Method for determination of glucose concentration in whole blood

摘要

There is provided a method for the determination of a glucose concentration in a whole blood utilizing a biosensor. A correction of the measured glucose concentration for dilution error introduced by the solid component of blood cells is calculated based on the change in glucose concentration measured before and after significant glucose has diffused from blood cells into the buffer used to dilute the sample. Thus, the need to centrifuge blood samples to obtain a cell-free serum sample for glucose determination is eliminated.
