V. Leite et al., INCREASING GLUCOSE DETERMINATION RANGE BY FLOW-INJECTION ANALYSIS (FIA) USING GLUCOSE-OXIDASE IMMOBILIZED ON POLYANILINE, Biotechnology techniques, 8(2), 1994, pp. 133-136
A Flow Injection Analysis (FIA) for glucose using glucose oxidase (E.C
.1.1.3.4) was developed. The enzyme was immobilised on polyaniline che
mically synthetized on internal surface of silicon tube (2.0 mm of dia
meter and length from 1 to 5 meters), using glutaraldehyde as a bifunc
tional agent. The system was able to measure glucose at levels from 5
to 500mM with a response time of 2min using 250mul of sample. The syst
em has been operated satisfactorily for one month with more than 300 a
ssays with loss of 60% of activity.
