Abstract:
An integrated glycemic test system, consisting of(a) a first strip capable of reacting with glucose in a liquid sample,(b) a second strip capable of reacting with protein-bound glucose a liquid sample, and(c) a single device having a spectrophotometer and a single receiving port capable of accepting the first and the second strips when inserted one at a time, so that(1) when the first strip is inserted into the receiving port, the spectrophotometer measures the glucose reaction on the first strip and the device displays the glucose concentration of the liquid sample, and(2) when the second strip is inserted into the receiving port, the spectrophotometer measures the protein-bound glucose reaction on the second strip and the device displays the protein-bound glucose concentration of the liquid sample.
