AI Article Synopsis
- A new pocket-sized blood sugar device uses carbon and silver plasma as conductive materials and measures glucose levels using an enzyme electrode with glucose oxidase.
- It effectively measures glucose levels between 50 mg/dL and 500 mg/dL, boasting a high linear fit coefficient of 0.985 and greater sensitivity than current biosensors.
- The device employs an AD mu C812 microcomputer for central processing, which amplifies and processes the microampere signals generated by the blood sugar reaction, displaying results on an LCD screen, with outcomes comparable to larger biochemical instruments.
Article Abstract
A pocket blood sugar apparatus tested by enzyme electrode, which was designed using carbon and silver plasma as conducting materials. Both the work and reference electrodes are applied to the parts of enzyme electrode. The glucose oxidase is taken as the medium of blood sugar measuring. And the range of measuring glucose is about 50mg/dL - 500mgl/dL. It has better linear for the results and fit coefficient arrives at 0.985. Its sensitivity of measurement is higher than current glucose biosensor obviously. A single chip microcomputer, AD mu C812, is used for central control processor of the instrument parts. It measures the output of microampere level currency, which is conduced by blood sugar reacting with the glucose oxidase on the enzyme electrode. And at the same time, the microampere level currency is amplified, processed. Then the results are displayed on LCD. The apparatus are better for measuring blood sugar, and the results are consistent with what the large biochemical instruments get.
