The present work explores, for the first time, the electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid (AscH 2 ) and its determination in the presence of uric acid (UA) on the in situ activated 4‐nitrophthalonitrile modified carbon paste electrode. The kinetic constant κ for the catalytic reaction for the electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid, evaluated by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and RDE voltammetry provided values around 10 6 L mol −1 s −1 . The sensor provided a linear response range for AscH 2 and UA from 5.0 up to 120.0 μmol L −1 with detection limits of 1.6 μmol L −1 and 1.3 μmol L −1 , respectively. The sensor was applied for the simultaneous determination of AscH 2 and UA in urine samples and the average recoveries for these samples were 99.8 (±3.1)% and 99.9 (±2.1)%, respectively .
