[Development of methods for the qualitative and quantitative determination of urinary glucose]

The methods for proof and determination of urinary glucose practiced in the GDR are discussed and in a comparative determination confronted to the hexokinase method (Glucoquant). Apart from this the Biophan-G stripe was compared with the multi-test stripes Ecur-test (Boehringer) and N-multistix (Ames). The methods of urinary glucose which are declared as obligatory for the GDR in the DAB 7 (D. L.) do no more correspond to the present level of knowledge. The Biophan-G stripe is the exception. By means of Ecur-test and N-multistix an in every case a 98 per cent correct semiquantitative evaluation was obtained in 250 different urines, in the Biophan-G stripe a 94 per cent evaluation.
