Blood sugar measurement by dextrostix reflectance meter method.

Blood glucose measurement with Dextrostix and new reflectance meter.

A new instrument, Eyetone, has been produced for use with a Dextrostix reagent strip for estimating blood sugar levels. It differs from the Dextrostix Reflectance Meter in having only one meter scale, a two-point calibration, and a range of measurement limited to 10-400 mg/100 ml. Results with the manufacturers' original calibration were unsatisfactory, but when recalibrated the performance of ...

A simple spectrophotometric method for the determination of blood sugar by phenylhydrazine Hydrochlorlde

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...

Increasing the Accuracy of Blood Hematocrit Measurement by Triplicate Wavelength Photoplethysmography Method

Background and objectives: The importance of continuous monitoring and rapid and accurate informing of changes in blood components (e.g., percentage of hematocrit [HCT]), especially in acute conditions, has motivated researchers to use non-invasive measurement methods. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association between blood HCT and photoplethysmographic signal and the possibility ...
