Glucose Strip Active Formulation

The ZP Active Glucose Formulation is a proprietary formulation for use in manufacturing glucose strips.

 

 

The ZP Glucose Strip Active Formulation is a drop in material as part of the manufacture of glucose strips.



LACTATE ACTIVATION SOLUTION - Please contact ZP before purchasing this product. This product is for people developing lactate  type sensors.


Performance of the solution.

Zimmer and Peacock has electrochemically and functionally characterized the solution. We have assumed that the electrochemical assay type will be amperometric.

From a voltammetric investigation we have determined the bet voltage with which to perform an amperometric assay using the ZP Glucose Strip Active Formulation is -200 mV vs Ag/AgCl/0.15Cl-, or -350 mV a carbon RE, i.e. if your reference electrode (RE)  is silver/silver chloride the assay should be run at -200 mV, but if the RE is carbon is should be -350 mV vs. RE.

VOLTAGE

ZP has electrochemically characterized the solution on one of our carbon electrodes - A-AC-CAC-203-N


CURRENT

Zimmer and Peacock has characterised the performance of the formulation, again on A-AC-CAC-203-N, where the glucose concentration has been varied.

From the raw data we can recommend an integration of the current between 1 to 5 seconds will give the signal.
