The utility of blood glucose meters in biotechnological applications

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, 2005
Most methods used to measure glucose concentrations in biotechnological settings are labour‐intensive and/or expensive. With this in mind we have investigated the possibility of employing blood glucose meters, the use of which has the benefit of being fast, convenient and inexpensive, for this purpose.

An Assessment of the Boehringer Advantage Blood Glucose Meter

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 1997
Blood glucose meters have been in use in the North Down and Ards Hospital Trust for the last 8 years. Our initial assessments'< had shown the Boehringer Reflolux 11 to be the instrument of choice. Since then the Reflolux 11 has been replaced by the Boehringer Accutrend. Although this instrument was found to be reliable when used correctly.l in practice

The Effect of Haemolysis on Blood Glucose Meter Measurement

Diabetic Medicine, 1995
A study was performed to assess the effect of varying degrees of sample haemolysis on the measurement of blood glucose by the Accutrend, Companion 2, ExacTech, Glucometer II, Glucometer 4, One Touch II, and Reflolux II blood glucose meters. Fresh venous blood was sonicated to induce complete haemolysis and then added in increasing proportions to ...

Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose Without a Meter

Diabetes Care, 1981
We studied the reliability of the Chemstrip system in the self-monitoring of blood glucose by diabetic patients. A total of 453 blood glucose values obtained by 38 diabetic patients using Chemstrip were compared with the glucose values of the same blood samples measured with a conventional laboratory method.

ExacTech Blood Glucose Meter Clinical Trial

Prehospital and Disaster Medicine, 1993
AbstractIntroduction:Current prehospital protocols for the management of patients with altered mental status include the empiric administration of hypertonic glucose, naloxone, and thiamine. The injudicious use of 50% dextrose (D50W) may result in hyperosmolarity, a worsening of hypokalemia, and unwarranted additional health-care costs for the patient.
