A Creatinine Specific Enzyme Electrode

Abstract

An extremely specific creatinine electrode was successfully developed for selective analysis of aqueous creatinine with a linear response over the range from 5 mg/l to 100 mg/l. The endogenous and exogenous species generally present in the serum do not interfere in the assay with the exception of ammonia. With the use of the electrode serum samples containing high creatinine can be assayed directly after pre-treatment. However, the electrode is not sensitive enough to detect the normal level serum creatinine due to the dilution of the serum after treatment.
