The Glucose2 assay is used for the quantitation of glucose in human serum, plasma, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on the ARCHITECT c System.
Glucose measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disorders including diabetes mellitus, neonatal hypoglycemia and idiopathic hypoglycemia, and of pancreatic islet cell carcinoma.
The Glucose2 assay is an automated clinical chemistry assay.
Glucose is phosphorylated by hexokinase in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and magnesium ions to produce glucose-6-phosphate (G-6-P) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) specifically oxidizes G-6-P to 6-phosphogluconate with the concurrent reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) to its reduced form (NADPH). One micromole of NADPH is produced for each micromole of glucose consumed. The NADPH produced absorbs light at 340 nm and can be detected spectrophotometrically as an increased absorbance.
Methodology: Hexokinase/G6PDH
