In this video, you’ll see the real scientific process used in labs to detect glucose in blood. First, a small blood sample is collected and mixed with an anticoagulant to prevent clotting. Then it is centrifuged to separate plasma from blood cells. The plasma is transferred into another test tube, where Hexokinase converts glucose into glucose-6-phosphate. After that, NADP+ reacts to form NADPH, causing a measurable color change. This reaction is analyzed under UV light, where the change in absorbance helps determine the exact glucose concentration. The faster the color changes, the higher the glucose level in the blood. This entire process is called Enzymatic Glucose Analysis, a highly accurate method used in medical diagnostics.
