Development of cellulose paper testing strips for quick measurement of glucose using chromogen agent

► Cellulose paper based glucose test strips were prepared using the chromogen agent. ► TBHBA is superior to DCP or TMB as the chromogen in cellulose paper based strips. ► The developed red color intensity was correlated to the glucose concentration. ► When stored in a cool/dark place, the prepared paper test strips was quite stable. ► These strips would have applications in monitoring of blood glucose with diabetes.
