This paper describes the application of the sulphonated 2,4-dichlorophenol/glucose oxidase method of Barham and Trinder for the estimation of blood glucose to the AutoAnalyzer I and AutoAnalyzer II. Use has been made of the increased sensitivity achieved with this reagent to (1) increase sampling rates, with concomitant reduction in sample volume, (2) reduce the consumption of enzymes required, and (3) reduce carryover, all without significant loss of precision.
