8.2.12 Sucrose
This is a direct reading of Sucrose in solution at the enzyme sensor. Three enzymes are co-immobilized in the YSI
Sucrose Membrane: Invertase, Mutarotase, and Glucose Oxidase. Through this chain of reactions the moles of hydrogen
peroxide liberated is directly proportional to the moles of sucrose.

Special Considerations:
•
If sample dilution is required, use reagent water or YSI
buffer.
•
The sample must be glucose-free
, or at least contain
levels low enough not to interfere with the sucrose
reading. Since the sucrose membrane contains glucose
oxidase, glucose will produce a probe signal.
•

8.2.16 Simultaneous Glucose and Sucrose
sucrose specifications when measuring glucose and
sucrose simultaneously.
