A rapid and high-throughput method for the determination of serum uric acid based on microarray technology and nanomaterial.

Serum uric acid (SUA) is a new therapeutic target for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this study, we introduced a chemiluminescence (CL) method combined with microarray technology and a simple fabrication procedure to obtain a highly sensitive SUA probe based on a mesoporous metal oxide nanomaterial. The high-throughput method was based on the generation of H₂O₂ from SUA by immobilized uricase and its measurement by a CL reaction catalyzed by mesoporous metal oxide nanomaterials. The CL probe was designed for SUA The linear range of the uric acid concentration was 0.6-9 μM and the detection limit was 0.1 μM. In comparison with the other SUA detection techniques, this method has the advantages of a low detection limit, high sensitivity and simplicity. A new sensitive high-throughput approach was obtained for the determination of SUA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
