For the quantitative determination of total glucose in human serum.
Number of Tests:
1000 tests
4 x 250 mL bottles
Testing Procedure:
Manual
Reconstituted Stability:
30 days at 2-8°C in amber container
Wavelength:
500 nm
Linearity:
500 mg/dL at 37°C
Expected Values:
70-105 mg/dL
It is recommended that each laboratory establish its own range of expected values.
Reagent Deterioration:
The reagent should be discarded if: (1) Turbidity has occurred; (2) Moisture has
penetrated the vial and caking has occurred; (3) The reagent fails to meet linearity claims
or fails to recover control values in the stated range.
Limitations of Procedure:
Grossly lipemic or icteric sera will cause false glucose values and require the use of a
serum blank.
