A review of enzymatic uric acid biosensors based on amperometric detection.

This review summarizes the studies carried on the development of amperometric uric acid biosensors over the past twenty years. Sensing principles, enzyme immobilization techniques, the electrode types, different approaches and various matrices used for biosensor fabrication are presented along with their benefits and limitations. Uric acid biosensors based on different modes of transducing devices such as optical, potentiometric, conductometric are also referred.
