Hidden Nano Chemistry In Bendict Glucose Test

Abstract

From centuries, different manufacturers are using different technology for blood glucose monitoring. Since 1908, Benedict’s test is utilized for  only qualitative analysis   of the  urine/blood  sample of patients suspected for diabetics mellitus. Based on this fact, we have now experimentally proved that presence of nanosized cuprous oxide equivalent to the reduced sugar present in any biological fluid can be utilized for both the qualitative and quantitative  analysis of even trace amount of sugar in different species  using fluorescence spectroscopy.
