Wired Enzyme Technology
Introduction
Wired enzyme technology is revolutionizing blood glucose monitoring! It makes measuring glucose levels accurate and efficient.
Key Components
This tech combines three key players: enzymes, mediators, and electrodes. Enzymes break down glucose, while mediators facilitate electron transfer. Electrodes measure the resulting current.
How it Works
Here's how it works: glucose enters the test strip and reacts with enzymes. This reaction generates electrons, which flow through the mediator to the electrode. The electrode measures the current, calculating glucose levels.
Benefits
The benefits are clear: improved accuracy, faster results, and reduced interference from other substances.
Manufacturers and Products
Several manufacturers are on board, using wired enzyme technology in their products. Notable examples include companies like Abbott (Freestyle Libre) and Dexcom (G6)
