AccuData® GTS/GTS The Advantage test strip contains the enzyme glucose dehydrogenase which converts the glucose in a blood sample to gluconolactone. This reaction liberates an electron that reacts with a mediator. The oxidized form of the mediator hexacyanoferrate (III) accepts the electron, forming the reduced form of the mediator, hexacyanoferrate (II). The Advantage test strip employs the electrochemical principle of biamperometry. The monitor applies a voltage between two identical electrodes
