We verify here that this analyte can be used as a benchmark of a serious disease affecting the grapevines, namely Botrytis cinerea. The core of the instrument is an amperometric biosensor consisting of a disposable screen printed electrode, generating the analytical signal thanks to a bi-enzymatic process involving glycerol dehydrogenase and diaphorase. The full automation of the analysis is realised by three micropumps and a microprocessor under control of a personal computer. The pumps allow the correct and constant dilution of the grape juice with a buffer solution also containing [Fe(CN)6]3\u2212 redox mediator and the injection of NAD+ cofactor when the baseline signal reaches a steady state; the instrument leads to automated reading of the analytical signal and the consequent data treatment. Although the analytical method is based on an amperometric technique that, owing to heavy matrix effects, usually requires an internal calibration, the analyses indicate that a unique external calibration is suitable for giving accurate responses for any grapes, both white and black ones.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s130404571","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,8]],"date-time":"2013-04-08T12:01:31Z","timestamp":1365422491000},"page":"4571-4580","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Development of a Sensor System for the Determination of Sanitary Quality of Grapes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Chiara","family":"Zanardi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Geological Sciences, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia,  via G.
