Özet

In order to prepare uric acid-selective polymeric membrane in the presence of electroactive (ascorbic acid, cysteine, oxalic acid) and nonelectroactive (lactose, sucrose and urea) substances, poly (3-aminophenol) films were prepared by means of electropolymerization on Pt electrodes. By systematically investigating the influence of polymerization conditions on sensor performance of the poly (3-aminophenol) film, the optimal parameters were determined. The voltammetric results showed that polymeric films obtained at the optimized conditions were allowed penetration of large amounts of uric acid (UA) while rejecting ascorbic acid, cysteine and oxalic acid in PBS. Therefore, it has been claimed that the polymeric films could be used as uric acid-selective membrane.
