Description
The SpotChem Glucose (GLU) tests are for use with the SpotChem EZ Analyzer.
Blood glucose is a simple sugar that comes from the breakdown of carbohydrates. It is the primary source of energy used by the body. As we digest carbohydrates, glucose enters the blood, raising blood sugar levels and stimulating the pancreas to release insulin which helps the cells absorb glucose for energy or storage. If blood glucose levels rise too rapidly or too often, the cells become ineffective in their response to insulin leading to metabolic syndrome and eventually diabetes. It is important to test blood glucose periodically to assess your body’s ability to process it effectively.
Although heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, only 20% of those cases can be attributed to genetic risk factors. By focusing on diet, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and regularly testing cholesterol levels, patients can be proactive in reducing their chances for heart disease.
The SpotChem EZ Analyzer is a small, portable, CLIA waived bench top chemistry analyzer that utilizes dry chemistry technology. The system can run panels, single tests or a combination so you can test the way you need to. The SpotChem EZ accepts whole blood or serum samples and is calibrated automatically with the swipe of a magnetic card. It is fully automated with walk-away operation for easy, on-the-spot testing. No sample pre-treatment is required.
