Determination of Polyhexamethylene Biguanide Utilizing a Glucose Oxidase Enzymatic Reaction

open access: yesAnalytical Sciences, 2019
Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) is a cationic disinfectant widely used for personal-care products and for sanitizers in swimming pools. This paper describes a promotion effect of PHMB on a glucose oxidase (GOx) enzymatic reaction with ferricyanide ion and its analytical application. The promotion effect arose from a polyion complex formation between
