Abstract: Aurease electrode immobilized with polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel (PVA) was made and its response characteristics were studied under different concentrations of urea (Curea) and at different temperatures and in a buffer solutiont with different pHvalues.It is revealed that for this kind of urease electrode the highest response speed is at 30℃ and pH 9.3, and the maximum steady state potential is at 33℃ ; meanwhile, there exist linear relationships of both v~lg Curea and E~lg Curea in the urea concentration ranges of 3.4× 10-4~2.0× 10-2 mol·L-1 and 2.0×10-4~3.7×10-2 mol·L-1, respectively.
