Abstract: A procedure is disclosed for the determination of glucose in a biological liquid, as well as a reagent mixture for use in conjunction with the procedure. The biological liquids concerned are especially blood, blood components, urine and spinal fluid. The procedure is based on a two-phase enzymatic reaction, the first phase of which comprises transforming glucose with the aid of ATP (adenosine-5-triphosphate) and hexokinase into glucose-6-phosphate and the second phase of which comprises transforming glucose-6-phosphate with the aid of NAD and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase into 6-phosphogluconate. ATP, NAD and the enzymes mentioned are included in a suitably buffered reagent mixture, which can be added as a single dose to the glucose-containing liquid sample. The reaction is monitored kinetically by measuring the absorption caused by the NADH produced in the second phase twice within approximately one minute from the initiation of the first reaction phase.
