Abstract

Serum samples were analyzed for their urea content using fluorescence flow injection analysis incorporating an immobilized urease bioreactor and a gas permeable separator. The urease was immobilized under mild and facile conditions to a hydrophilic 2-fluoro-1-methylpyridinium-activated support. The ammonia released as a result of urease-catalyzed urea hydrolysis diffused through a gas permeable membrane into a constant stream of o-phthaldehyde solution to form a highly fluorescent product with lambda ex at 340 nm and lambda em at 455 nm. Up to 25 serum samples can be analyzed per hour. The within-day coefficient of variation (CV) was 1.12% and the day-to-day CV was 1.25% for serum containing 10.50 mg urea nitrogen dl-1. The bioreactor shows excellent storage (at 4 degrees C) and operational stabilities (at 37 degrees C).
