Solution Summary

Chemical reactions used in diagnostic and pharmaceutical chemistry.

Solution Preview

Diagnostic chemistry is used to determine whether a specific chemical reaction has occurred. Examples include tests for diabetes and illicit drug use. The specific reactions involved depend on the test used. For example, a blood glucose test strips use an enzyme such as glucose oxidase or glucose dehydrogenase which reacts with glucose to produce hydrogen peroxide. ...
