This document describes the glucose oxidase method for estimating blood glucose levels. It involves using the enzyme glucose oxidase to catalyze the oxidation of glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide then reacts with 4-aminophenazone and phenol to form a colored compound, with the intensity of color proportional to the glucose concentration. The procedure involves taking blood and standard samples, adding glucose reagent, measuring absorbance after 10 minutes, and calculating glucose concentration using the standard absorbance values. Normal blood glucose ranges provided are 70-110 mg/dl fasting and 70-180 mg/dl random.

Estimation of Blood Glucose level
Mr. Arif Ullah Khan Niazi
Lecturer Bannu College of Medical Technologies Bannu BLOOD GLUCOSE There are three commonly used methods for glucose estimation, which are;- • Copper reduction method (Folin-Wu method) • Other reduction method such as orthotoludine method • Enzymatic methods such as o Hexokinase method o Glucose oxidase method (Recommended) o Glucose dehydrogenase method Estimation of Blood Glucose Level Glucose Oxidase Method (Enzymatic method) Apparatus: Spectrophotometer/Colorimeter Adjustable micropipette Blood collection kit Ordinary test tubes Centrifuge with test tubes. Estimation of Blood Glucose Level Chemical required: Blood sample, Glucose standard, Glucose reagent & Anti-coagulant 1. Concentration of Glucose standard= 100 mg/dl 2. Composition of Glucose reagent: I. Glucose oxidase---------------------15 KU/L II. Mutarotase----------------------------2 KU/L III. Hydrogen peroxidase-------------1.5 KU/L IV. Phenol------------------------------0.75 mol/L V. 4-aminophenazone--------------0.25 mol/L VI. Phosphate buffer-------------------0.1 mol/L Estimation of Blood Glucose Level Principal: The enzyme Glucose oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to Gluconic acid with the formation of Hydrogen peroxidase. The enzyme peroxidase breaks down hydrogen peroxidase into water and nascent oxygen. The nascent oxygen reacts with the colorless electron acceptor 4-aminophenazone which is oxidized to colored compound. The reaction can be followed photo metrically. The intensity of color produced is proportional to the amount of glucose in the sample: Glucose+H2O+O2-------------------------------Gluconic acid+H2O2 Glucose oxidase Estimation of Blood Glucose Level Procedure: Take 20 micro liter of the sample in the adjustable micropipette. Pour it into a small test tube labeled as “UNKNOWN”. Take 20 micro liter of the glucose standard in another small test tube labeled as “STANDARD”. In another small test tube labeled as “BLANK” take 20 micro liters of distilled water. Now add 2 ml of the glucose reagent to all the three test tubes. Wait for at least 10 minutes so that the reaction is complete at room temperature. Now switch on the colorimeter or spectrophotometer and do its blanking by first placing the “BLANK” in the path of the light. Use the filter/monochromator of special wavelength. The routinely used is of 546 nm. Optical length of cuvette=1 cm. Temperature =20-25 or 37 degree centigrade. Note the transmittance or the absorbance of the unknown and that of the standard(known). Estimation of Blood Glucose Level Observation & Calculation: Formula : C1/C2 = A1/A2 C1=A1/A2 × C2 Where C1= Concentration of Unknown/Test=? C2= Concentration of Standard=1mg/ml. A1= Color absorbance of Unknown/Test. A2= Color absorbance of Standard. Estimation of Blood Glucose Level
