A Simplified Alkaline Phosphotungstate Assay for Uric Acid in Serum

An alkaline phosphotungstate procedure was developed in which the phosphotungstic acid reagent is used both as protein-precipitating and oxidizing reagent. The procedure requires only a 0.2-ml sample and fewer reagents and manipulations than similar procedures, but yields results equivalent to those obtained by Henry’s alkaline phosphotungstate procedure. Recovery, precision, and linearity were good over a wide range of uric acid concentrations. Standardization was easy with use of aqueous albumin standards or of commercial calibration reference sera.


Key Words: nonspecific chromogens • ascorbic acid • commercial reference sera
