    Abstract:
    An immobilized enzyme electrode for continuous creatinine determination in blood serum is described. The enzymes creatinine amidohydrolase, creatine amidinohydrolase, and sarcosine oxidase are coimmobilized to the surface of the polypropylene membrane of a Clark-type electrode responsive to oxygen. The immobilized enzymes catalyze the decomposition of creatinine with the consumption of oxygen and thus permit the creatinine measurement. The whole assay takes less than 1 min. Effects of pH and temperature on electrode response are also described. The proposed technique offers a rapid, simple, and inexpensive means to determine creatinine in blood serum within the normal and abnormal ranges. The repeatability of the creatine determination in serum is 2.5% (relative standard deviation), and the detection limit is 3 x 10(-6) mol L-1. The results obtained by this method were compared to those obtained with the Technicon AutoAnalyzer SMAC system based on the Jaffé reaction; the correlation factor between the two methods was found to be r = 0.9997.
