Abstract

The feasibility of using polymeric membrane fluoride-selective electrodes based on zirconium(IV) 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin as a detector in a flow-injection analysis (FIA) system for glucose determination was examined. The optimization of enzymatic reactions, FIA system configuration and enzyme-immobilization process was performed. It was shown that the resulting flow-injection system exhibits good working parameters, such as reproducibility, linear range of glucose concentration (3 x 10(-3)-10(-1) M), sampling rate (60 samples per minute) and lifetime (over 1 month). The performance of the polymeric membrane electrode was similar to that of a crystalline LaF(3) electrode. The results of glucose determination in synthetic samples with the proposed system show good agreement with real glucose concentrations.
