A miniaturized and simple analysis tool is of vital importance for practical applications in bioanalysis. This paper describes a new strategy for the trace determination of uric acid (UA), xanthine (XA) and hypoxanthine (HX) by using miniaturized electrochemical biosensor containing a disposable pencil graphite work electrode modified with poly(L-threonine). The novel electrochemical device set the electrochemical detection in a 96 well plates with the microliter level of sample. Cyclic voltammetry and scanning electron microscopes were employed to characterize the biosensor. Some experimental variables of the electrode measurement parameters were optimized. Electrochemical behaviors of UA, XA and HX on the miniaturized biosensor were studied by cyclic voltammetry. The results show that the biosensor exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of three analytes with good reproducibility, stability and wide linear region. Meanwhile, their oxidation currents linearly increase with increasing the mixture concentration from 0.500 to 100 μM for HX and 0.100 to 90.0 μM for both UA and XA with the lowest detection limit 0.50, 0.10 and 0.100 μM, respectively (S/N = 3). The miniaturized electrochemical biosensor featured easily available, low-cost material and simple fabrication, which could be applied in the trace determination of practical sample.
