A carbon felt (CF) electrode/glucose oxidase (GOD)-containing solution
system is used for measuring dihydroxyphenols (e.g., catechol and dop
amine). Dihydroxyphenol molecules are oxidized on the electrode, but a
re regenerated by the GOD reaction in the presence of glucose. The con
sumption-regeneration cycle for catechol molecules results in an ampli
fied electrode response. Further, the measuring method can be free fro
m electrochemical interference by oxidizable species such as L-ascorbi
c acid and uric acid.
