A novel immobilization multienzyme glucose fluorescence capillary biosensor.

Based on the immobilization enzyme technology and the fluorescence capillary analysis method, the authors have developed a highly sensitive fluorescence reaction system and a novel immobilization multienzyme glucose fluorescence capillary biosensor for determining glucose contents. Reaction principle of the system is that under the catalysis of glucose oxidase (GOD) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) immobilized on inner surface of a medical capillary, beta-D-glucose reacts with dissolved oxygen to form gluconic acid-delta-lactone and hydrogen peroxide, and then the latter reacts with l-tyrosine to produce a tyrosine dimer, which has maximal excitation and emission wavelengths at 320 nm and 410 nm, respectively. Fluorescence of the dimer is proportional to the concentration of the beta-D-glucose.
