GLUCOSE INDICATOR * TEST TOOL AND METHOD FOR MEASURING GLUCOSE PRESENT IN LIQUID

摘要

Glucose indicator, test means and method for assaying glucose in fluids are disclosed. More specifically, a new indicator formulation comprising an enzyme system which includes a substance having glucose oxidase activity, a substance having perioxidative activity and a mixture of syringaldazine and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine are disclosed for indicating the presence of glucose in industrial and body fluids. The indicator formulation is nonmutagenic and can be used in conjunction with instrumentation designed to quantitatively measure whole blood glucose levels within the range of 10 to 400 milligrams (mg) per 100 milliliters (ml).
