β¦ Synopsis
The construction and response of an immobilized enzyme modified electrode as an amperometric sensor is described. Xanthine oxidase was adsorbed on a carbon paste electrode and physically entrapped with a semipermeable membrane.
Uric acid, the product of the enzymatic reaction, was oxidized electrochemically at +0.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl, yielding a steady-state current directly related to the bulk concentration of the substrate. Hypoxanthine and xanthine were determined in the range 5-100 pM at pH 7.2 with good precision. Interferences are discussed.

We describe a sensitive, reproducible method for the simultaneous determination of the ATP catabolites inosine, hypoxanthine, xanthine, and uric acid in biological samples and organ perfusate using reverse-phase chromatography and multiwavelength detection at 254, 270, and 292 nm. Sample preparation
The amount of consumed oxygen in the xanthine oxidase reaction exceeded the initial amounts of xanthine added when the enzymatic reaction was performed in the presence of reducing agents such as L-ascorbic acid (AsA) or dithiothreithol (DTT) . Significantly amplified signals of the immobilized xant
