A spectophotometric method and a paper strip test were comparatively evaluated. The results obtained by the strip paper test closely agreed with those obtained spectrophotometric method and a paper strip test were comparatively evaluated. urinary glucose concentration to subnormal levels in specimens obtained under standardized conditions and in random specimens incubated for 8 hours at 37°C. before testing. © 1971 The C.
