A MODIFIED FOLIN AND WU BLOOD SUGAR METHOD

Colour production and stability in the Folin and Wu method of blood glucose estimation.

The methods most commonly employed for the estimation of blood glucose are dependent upon the ability of glucose to reduce alkaline copper solutions. Reagents containing phosphomolybdic acid are then frequently used to form a blue complex by combination with the reduced copper. All these methods suffer the disadvantage that the final colour fades at such a rate as to imperil its accurate compar...

A Simplified Bed-Side Blood-Sugar Method

medical profession. But even so, practically all the blood-sugar methods require considerable laboratory facilities and are not suitable for application at the bed-side and in the mofussil. Since the introduction of insulin and the modern developments in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, the estimation of blood-sugar has become essential in this disease. The bloodsugar question is, thus,...

Improved method for estimating blood sugar.

Received for publication 8 December 1965. reduced copper is oxidized to cupric ions by means of iodine. If no necessary allowance has been made, the cupric ions formed would be completely reduced and precipitated as cuprous iodide in the presence of an excess of soluble iodide in the reagent. Probably to check this reduction by iodide, Harding and Downs (1933) employed potassium oxalate in thei...

A Simplified Method for Estimation of Sugar in the Blood

(December 1927). That normal blood contains sugar has been known from the time of Claude Bernard, and since then numerous methods have been devised by workers all over the world for estimating its amount, many of these being obsolete now. Formerly, the estimation of sugar in blood used to be a tedious procedure; but nowadays it is a much more simple process. But even so, nearly all the methods ...
