AA) in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solutions (PBS). The cyclic voltammetric signals of UA and AA were well separated with a potential difference of 396 mV in pH 3.0 phosphate buffer solutions. The linear calibration curves were obtained in the concentration range 5.00 x 10~(-4)-1.00 x 10~(-4) M for UA and 8.00 x 10~(-6)-5.00 x 10~(-3) M for AA with the detection limits of 3 x 10~(-7) M and 4 x 10~(-6) M, respectively. The relative standard deviations were 1.3 and 1.0% for the determinations of UA andAA for 20 continuous measurements. The signal was highly stable and reproducible. This method was successfully applied to the determination of UA in human urine samples.
