Test devices for determination of glucose
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A test device useful for determining glucose comprising:
- a single layer carrier matrix;
a test composition for the determination of glucose incorporated substantially uniformly within the carrier matrix, said composition producing a detectable optical response upon wetting with an aqueous solution of glucose; and
a glucose derivative selected from the group consisting of glucose boronates and glucose borinates, which upon contact with water produces glucose, incorporated in a limited, defined portion of said carrier matrix at a concentration sufficient to provide a detectable optical response in said carrier matrix upon the wetting of said matrix with an aqueous solution.
