conversion is required.
• If sample dilution is required, use reagent water.
• If a solution must be prepared from solid glucose, use
the following diluent and allow about 15 minutes
before measuring the sample. This is required for
glucose, which must equilibrate alpha and beta
anomers (mutarotational equilibrium). If your reading
is lower than expected, you may need to wait slightly
longer for equilibration.

Both heat and the presence of phosphate accelerate
mutarotational equilibration.
• For applications requiring linearity performance to
25.0 g/L, YSI 2777 (25.0 g/L glucose, 2.50 g/L lactate)
may be used as a linearity standard provided the
calibrator is YSI 2776 (2.50 g/L glucose, 0.50 g/L
lactate) and the sample size is 10 µL.
• For applications requiring linearity performance to
18.0 g/L, YSI 2748 (18.0 g/L glucose, 1.78 g/L lactate)
may be used as a linearity standard provided the
sample size is 10 µL.
