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 medium from 20 to 600 mg/dL. The glucose strips are
pre-calibrated, and for single use only.
Please read the following check list before usage
Check the glucose test strip condition and expiry date.
Check if the glucose meter has been coded. Note: Remember to code the
meter before using a new lot of test strips.
Use each test strip immediately after removing it from the vial. Recap the
vial immediately after taking out the strip.
Do not refrigerate the test strips and avoid sun exposure.
Dispose of the used strips carefully according to local regulations.
Perform A Test
I. Coding Your Meter (required only for new lot of purchasing test strips)
Insert the test strip into the strip slot, the
meter will activate. The last code number will
appear on the screen.
Compare the code number shown on the
meter display against the code number on
the test strip vial. If the two numbers match,
you may begin testing. Otherwise continue to
the next step.
Press S button until you hear the sound of
buzzer and the code value flashes, press S
or M button to obtain the code number
indicated on the new test strip vial.
Upon obtaining the right code number, wait
the new setting to flash 3 times to validate
the change. The new code number is
displayed on the screen .
After screen shows the proper code and a
blinking drop symbol shows up, your meter is
ready to perform a test.
II. Performing a Glucose Test
Insert test strip into strip slot as illustrated.
The meter turns on automatically. The last
code number will appear on the screen.
Check that the code number in the meter
matches the code on the vial. If the two
numbers match you may begin testing.
Otherwise refer to above section to code
your meter first.
When the drop symbol flashes, you are
ready to perform a test.
Use a pipette tip to withdraw around 10
~100 ul test sample.
Apply the sample and form a droplet on a
hydrophobic surface. Draw the aperture of
test strip to touch the droplet and allow the
sample be absorbed naturally to fill up the
confirmation window. Never push test
sample over the aperture and cause
overloading of the sample.
When sample is applied to the strip, a dotted
line moves on the screen until measurement
is completed.
Test result will show up in 15 seconds.

After test complete, remove the strip from
meter, and discard the used strip safely.
The testing range of the meter is from 20 to
600mg/dL(1.1 to 33.3 mmol/L). If HI is
displayed, your cell culture glucose result
may be higher than 33.3 mmol/L or 600
mg/dL. If LO is displayed, your cell culture
glucose result may be lower than 1.1
mmol/L or 20 mg/dL.
