Abstract (EN): A flow injection system for the determination of high levels of glucose in parenteral solutions based on amperometric detection of hydrogen peroxide produced in the glucose oxidase reaction was developed, The determinations were made without any sample pre-treatment. The flow injection manifold includes two dialysis units to perform dilution of the samples and to maintain the enzyme in a closed re-circulation loop. Due to the hydrodynamic characteristics of the analytical system, the variables were optimized using a parameter design of Taguchi. Under optimal conditions, a linear response for glucose concentrations, between 0.1 and 1.0 M was achieved. A good reproducibility (r.s.d. < 3%) and a sampling rate of 30 determinations/hour were observed. The results obtained are in a good agreement with those obtained using the spectrophotometric enzymatic method.
