Abstract
The methods described in this paper are based on the uricase catalyzed oxidation of uric acid to allantoine and hydrogen peroxide. By making use of the catalytic activity of peroxidase the generated H2O2 is measured either spectrophotometrically with 3-methyl-benzothiazoline-2-one hydrazone (MBTH) and 3-dimethylaminobenzoic acid (DMAB) (M1) or fluorimetrically with tyramine (M2) or L-tyrosine (M3). The methods are simple, sensitive and selective. The procedures developed can be rapidly and readily performed on patient serum samples without deproteinization using 100 microliters and 5 microliters for colorimetric and fluorimetric assay, respectively.
