Laboratory Practice - Uric Acid in Urine

These practical kits allow students with or without electrochemical experience to complement their academic
programs by an inquiry-based learning on research experiences. They are also useful for those researchers that are starting in the biosensing field.

Characterization of uric acid oxidation process is done by Cyclic Voltammetry, including if the process is adsorption or diffusion controlled and if the accumulation time could affect the electrochemical signal.
Once a calibration curve is defined, the quantification of uric acid in urine can be easily done by direct quantification or bystandard additions methods. Real samples can be analyzed in a simple and easy way.

The kit contains:

• The professor outline
• The student outline

• A box of suitable screen-printed electrodes (50 units)

• The needed analyte
