Detection of Uric Acid in UV-VIS wavelength Regime

Background: Current techniques for uric acid (UA) detection are time consuming and therefore, need to improve the detection methods like absorption. Objective: There was a need to establish a technique that has low integration time for detection of UA using absorption technology. Methods: we measured the concentrations of UA using the ultra violet visible (UV/Vis) spectrophotometer in the wavelength regime (190-1100 nm). Results and Conclusion: In this work, the proposed spectroscopic technique can detect each  concentration and interpret into an absorption value in a constant UV/Vis  regime. This technique acquires the data in ~ 3 seconds (a quick integration time).  Our phantom showed a close value as reported in the text.
