Dipartimento di Chimica, Università La Sapienza, Rome, Italy.

Enzyme sensors for urea and creatinine were developed by coupling an ammonia gas-diffusion electrode with triacetate cellulose membranes entrapping urease or creatinine deiminase enzymes. Satisfactory results were obtained by using these sensors both in standard solutions and in authentic biological matrices.
