Chapter 1. About the GlucCellTM System
1.1 Intended Use
The GlucCell TM Glucose Monitoring System is intended for use by
laboratory researchers or bioreactor professionals to obtain a
quantitative measurement of glucose in cell culture media.
1.2 Characteristics
The GlucCellTM Glucose Monitoring system is a merging of glucose
biosensor technology with microprocessor-based instrumentation.
The glucose test strip requires a sample volume of less than 3 uL and
has a testing time of less than 15 seconds. The glucose meter is a
compact hand-held device with a large and easy-to-read display. The
meter can store 180 test results with corresponding times and dates.
1.3 Limitations of the system

!
For in vitro research use only. Not for diagnostic testing.
GlucCellTM Glucose Test Strips can be used only with GlucCellTM
Glucose Meters.
The meter must be coded only with the corresponding code on the
vial of glucose test strips being used - the codes must match.
Use glucose test strips before their expiration date.
Test only with cell culture medium or equivalent buffer solution.
High concentrations of vitamin C and/or uric acid may affect the
test result.
High altitudes may affect the test result.
Temperatures outside the range of 10℃to 40℃(50℉to 104℉)
may affect the test result.
