Question

What do you think the accuracy level of DNS Assay for glucose measurement?

Answer 1

 Accuracy Level of DNS Assay for Glucose Measurement

           DNS assay is more accurate above 50mg/ml dosage of glucose . The accuracy is usually weak below bellow 50mg/ml. For reducing sugars, glucose concentrations of 0-1mg/ml and 0-25mg/ml are used. The reason behind this is that high concentrations shows the same color range whereas in lower concentrations, there is a notable change. However, DNS assay method is associated with several shortcomings hence it is not the most appropriate for glucose measurements.
