Abstract
A model apparatus is described for the continuous determination of compounds susceptible to catalytic oxidation by enzymes attached chemically to a membrane covering Clark's oxygen cell. The substrate concentration is estimated indirectly from the consumption of oxygen, which is proportional to the area under the curve registered at a constant potential of -0.65 V. A linear relation was found for phenol, ascorbic acid, L-lysine, glucose and polyamines. It is possible to analyze 15-30 samples in 1 h, depending on the flow rate of the carrier buffer.
