Introduction
Glucoselevelsinphysiologicalfluidsareincreasedindiabetesmellitusandin
conditionsofthyroid,pituitaryoradrenalhyperactivity.Lowlevelsarecaused
byinsulinoverdosage,insulinsecretingtmours,hypoadrenalismandglucose
maladsorption.Thenormalrangeinplasma(fasting)is75-115mg/100ml.
Principle
Thephysiologicalfluidsampleisaddeddirectlytoacuvettecontainingthe
reagentatroomtemperature(20-25C),andtheglucoseconcentrationisread
directlyfromthedisplayorprintedout.Thismakesitsuitabletechniquefor
singleassays.
