DETECTION OF GLUCOSE IN SOLUTIONS ALSO CONTAINING AN ALPHA-HYDROXY ACID OR A BETA-DIKETONE

摘要

Compositions and methods for determining the presence or concentration of glucose in a sample which may also contain an alpha-hydroxy acid or a beta- diketone. The method uses a compound having at least two recognition element s for glucose, oriented such that the interaction between the compound and glucose is more stable than the interaction between the compound and the alp ha- hydroxy acid or beta-diketone, such that the presence of the alpha-hydroxy acid or the beta-diketone does not substantially interfere with said determination.
