Miniature fluorescent beads for the manufacture of blood glucose measuring instruments

Release date: 2009-06-30


People with diabetes need to control their blood sugar strictly. Usually they need to collect blood several times a day to measure blood sugar levels. If a blood glucose measuring instrument is manufactured using newly developed micro fluorescent beads in the future, the blood sugar level can be measured at any time without burdening the patient's body. Recently, researchers at the University of Tokyo in Japan have developed a miniature fluorescent bead whose luminous intensity changes with changes in blood glucose levels and can be used to manufacture blood glucose measuring instruments for diabetic patients.

According to reports, researchers at the Institute of Production Technology of the University of Tokyo have developed a polymer fluorescent substance that, when combined with glucose, emits green fluorescence under ultraviolet light. The researchers mixed the fluorescent substance into a curry-like substance, processed it into a fluorescent bead of 0.1 mm in diameter, and conducted an animal test. The researchers plan to continue to improve the performance of the micro-fluorescent beads and test their safety, and strive to put the micro-fluorescent beads into the practical stage after 10 to 15 years.

Diabetes is a chronic systemic metabolic disease characterized by persistent hyperglycemia as its basic biochemical feature, mainly due to the absolute lack of insulin in the body of experience or the relative lack of insulin due to increased body demand for insulin, or due to insulin resistance. , which leads to a syndrome of disorders of sugar, protein, and fat metabolism, which are mainly caused by disorders of glucose metabolism. As the disease progresses, it can cause complications of tissues, organs such as eyes, nerves, blood vessels, and kidneys. It is an endocrine and metabolic disease that seriously harms the human body. Shanghai Medical Device Industry Association
