A spectrophotometric method for the determination of serum uric acid based on the oxidation of 2,2'-azino-di(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate) by use of uricase and peroxidase has already been reported. The method is very precise (CV less than 4.7%). The standard curve is linear up to 4640 mumol/L. Comparison with other enzymatic methods gave good correlation. The method gave results 9% lower than the phosphotungstate method. The effects of bilirubin, haemoglobin, glucose, ascorbic acid, anticoagulants and purine compounds were studied. The reference values for this method are 140.8-407.8 mumol/L for female subjects and 145.6-514.7 mumol/L for male subjects.
