Determination of uric acid by electrochemical method using ultrasonic stimulation has been investigated. Effects of sonication power, sonication time, pH of the solution and temperature were studied to obtain the optimal analytical conditions. The stability of the electrode was also examined. The optimal conditions for the sonovoltammetric determination of uric acid were as follows: temperature, $25.0^{\circ}C$ pH 7.0; sonication power, $20W/cm^2$. The calibration curve for the determination of uric acid by sono-LSV was linear over the range of$8.0{\times}10^{-6}\~5.0\times10^{-4}M$ and the limit of detection was $6.5\times10^{-6}M$.
