“…The use of the proposed sensor in artificial urine samples was also investigated by direct analysis of NADH in two different artificial urine samples, described as following: (i) artificial urine was prepared in distilled water with the following constituents and final concentrations: 0.33, 0.12, 0.016, 0.007 and 0.004 mol L -1 of urea, sodium chloride, potassium diphosphate, creatinine and sodium monophosphate, respectively; 30 (ii) artificial urine was also prepared according to Laube et al 31 The solution contains the following constituents and final concentrations: 0.411 mol L -1 urea, 0.0268 mol L -1 potassium chloride, 3 g L -1 sodium chloride and 0.0513, 0.014, 0.0186 and 0.0068 mol L -1 of sodium sulfate, potassium phosphate, ammonium choride and dihydrated calcium chloride, respectively. In both procedures, the pH value of the sample solution was 6.6 (± 0.1).…”
