Figure S3. Effects of (A) washing time for removal of residual GA, (B) pH for GA activation,
(C) GA activation time, and (D) coating time for GOx/LOx on the resulting fluorescence
intensities in the proposed enzyme-immobilized derivatization method. Concentrations of
glucose and lactate: 1 mM. Each plotted signal intensity is the difference between those from the
sample containing the analyte and its respective blank sample; all data have been normalized to
their respective maxima for each parameter. Error bars represent standard deviations (n = 4 for
each parameter).

Figure S5. Dynamic profiles of the fluorescence intensities (emission wavelength: 581 ± 2.5 nm)
of (A) our established online monitoring system for calibration of glucose and lactate and (B) the
enlargement of the encircled area. The black arrows indicated the signal intensities of glucose,
and the red arrows indicated the signal intensities of lactate. The black bar marked the transition
of signal intensities for the glucose and lactate concentrations switched from 0.5 mM to 1 mM.
