Ingredients and Regent composition of Accu-Chek Active Blood Sugar Test Strips (100 pcs pack)
- Mutant variant of quinoprotein glucose dehydrogenase (Mut. Q-GDH 2, modified variant of EC 1.1.5.2), acinetobacter spec. (3.0 U): This is the key enzyme in the test strip. It reacts specifically with glucose in the blood sample, triggering a chemical reaction.
- Pyrroloquinoline quinone (0.2 µg): This compound plays a role in the electron transfer process during the enzyme reaction.
- Bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-(4-hydroximinocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)- ammonium chloride (7.9 μg): The function of this ingredient is not specified, but it likely plays a role in the chemical reaction or stability of the test strip.
- 2,18-phosphomolybdic acid, sodium salt (85 µg): This compound may act as a colorimetric indicator, changing color in response to the glucose reaction.
- Stabilizer (0.13 mg): This ingredient helps maintain the shelf life and functionality of the test strip by protecting the enzymes and other components from degradation.
- Non-reactive ingredients (1.6 mg): This category likely includes inactive fillers, binders, and other materials necessary for the structure and handling of the test strip.

What do Active strips measure?
Accu-Chek Active Test Strips measure the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood.
How do Active strips work?
The strips contain a special enzyme called mutant variant of quinoprotein glucose dehydrogenase (Mut. Q-GDH 2). When you apply a blood sample, this enzyme reacts with the glucose in your blood. This reaction creates a color change on the test strip, which the Accu-Chek Active Meter reads to determine your blood sugar level.
How much blood do I need for a test?
Active strips require a very small blood sample, only 1-2 microliters (µL). This minimizes discomfort during testing.
Can I use Active strips with any meter?
No, Accu-Chek Active Test Strips are designed specifically for use with the Accu-Chek Active Blood Glucose Meter. Using them with incompatible meters may lead to inaccurate readings.
What information is included on the packaging about the ingredients?
The packaging doesn't disclose the exact formula for safety reasons and proprietary information. However, it does mention the presence of a specific enzyme (Mut. Q-GDH 2) and other chemicals that react with glucose in your blood.
