DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201404378 across a wide range from 1× 10− 7 to 1× 10− 3 M, depending on the matrix.[27] Abnormal UA level in human body is a sign for many diseases, including gout, hyperuricemia, Lesch–Nyhan syndrome, renal diseases, and even cardiovascular disorder.[28–30] Consequently, fast and accurate determination of UA is critical to the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. However, the conventional techniques for UA measurements usually suffer from several drawbacks like labor-intensive, expensive, time-consuming, insensitive, and unportable.[31–37] Here, we studied OECT-based UA sensors with the device structure shown in Figure 1a for the first time. The UA sensors demonstrated good selectivity and a detection limit of≈ 1× 10− 8 M, which is approximately three orders of magnitudes better than conventional electrochemical methods using the same enzyme electrodes. Other high-performance enzyme biosensors, including cholesterol and glucose sensors, were realized with the same strategy. In the end, the devices were demonstrated for saliva testing and the concentrations of UA and glucose in saliva can be selectively measured. Flexible OECTs with Pt electrodes and poly (3, 4-ethylene dioxythiophene): poly (styrene sulfonate)(PEDOT: PSS)) active layers were fabricated on thin polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates with thicknesses of about 50 µm. The flexible OECTs can be attached on various deformable surfaces and show stable performance during bending tests up to 1000 times, as shown in Figure 2a, b. The OECTs with Pt gate electrodes are sensitive to H2o 2 due to the following reaction on the gate:[27]
