An amperometric enzyme electrode tor the analysis of glucose Is described. The electrode uses a substituted ferrlcinlum Ion as a mediator of electron transfer between Immobilized glucose oxidase and a graphite electrode. A linear current response, proportional to the glucose concentration over a range commonly found In diabetic blood samples (1-30 mM), is observed. Data are presented on the Influence of oxygen, pH, and temperature upon the electrode. Results with clinical plasma and whole blood samples show good agreement with a standard method of analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
