Evaluation of a micromethod for the determination of glucose in skin-puncture blood for the DuPont aca.

A micromethod is described for the determination of glucose in 20 microliter of skin-puncture blood for the DuPont aca. For the determination of glucose we prefer whole blood which is deproteinised with uranyl acetate. Some modification of test conditions are programmed into the computer II. The emergency analysis of supernatant on the aca then gives the same values as the Technicon Autoanalyzer II, using glucose dehydrogenase for routine analyses. The aca readout is linearly related to glucose concentrations up to 60 mmol/l.
