Abstract
A test strip for determining blood glucose levels comprising a reagent which incorporates a dye color. Whole blood reacts with the reagent of the test strip resulting in a color change on the reagent portion of the strip which is controlled by the dye color, indicating the blood glucose level by visual comparison with a color chart, or by the use a photometer. The use of a copolymer in the reagent which provides complete coalescence and a resulting smooth surface particle structure provides accurate readings of the reacted test strip by the photometer.
