Abstract
A uric acid biosensor was fabricated by the Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique to immobilize the uricase on chitosan/Prussian blue (CS/PB) prefunctionalized indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode. The effects of ionic strengths, acidity of subphase, and uricase amount on the film were studied. The electrochemical properties of the uricase/n-nonadecanoic acid (UOx/NA) LB film proved that CS/PB was a good electro-catalyst for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide produced by enzymatic reaction of UOx, and protein molecules retained their natural electro-catalytic activity. The linear range of uric acid detection was from 5 × 10−6 mol/L to 1.15 × 10−3 mol/L with a detection limit of 1.8 × 10−7 mol/L.
