Glucose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.4, type VII, from
Aspergillus niger, 201 units mg
−1 protein) and D-(+)-glucose were purchased from Fluka (Buchs, Switzerland) and Carl Roth GmbH + Co.KG (Karlsruhe, Germany). Glucose solution was allowed to mutarotate for 24 h before all of the investigations, and the equilibrium between α and β optical isomers was established during this time. All other chemicals that were used in present study were either analytically pure or of highest quality. All of the solutions were prepared using deionized water. The solution of sodium acetate (SA) buffer (0.05 mol L
−1 CH
3COONa·3H
2O) with 0.1 mol L
−1 KCl was prepared by the mixing of
sodium acetate trihydrate and
potassium chloride, which both were purchased from Reanal (Budapest, Hungary) and Lachema (Neratovice, Czech Republic). Alfa alumina powder (Al
2O
3, grain diameter 0.3 micron, Type N) was purchased from Electron Microscopy Sciences (Hatfield, MA, USA).
Aniline, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and
thiophene were purchased from Merck KGaA (Darmstadt, Germany),
pyrrole — from Acros Organics (New Jersey, NJ, USA) and
hydrochloric acid (HCl) — from Sigma-Aldrich (Saint Louis, MO, USA). The polymers were filtered before measurements through 5 cm column that was filled by Al
2O
3 powder to remove the coloured components. All of the solutions were stored between measurements at +4 °C.
