title: An assessment of a reflectance meter system for measurement of plasma or blood glucose in the clinic or side ward.
abstract: The Reflomat System for rapid estimation of plasma or blood glucose concentration has been evaluated. The System gave a linear response throughout its analytical range and the recovery of glucose added to glucose-free plasma was 97-105%. Addition of sodium fluoride to plasma produced a 7-15% reduction in the estimated glucose concentration. Plasma glucose concentration estimated with the Reflomat agreed closely with results of a glucose oxidase and a hexokinase based method, and blood glucose concentration measured with the Reflomat agreed well with results of a glucose oxidase method.
