Unlock the Power of Electrode Materials
Revolutionizing [Diabetic Test Strips](/sell-diabetic-supplies)
Diabetic test strips are getting a boost from two game-changing electrode technologies: Screen Printed Carbon (Thick-Film) and Sputtered Gold (Thin-Film).
Carbon Paste: The Budget-Friendly Option
Carbon Paste is the go-to choice for low-cost production, thanks to its efficient roll-to-roll screen printing. But it has limitations - higher electrical resistance and surface variability affect precision.
Sputtered Gold: The Premium Powerhouse
Sputtered Gold, used by top brands like LifeScan and Ascensia, uses cutting-edge vacuum deposition and laser ablation to create ultra-conductive, inert electrodes with precise geometries. This means higher clinical accuracy and better results.
What Makes Sputtered Gold a Winner
- Handles tiny sample volumes with ease
- Speeds up electron transfer kinetics
- Delivers lower Coefficients of Variation (CV)
These advantages make Sputtered Gold the top choice for high-accuracy testing. Get ready to experience the future of diabetic test strips!
