THE ENZYMES ACID OR ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE AND GLUCOSE OXIDASEWILL BE COIMMOBILIZED ONTO AN OXYGEN OR PEROXIDE SENSOR; THIS WILL CONSTITUTE THE PHOSPHATE PROBE. A VARIATION OF EITHER OF THESE TWO SPECIES, DUE TO THE ENZYMATIC REACTIONS:GLUCOSE+O2+GLUCOSE OXIDASE-H2O2+GLUCONIC ACID PHOSPHATE+GLUCOSE+PHOSPHATASE-GLUCOSE-PHOSPHATE WILL BE PROPORTIONAL TO THE PHOSPHATE CONCENTRATION. THE ELECTRODE CONFIGURATION WILL BE OPTIMIZED TO GIVE A LONG LIFETIME, HIGH SELECTIVITY, GOOD ACCURACY AND REPRODUCIBILITY, AND SENSITIVITY.
