title: Carbon paste-tetrathiafulvalene amperometric enzyme electrode forthe determination of glucose in flowing systems.
abstract: The development of a carbon paste-tetrathiafulvalene amperometric enzyme electrode for the determination of glucose in flowing streams is described. The enzyme electrode is operated in a flow-through detector based on the wall-jet configuration under flow injection (FI) and steady-state (SS) conditions. Under FI conditions, high precision (0.6%) and sample throughput (120 samples h-1) are possible. Moreover no pre-conditioning of the electrode is required. The flow system is suitable for the determination of glucose in whole blood without sample dilution. With proper orientation of the jet with respect to the enzyme electrode, high accuracy can be obtained under SS conditions.
