title: High performance liquid chromatography of glucose using a post-column reactor of immobilized enzyme followed by electrochemical detection (glucose-LCEC).
abstract: A sensitive and selective, reasonably fast method for the determination of glucose content has been developed. A glucose oxidase immobilized column was coupled to a small-size anion exchange column/borate buffer chromatograph. The hydrogen peroxide produced in the enzyme reaction was detected directly by an amperometric detector using a platinum working electrode. The detection limit was 0.03 ppm (1.5 x 10(-7) M, 3 pmol/injection). The linear dynamic range was three orders of magnitude at least. The system was stable and reproducible both in short- and long-term operation. The proposed method is suitable for analysis of complicated matrices of biological samples because of its good selectivity and sensitivity.
