Accu-Chek Active Glucometer Strips are premium test strips designed specifically for use with the Accu-Chek Active Glucometer. They are a key component of one of the world's most trusted blood glucose monitoring systems, known for its reliability and user-friendly design.
When supplied by Microsidd.com with a guarantee of fresh batches every 2 months, it adds a critical layer of quality assurance and performance reliability for all users.
The primary function of these strips is to provide an accurate measurement of capillary blood glucose levels.
Comprehensive Diabetes Management: Used by individuals with Type 1, Type 2, or gestational diabetes to monitor their blood sugar levels multiple times a day.
Lifestyle and Dietary Insight: Testing before and after meals helps users understand the impact of different foods on their glucose levels, allowing for better meal planning.
Informed Insulin Dosing: Provides the critical data needed for people on insulin to calculate their correct dosage, minimizing the risk of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.
Safety and Immediate Action: Enables quick detection and confirmation of hypo- or hyperglycemic events, allowing for immediate corrective measures.
Long-Term Trend Tracking: Data from these strips, when logged in a diary or meter memory, helps in assessing the overall effectiveness of a diabetes management plan during doctor visits.
Efficient Point-of-Care Testing (POCT): Widely used by nursing staff for rapid glucose checks at the bedside, in wards, ICUs, and emergency rooms, streamlining workflow.
Critical Care and Perioperative Monitoring: Essential for monitoring patients in critical condition, those on insulin drips, or undergoing surgery, where stable glucose levels are vital.
Routine In-Patient Management: Allows for frequent monitoring of all diabetic patients admitted to the hospital for any reason.
Outpatient Clinic Use: Provides immediate results during diabetic clinic appointments, facilitating real-time consultation and treatment adjustments.
The Accu-Chek Active strips are distinguished by several user-focused and technological features.
Advanced Biosensor Technology: Utilizes a highly specific enzyme (Glucose Dehydrogenase) for a precise reaction with glucose, minimizing interference from other substances and providing clinically accurate results.
Quality Manufacturing: As a product of Roche Diabetes Care, a global leader, these strips are manufactured under strict quality control standards.
Wide, Capillary Channel: The strip's design features a wide mouth that makes it easy to apply the blood sample, reducing errors and frustration, especially for users with dexterity issues or visual impairments.
Small Blood Volume: Requires only a tiny 1-2 µL blood sample, allowing for less painful finger-pricks and the option to use alternative site testing (on the forearm or palm) when approved by a physician.
Fast Results: Delivers a reading in about 5 seconds, providing quick feedback for immediate decision-making.
No Coding Required (Autolog): The strips are auto-coded. The meter automatically recognizes the batch when a new strip is inserted, eliminating a common source of user error and ensuring accurate results from the first strip to the last.
Built-in Strip Check: The strips include a secondary contact that automatically checks that enough blood has been applied, ensuring a valid test.
Guaranteed Optimal Performance: Test strips are sensitive to humidity and heat. A "fresh batch" guarantee means the strips have not been exposed to damaging conditions for prolonged periods, ensuring they perform as intended from the first use.
Maximum Shelf Life: Receiving strips with a long remaining shelf life is crucial for home users who may not use them as quickly as a hospital, giving them peace of mind about the product's viability.
Assured Accuracy and Safety: For hospitals, using in-date, fresh strips is a non-negotiable part of clinical safety and quality control protocols. It reduces the risk of inaccurate results that could impact patient care.
Supply Chain Integrity: Microsidd.com's model of providing fresh batches every 2 months demonstrates a robust and reliable supply chain, preventing stockouts and ensuring that hospitals and individuals never run out of this essential commodity.

Blood volume: 1-2 μL
Measuring range: 10 mg/dL – 600 mg/dL
Sample types: Capillary blood. If the test strip is removed from the meter to apply blood: venous blood anticoagulated with lithium heparin or ammonium heparin or EDTA arterial blood and blood from neonates
Sample dosing: Blood application on to the middle of the test pad. The test strip (and its components) has the function to spread the blood above the test area – in a quick and hygienic way
Dosing options: Blood can be applied to both an already inserted test strip, and a tests trip outside the meter. This is helpful to minimize the risk of contamination when a meter has multiple users (e.g. in a hospital) and, in case of AST, to facilitate blood application
Re-dosing capability: Additional blood can be added to the test strip within 10 seconds after applying the first drop (applies for inside mode)
Visual color check: Plausibility check option with 5 color block on the test strip vial
Hematocrit range: 20 – 55 % (within-meter mode) 20 – 70 % (outside-meter mode)
The test strips remain stable at least up to the expiry date printed on the test strip vial, even after opening the test strip container must be closed tightly after each test strip is removed

AccuChek Active strips 50 come in packs of 50 and are used with the Accu-Chek Active blood glucose meter. AccuChek Active strips 50 These strips are designed to accurately measure glucose levels in the blood using a small sample size of blood obtained through a finger prick. Each strip has a gold electrode at one end and a capillary action channel at the other end. When the blood sample is applied to the strip, the glucose in the blood reacts with the enzyme on the test strip, producing an electrical current that is measured by the meter. The result is then displayed on the meter's screen within a few seconds. It is important to follow the instructions carefully when using these test strips to ensure accurate results.
