[Microdetermination of glucose using glucose dehydrogenase, with independent sample preparation in the routine...

A micromethod for the determination of glucose in 20 microliter of capillary blood using glucose dehydrogenase is described. After deproteinisation with uranyl acetate, the samples are analysed by an Autoanalyzer II method or by a manual procedure. Precision and accuracy are well correlated with the hexokinase-glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase method. Eleven months experience have shown the practicability and economic advantages of this method.
