Abstract
Abstract Urea electrode comprises a urease-immobilized membrane having added amino groups prepared by dipping an immobilized membrane in an aqueous solution of ethylenediamine or polylysine and an electrode for quantitative determination of ammonium ions. The electrode has a shorter measurement time with a larger electrode output.
