Abstract

Dry reagent strip technology is known for carrying the controlled application of reagents in the manufacture of the reagent pads. These reagents contain indica- tor dyes, metals, enzymes, polymers, antibodies, and various other chemicals dried onto chosen carriers. Diagnostic dry reagent strips are mostly used in clinical chemical analysis of urine and blood, led to monitoring glucose concentration. Results are obtained instrumentally or visually as thresholds and quantitative outputs. Dry reagents are used in preparing various multivariate strips whose mechanisms are operational to review their performance, limitations and benefits of reagent strips by manufacturers. Pasteurizing milk is first public health requirement and quality assurance in the dairy industry. The present study takes a step forward in evolving dry reagent fabric biostrips as an immediate rapid and costeffective solution for detecting pasteurization through the detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). It is most conventional biomarker for testing the efficacy of procedure of milk pasteurization in dairy industries. Hence, quantitative wet-chemical analysis is gradually being replaced by quick and cost-effective dry reagent strip methods for quantifying clinical chemistry parameters and therapeutic drug monitoring in serum, plasma, or whole blood in various small and referring laboratories. Their analytical precision was found to be satisfactory including dry-chemistry measurements. The precision levels of such evaluation of dry chemistry reagent strip technology can be very efficient in terms of reference values because of their led matrix conditions.
