dc.description.abstractUrease is an enzyme associated with the degradation of urea, an important nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture. Thus, this current report describes the use of a paper-based analytical device (UrePAD) designed to contain a microzone array for colorimetric determination of urease activity in soils in the absence/presence of potential enzyme inhibitors. The UrePAD can be used at the point-of-need (point-of-care), and it offers advantages such as low cost, simplicity in handling, low sample/reagent volumes, and no use of toxic reagents. The acid-base indicator phenol red was used to monitor the urea hydrolysis reaction catalyzed by urease in the evaluated systems. The images were digitalized in a bench scanner, and the analysis was performed using Corel Draw X8 software. The device offered a LOD of 0.10 U mL−1 with linearity between 0.25 and 4.0 U mL−1 and a relative standard deviation ≤ 1.38%. UrePAD was tested in four soil samples of different characteristics and with eight urease inhibitors of varied classes. The results obtained through the proposed device did not differ statistically (95% confidence interval) from those employing the classic method based on the Berthelot reaction, thus indicating that UrePAD was effective for determining urease activity and screening inhibitors, besides showing the capacity to simplify fieldwork involving the application of urea in the soil.
