reduction of cupric ions to cuprous ions forming
cuprous oxide in hot alkaline solution by glucose
Alkaline Copper Reduction Method
____________can be separated within 30 minutes
Serum
Most of the laboratory hospitals are using _____ and __________ in
glucose determination
plasma and serum
___________are not accepted in the lab because it is
mandated under the code of ethics to release accurate and
precise results in accordance with the quality assurance and
quality control in the laboratory
hemolyzed
________is present in the gray tube which is used for
glucose determination
sodium flouride
- Sodium fluoride inhibits the glycolytic enzyme called the __________ which acts as an anticoagulant
Enolase
__________ decreases serum glucose by approximately _________hour __________ in normal uncentrifuged coagulated
blood at room temperature
Glycolysis - 5% - 7% in 1 hour (5 to 10 mg/L)
In separated, non-hemolyzed sterile serum, stable as long as ____________
8 hours at 25°C and up to 72 hours at 4°C.
Serum w/o bacterial contamination and without leukocytosis
(increased WBCs) =
up to 90 minutes delay
Give me the possible samples
Whole blood
Plasma
Serum
Cerebrospinal fluid
Pleural Fluid
Urine
stable up to 48 hrs
- Serum or Plasma:
2mg Na fluoride per mL of whole blood (48 hrs)
Whole blood
There are 2 glucose methodologies
- Chemical method
- Enzymatic method
๏We do not accept unhemolyzed venous plasma/serum
Serum
give me the four alkaline copper reduction method
- Folin Wu Method
- Nelson’s Somogyis method
- Neocuproine method
- Benedicts method
Alkaline ferric reduction method
a. Hagedom method
B. Condesation method
a. Dubowski method
give me the formula of oxidation reduction method
k
The glucose reduces cupric ions present in the alkaline
copper reagent to cuprous ions or the cupric sulfate is
converted to cuprous oxide which reduces the
phosphomolybdic acid to phosphomolybdous acid
a. Folin Wu Method
Give me the formula of folin wu method
k
folin wu method color
BLUE
● Sugars with reducing properties are rising out
of the presence of the potential aldehyde or
keto group called
reducing sugars
Example of reducing sugar
Glucose, Galactose, Lactose, Maltose
One of the classical and widely used methods for the
quantitative determination of the reducing sugars
Nelson Somogyi Method
- The reducing sugars when heated with the alkaline copper
tartrate reduce copper from the cupric state and cuprous
oxide is formed
Nelson somogyi method
When cuprous oxide is heated with arsenomolybdate, there
will be reduction of _________ which has
the color blue
molybdic acid to molybdenum
(2,9 Dimethyl 1,10 Phenanthroline Hydrochloride)]\
Neucoproine Method
The copper in oxidation state reacts with neocuproine
forming a ____________
Complex - neuocuproine method
this complex is extracted into a
________________ giving a yellow or yellow-orange solution
chloroform methanol mixture
- Used for detection and quantitation of reducing substances
in body fluids like blood and urine
Benedicts method
- Used citrate or tartrate as stabilizing agent
Benedict’s Method
- Used to test for simple carbohydrates
Benedict’s Method
Colometric
Dye
- Identifies reducing sugars (ex. Monosaccharides and some
disaccharides which have 3 ketone or aldehyde functional
groups)
Benedicts method
- Can be used for identification of glucose in the urine
Benedicts Method
- It has a principle that when the reducing sugars are mixed
with the Benedict’s reagent and heated, a reduction
reaction causes the benedict’s reagent to _________
Change color
- Color varies from ___________, rusty brown =
depending on the amount of sugar
green to brick red
___________are easily oxidized to yield
carboxylic acid
- Fehling’s Test - aldolases
____________ is reduced to
cuprous oxide forming the product of brick red color
- Cupric ion complex with tartrate ion
Reducing _________ and ________are chemical
compounds that can be oxidized by reducing other
sugars and aldehydes
- Benedict’s solution contains the ___________
Cu 2+ citrate
Fehling’s solution contains the _____________
Cu 2+ tartrate
- It involves reduction of yellow ferricyanide to a colorless
ferrocyanide by glucose (inverse colorimetry)
