Intended Use 

The GlucCell

TM

 Cell Culture Glucose Monitoring System 

(The GlucCell

TM

 

System) is designed to quantitatively 

measure the concentration of glucose during cell culture. 
It is for use by laboratory researchers or bioreactor 
professionals to obtain a quantitative measurement of 
glucose in cell culture. 
 

About the System 

The GlucCell

TM

 

System uses the latest technology in Cell 

Culture Glucose monitoring to provide you with easy and 
reliable testing. The system requires only a 1.5

μl of 

medium sample to complete the testing in only 15 
seconds.   
 
The GlucCell

TM

 

System consists of 1) the GlucCell

TM

 

Glucose Meter; 2) GlucCell

TM

 

Glucose Test Strips, and 3) 

the GlucCell

TM

 code key and program key

.

 These products 

are intended to be used together to get accurate Cell 
Culture Glucose test results. Do not use other commercial 
test strips with your GlucCell meter. 

Important Information   

     

The GlucCell

TM

 

System is intended for 

in vitro 

analysis 

use with cell culture medium. The system should not be 
used for diagnosis of diabetes.   

Caution 

A sample with large amounts of reducing agent such as 
ascorbic acid and uric acid may cause result slightly 
higher than the actual glucose level. 
High altitudes above than 2,750 meter (8,800 feet) may 
affect the test results.   
Temperatures outside the range of 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 
104°F) may affect the test results.
