    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Context:

    • Accurate glucose monitoring is crucial for diabetes management.
    • Traditional blood sampling methods can be invasive and require immediate analysis.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of boric acid-impregnated filter paper for capillary blood glucose determination.
    • To assess the stability and accuracy of glucose measurements from these samples.

    Summary:

    • Capillary blood samples absorbed onto boric acid-impregnated filter paper provide a stable matrix for glucose analysis.
    • Glucose is eluted and quantified using methods like hexokinase, demonstrating high precision and accuracy.
    • This method shows excellent correlation (r=0.9932) with capillary tube sampling and is insensitive to environmental factors for at least four weeks.

    Impact:

    • Offers a reliable, stable, and convenient alternative for blood glucose sampling.
    • Facilitates decentralized or point-of-care glucose testing with extended sample stability.
    • Reduces potential errors associated with sample handling and transport in glucose monitoring.
