An assay procedure utilizing liquid chromatography and amperometric detection at a chemically modified electrode (CME) has been developed for the determination of 2-thiouracyl (2 ThU) in complex physiological samples. The electrocatalytic activity of the CME, which consisted of a glassy carbon surface coated with an electropolymerized cobalt phthalocyanine film, permitted optimum response at a potential of +0.75 V vs. Ag/AgCl, with a detection limit of 7 pmol for 2 ThU.
