Evolution of Electron Mediators in [Diabetic Test Strips](/sell-diabetic-supplies)

Introduction

Diabetic test strips need electron mediators to measure blood glucose levels. These mediators make electron transfer between enzymes and electrodes happen.

History and Development

Electron mediators have changed a lot since they were first used. Early mediators like ferrocene and ferrocene derivatives were in the first test strips [1].

Technology and Innovation

New tech led to second-generation mediators like osmium and ruthenium complexes [2]. These improved accuracy and reduced interference.

Manufacturers and Product Lines

Big companies like Roche and LifeScan made their own electron mediators [3].

Conclusion

Electron mediators have made diabetic test strips better. Researchers keep working on more efficient and accurate mediators.
