A new improvised urea sensor is described. The new sensor makes use of entrapment inside reversed micelles as a method for enzyme immobilization and glass electrode for the purpose of sensing. Urea content in clinical blood samples has been estimated using this new sensor. Agreement of the results thus obtained with those from clinical methods gives credence to the new sensor. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 54: 329–332, 1997.
