Simultaneous Determination Of Glucose And L‐Glutamate Using A Capillary Enzyme Reactor With Electrochemical Detection, Stephanie Hooper, Mark Anderson Apr 2008

Simultaneous Determination Of Glucose And L‐Glutamate Using A Capillary Enzyme Reactor With Electrochemical Detection, Stephanie Hooper, Mark Anderson

Mark R. Anderson

An electrophoresis capillary that incorporates two enzymes for the simultaneous determination of glucose and l-glutamate is described. The enzymes deposited along the separation capillary walls react with their respective substrate as they are separated during the electrophoresis to produce hydrogen peroxide that is detected by amperometry as the hydrogen peroxide zone emerges from the end of the capillary. Even though both enzyme reactions produce a common product, hydrogen peroxide, the hydrogen peroxide produced by each enzyme reaction stays in narrow zones that migrate the length of the capillary at different rates. The rate of migration for the individual H2O2 zones …


Application Of A Square‐Wave Potential Program For Time‐Dependent Amperometric Detection In Capillary Electrophoresis, Stephanie Hooper, David Roach, Mark Anderson Dec 2007

Application Of A Square‐Wave Potential Program For Time‐Dependent Amperometric Detection In Capillary Electrophoresis, Stephanie Hooper, David Roach, Mark Anderson

Mark R. Anderson

Use of a square-wave potential program for time-dependent amperometric detection of analyte zones in capillary electrophoresis (CE) is described. Electrochemical detection for CE requires that the separation field be isolated from that of the electrochemical detection. This is generally done by physically separating the CE separation field from that of the detection. By applying a time variant potential program to the detection electrode, the detector current has a time dependence that can be used to help isolate the electrochemical detection current from that of the separation. When using a 20 μm inner-diameter capillary, we find that a square-wave potential program …
