Reagents
The Simplera™ sensor contains two biological reagents: glucose oxidase, and human serum
albumin (HSA).
Glucose oxidase is derived from Aspergillusniger and manufactured to meet industry
requirements for extraction and purification of enzymes for use in diagnostic,
immunodiagnostic, and biotechnical applications. The HSA used in the Simplera™ sensor
consists of purified and dried albumin fraction V, derived from pasteurized human serum
which is cross‑linked via glutaraldehyde. Approximately 3μg of glucose oxidase and
approximately 10 μg of HSA are used to manufacture each sensor.
