ReliOn® micro Test Strips
These test strips need only 0.3 µL (microliter) of blood. Apply blood to the
sample application tip. The strip draws in the blood by capillary action.
The blood glucose reacts with the enzyme on the test strip. This produces
a current proportional to the blood glucose level. The meter detects the
current and converts it into a blood glucose reading.
