title: Simultaneous determination of glucose and choline based on the intrinsic fluorescence of the enzymes.
abstract: It has been possible to perform the simultaneous determination of choline and glucose using the intrinsic fluorescence of the corresponding enzyme as an analytical signal. This can be done in two ways. First, for low glucose and choline concentrations (about 0.55 mM and 0.75 microM respectively) two differentiated signals, without mutual interference, are obtained for both analytes in the same measurement. Second, when glucose and choline concentrations are higher, a new model has been designed which permits the concentrations to be accurately determined in samples containing from 0.55 mM to 3.75 mM glucose and from 0.75 microM to 11.0 microM choline; the method has been applied to simultaneous glucose and choline determinations in serum samples with good results. This method gives a better performance than multivariate calibration based on Partial Least Squares Regression. The methodology here shown could be also used for the simultaneous determination of other pairs of analytes.
