Analyte | Enzyme | Reaction |
---|---|---|
Glucose | Glucose oxidase | β-D-glucose + O2 → gluconic acid + H2O2 |
Alcohol | Alcohol oxidase | Ethanol + O2 → acetaldehyde + H2O2 |
Lactic acid | Lactate oxidase | l-lactate + O2 → pyruvate + H2O2 |
Lactose | Galactose oxidase | Lactose + O2 → galactose dialdehyde derivative + H2O2 |
