Test strip functionality
Test strips enable a quantitative measurement of the glucose level in fresh whole blood. When the gap
for taking blood comes into contact with a drop of blood, it is automatically filled by simple capillary
action. The blood is sucked into the absorbing gap on the test strip and the blood glucose monitor
measures the blood glucose level in the blood.
The test is based on the measurement of an electric current that is generated by the chemical reaction
of the glucose with the enzyme glucose dehydrogenase (Aspergillus sp.) on the strip.
During the reaction, a mediator transports electrons through the electrode surface and so gener-
ates a current.
The blood glucose monitor analyses this current. The current flow is proportional to the glucose con-
tent in the blood sample. The results are shown on the blood glucose monitor display. Only a small
