Abstract A biosensor system for simultaneous determination of creatinine and urea in blood serum and dialysate samples was developed. It consisted of creatinine and urea biosensors based on a potentiometric transducers with two identical pH‐sensitive field‐effect transistors. In creatinine biosensor, creatinine deiminase immobilized via photopolymerization in PVA/SbQ polymer on one transistor served as a biorecognition element, while bovine serum albumin in PVA/SbQ polymer placed on the second transistor was used for reference. The urea biosensor was created in the same way but recombinant urease was used instead of creatinine deiminase. The linear ranges of creatinine and urea measurement were 0.02–2 mM and 0.5–15 mM, correspondingly, which allowed simultaneous determination of the metabolites. Response time of the biosensor system was 2–3 min; RSD of responses did not exceeded 5 %. The biosensors demonstrated absence of non‐selective response towards components of blood dialysate and serum. Urea and creatinine concentrations were determined in 20 samples of blood dialysate and serum. The results correlated well with traditional methods of analysis. Creatinine and urea biosensors were stable during five months of storage (during this time the responses decreased by about 10 %). The proposed biosensor system can be effectively used for analysis of serum samples and for hemodialysis control.
