AUBF LAB UNIT 2 MOD 3 Flashcards
The glucose reagent strip uses a ____ and detects glucose only
Double sequential enzyme reaction (glucose oxidase and peroxidase)
What catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to form hydrogen peroxide and gluconic acid
Glucose oxidase
The hydrogen peroxide formed oxidizes the _____ on the pad into ___ in the presence of peroxidase, causing color changes from _________
Chromogen (potassium iodide); iodide; blue to green to brown
What is the chemical equation used in reagent strip
Glucose + O2 —-(glucose oxidase)- -> Gluconic acid + hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide + chromogen —— (peroxidase) > oxidized chromogen + water
