Tyson Bio HS100 Test Strips are laser-cut diagnostic tools specifically designed for use with the Tyson Bio HS100 and HS100-B blood glucose meters. They are widely used across Kenya for quantitative capillary blood sugar monitoring at home.
Technical Specifications
-
Enzyme Reagent: Built with advanced GDH-FAD (Glucose Dehydrogenase-FAD) chemistry to eliminate interference from non-glucose sugars like maltose or galactose.
-
Sample Size: Requires a micro-sample of just 0.7 μl of fresh capillary whole blood.
-
Auto-Calibration: Features built-in auto-coding technology that automatically syncs with the meter, reducing the risk of reading errors from manual configuration.
-
Test Speed: Delivers accurate on-screen readings in exactly 5 seconds.
-
Hematocrit (HCT) Range: Specially engineered to maintain accuracy across a broad 0% to 70% hematocrit range.
Handling & Safety Limitations
-
Storage: Must always be kept in their original temperature-controlled vial to shield them from ambient moisture.
-
Altitude Limits: Designed for use under 10,745 feet; higher altitudes may alter reaction times and lead to inaccurate calculations.
