Popis: Coated-wire (CW) and tubular (Tu) type membrane sensors for creatinine are developed. These consist of creatinine tungstophosphate(CTP), creatinine molybdophosphate (CMP) and creatinine picrolonate (CPC) ion-pair complexes as electroactive materials dispersed in plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) matrix membranes. Electrochemical evaluation of these sensors under static (batch) mode of operation reveals near-Nernstian response with slopes of 62.9, 58.1, and 55.2 mV decade−1 over the concentration range 1×10−2–5.0×10−6, 1×10−2–7.5×10−5, and 1×10−2−3.1×10−5 mol L−1. The lower detection limits are 0.39, 3.49, and 2.20 μg mL−1 creatinine with CTP, CMP and CPC membrane based sensors plasticized with o-NPOE, respectively. Tubular and coated wire CTP membrane sensors are incorporated in flow-through cells and used as detectors for flow injection analysis (FIA) of creatinine. The intrinsic characteristics of the detectors under hydrodynamic mode of operation in a low dispersion manifold are determined and compared with data obtained under static mode of operation. With 10−2 mol L−1 phosphate buffer of pH 4.5 as a carrier solution, the tubular and coated wire CTP detectors exhibit rapid response of 58.9 and 50.7 mV decade−1 over the concentration range 1×10−2–1×10−5 mol L−1 and detection limits of 0.39 μg mL−1 and 0.85 μg mL−1, respectively. Validation of the assay methods with the proposed sensors by measuring the lower detection limit, range, accuracy, precision, repeatability and between-day-variability reveals good performance characteristics confirming applicability for continuous determination of creatinine. The sensors are used for determining creatinine in human blood serum at an input rate of 40 samples per hour. No interferences are caused by creatine, most common anions, cations and organic species normally present in biological fluids. The results favorably compare with data obtained using the standard spectrophotometric method.
