Contour glucometer and test strips

Manufactured by Bayer
Visit Supplier
Sourced in Germany

The Contour glucometer and test strips are a diagnostic device designed to measure and monitor blood glucose levels. The glucometer provides a digital display of the blood glucose reading, and the test strips are used to collect and analyze a small blood sample. This product is intended for use by individuals with diabetes to help manage their condition.

Metabolic Profiling of Fasted Mice

Glucose and insulin tolerance tests were performed by fasting the mice overnight for 16 hours or 4 hours in the morning respectively. In respective tests, mice were injected with glucose (1 g/kg; Sigma, G7021) or insulin (0.75 U/kg; Novolin) intraperitoneally (i.p.). Blood glucose was monitored via a Bayer Contour glucometer and test strips (Bayer, Leverkusen, Germany). All behavior tracking is done automatically with EthoVision XT program (Noldus). All following behavior/fitness testing follow previously described protocols (Bellantuono et al., 2020 (link)).

Metabolic Phenotyping in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were weighed at baseline and then weekly at 0900h during the experimental period and at time of sacrifice. Body composition was measured at the conclusion of the 14 week study by EchoMRI-100H body composition analyzer for mice (EchoMRI, Houston TX). Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test was performed at week 14 of the long-term diet study. Mice were overnight fasted (16h) prior to IP glucose injection (2g/kg) (Sigma Aldrich; St Louis, MO). Blood glucose was measured in 3μL of tail blood at baseline, 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes with a Contour glucometer and test strips (Bayer Healthcare LLC; Tarrytown, NY).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
