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.

configured for this chemistry.
Note: See Appendix A if concentration unit conversion is required.
Special Considerations:
»
If sample dilution is required, use reagent water or 2357 buffer.
»
The sample must be
dextrose-free
, or at least contain levels low enough not to
interfere with the sucrose reading. Since the sucrose membrane contains glucose
oxidase, dextrose will produce a probe signal. See Section 4.16 to measure dextrose
and sucrose simultaneously.
