Abstract

SFBC work group on uric acid propose a method for evaluation in blood serum which is modeled on the one defined by American Association for Clinical Chemistry. Serum is deproteinized by trichoracetic acid and the supernatant, buffered to pH 8.5, is submitted to uricase action. The disappearing of the strong band of uric acid in UV is measured by derivative spectrophotometry; this procedure vanished the effect of trouble which remains in the supernatant. This spectrophotometric technic permit to reach, in multiple sites, a variation coefficient near of 1 p. cent.
