The DirectSens® Reader Kit provides hardware and software that will allow you to get precise measurements when used with the DirectSens® biosensor assay kits. The DirectSens® Reader Kit can produce traceability reports and full documentation to validate your “sugar-free” labeling claims.
The software provides an intuitive set of menus which guides you, step by step through the assay process. The system is simple to use and rapidly produces results, allowing you to easily include this measurement in your production process. This makes the OatSens® Sugarfree biosensor assay kit the perfect solution for maltose and glucose analysis to release product, optimize the production process and speed up product development.
Overview of Specifications
Product Details
Product Name
MalGluSens® Biosensor Assay Kit
Product Code
HK1025 (25 biosensor assays)
Key Benefits
Fast and precise detection of glucose and maltose, easy to use, especially developed for oat drinks.
Suitable for
Direct measurement of analyte in combination with biosensor
Measurement Type
Enzymatic biosensor, amperometric detection
Function Principle
The glucose- and maltose-specific enzymes on the biosensors oxidize the molecules in the sample. The current generated (electrochemical principle) depends on the amount of sugars and can be detected directly and accurately using the DirectSens® Reader (DR10).
Glucose and Maltose Relevance
During oat drink production, starch is mainly hydrolyzed to the sugars glucose and maltose. These two sugars determine the sugar content and are crucial for the sweetness of an oat drink.
