Abstract

A control solution for use with a porous reagent strip comprises a flexible semisolid polymer dispersed in water, such as polyvinyl acetate in distilled water, with appropriate control glucose concentration levels. This solution is useful in mimicking whole blood in conjunction with porous reagent strips to determine compliance of the strips and meters to established measurement and performance criteria.
