Thin-film amperometric multibiosensor for simultaneous determination of lactate and glucose in wine.

An amperometric multi-biosensor based on lactate and glucose oxidases has been developed for determination of lactate and glucose in wine. Gold thin-film amperometric electrodes were used as multi-transducers. Analytical characteristics of the multi-biosensor developed were studied. The minimum detectable concentration was 5×10(-6) mol/l for both glucose and lactate. High reproducibility and storage stability of the multi-biosensor are demonstrated in this paper. Lactate and glucose were determined in wine, and a good correlation was obtained with concentrations determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (correlation coefficient for glucose R(2)=0.998, for lactate R(2)=0.718).
