The planar-type amperometric creatinine biosensor employing an additional enzyme layer containing creatine kinase and adenosine triphosphate was developed to eliminate severe interference from creatine. In the additional enzyme layer, an interfering substance, creatine is converted to noninterfering product, phosphocreatine. Furthermore, the carbon electrode electroplated with Pt black(Pt-B) was employed to fabricate creatinine biosensors with improved sensor performance(e.g., sensitivity, reliability, and reproducibility). The creatinine levels in an unknown sample were determined within less than 5% errors using creatinine microsensors equipped in a flow-cell cartridge.

This study compared the results of hemolyzed samples and re-collected samples to investigate a hemolysis influence and an acceptable hemolysis index (HI). Before and after hemolysis, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), amylase (Amy), direct bilirubin (D-bil), total bilirubin (T-bil), creatine phosphokinase (CK), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), iron, potassium (K), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (Phos), total protein (TP), and uric acid (UA) showed significant results in the paired t-test. LDH, K, iron, AST, CK, GGT, TP, Amy and Phos had a high correlation between the degree of hemolysis and the results of samples. When comparing Roche's cut-off HI with HI^QChigh obtained using quality control (QC) high standard deviation (SD), AST, D-bil, CK, and LDH were similar, but Amy, GGT, K, iron, Phos, and TP were lower than the cut-off HI of Roche, while ALP and ALT were higher. Some analytes which showed no significant results in the paired t-test, were found to have significant results in HI>200. Hence, it is suggested that the hemolyzed sample should be rejected if HI>200. Based on this study that some analytes were affected when HI<100, we recommend to set the standard of hemolysis starting from HI>50.
