    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Clinical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Accurate glucose monitoring is crucial for managing diabetes.
    • Existing spectrophotometric methods for glucose determination can be costly and time-consuming.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel, rapid, and cost-effective enzymatic fluorometric method for blood glucose quantification.
    • To adapt existing spectrophotometric glucose assays for analysis on a semi-solid surface.

    Main Methods:

    • An enzymatic fluorometric assay utilizing glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and NADP+ was developed.
    • The method involves monitoring NADPH fluorescence on silicone-rubber pads.
    • Analysis was performed on plasma or serum samples.

    Main Results:

    • The calibration curve demonstrated linearity up to 2.50 g/liter.
    • The fluorometric method showed excellent correlation (r=0.986) with the established o-toluidine method.
    • Key advantages include reduced cost and faster response times compared to spectrophotometry.

    Conclusions:

    • The described enzymatic fluorometric method provides a sensitive, rapid, and economical approach for blood glucose determination.
    • This technique holds promise for improved point-of-care glucose testing and clinical diagnostics.
