Full Description of the Invention
This invention relates to the non-invasive instrument used for measuring glucose levels of urine samples by using infrared laser with measurement unit in mg/dL. The measuring Instrument of glucose levels has a laser spectroscopy-based innovative technology used as an early detector for the diabetics . The advantage of this invention is the development of non-invasive measuring instrument of glucose levels in fasting and postprandial conditions on a small and portable as well as light
LCD display.
This invention uses laser as a light source as it is monochromatic, coherent, and directional in nature with high brightness . Laser characterization is required to know the character and behaviour of the laser to use for optimum operation . Laser characterization is made by observing the effects of the distance between the laser as a light source and the photodetector to the light intensity received by the photodetector. The absorbance of the laser wavelength used has to match that of the urine sample wavelength.
Further, this instrument consists of infrared laser, photodiode, voltage amplifier circuit, microcontroller, 16x2 cm
LCD display module (preferable) and cuvette as a sample container. The invention of this non-invasive measuring instrument of glucose levels uses a diode laser at a wavelength range of 830 nm. Component of photodiode used for measuring
light intensity is placed in parallel to and in opposite to diode laser at a distance of 4 cm. A 250 ml transparent cuvette
(preferable) is placed between laser diode and photodiode as a sample urine container . This invention works by using laser light absorbing process (absorption intensity) by glucose molecules in the urine and transmitted light intensity rate
(laser transmission) is detected.
The program works by using software on the microcontroller by using language C. Microcontroller functions to process input data of the amplified photodiode voltage rate using a voltage amplifier circuit . The voltage rate is in proportion to that of the captured infrared laser light intensity . The voltage rate is then converted to digital form for simple data processing and calibration. The calibration process is made in the program to compare the voltage input data to the sample glucose levels of the reference urine for the best accuracy rate.
Data that has been processed by the microcontroller is then displayed through the display unit of the measurement results of the urine glucose levels in the form of a 16x2 cm LCD. The benefits of this invention can be used as an alternative early detection for the diabetes meliitus that is non-invasive nature .
Example of the Implementation of the Invention
The laser wavelength of this instrument is 850 nm. The laser is used as a light source to illuminate the urine . Glucose will not appear in the urine as long as the concentration of glucose in
the blood does not exceed the renal reabsorption threshold for glucose of 160-180 mg/dL. The normal urine glucose concentration is ± 0.55 mol /L in the fasting condition and ± 4.4 mol/L after having meals for non-diabetic people .
The design of this instrument uses a different power supply between Arduino uno and infrared laser. The power supply for the laser has a voltage specification of 3.3-5 volts with a current of <100 mA, while that for the Arduino Uno requires 5- 12 volts .
Arduino Uno in this study is used for controlling the output given by the photodetector to display the measurement results of urine glucose levels on the LCD and for controlling the push button for urine sample selection .
The measurement results of glucose levels are displayed on the LCD. Laser characterization results indicate that the maximum laser intensity at a distance of 0.5 cm is 31.44 mW with an energy dose of 0.16765 J/cm2. The measurement results of glucose levels indicate that the quantity of glucose levels in the urine or Diabetes detection result is normal . The calibration of the instrument already designed with dipstick reagents indicates that the accuracy of the designed instrument is 90% . This indicates that the design of this instrument can be used as an alternative for detecting Diabetes Mellitus .
10 :s: initial light intensity
It - intensity of light transmitted by molecules in the sample ε = molar absorption coefficient in units of 1 mol / c concentration of molecules in mole unit/1 d = length of sample passed by the light in cm
The values of 10 and It cannot be measured in absolute terms, so the measurement thereof is assumed as a percentage of the so- called Transmittance (T) Percentage . Transmittance (T)
Percentage indicates a linear relationship with the concentration of molecules if the inverse of the logarithm is used, as shown in equation 2 :
Remark:
A = molecular absorbance
10 initial light intensity
I = intensity of light transmitted by molecules in the sample T transmittance percentage ε - molar absorption coefficient in units of 1 mol-1 cm-1 c concentration of molecules in mole unit/1 d length of sample passed by the light in cm
The Beer Lambert equation indicates a linear relationship between the sample concentration and the absorbance value thereof . Basic assumption that the dif ference between 10 and I is a measurement of absorbance radiation . However, chis is not completely true because ID may not be measurable, so the actual number of 10 is as described in equations (5) , (6) and (7) .
10 ~ absorbed + I + lost intensity (5)
The transmission radiation is obtained by measuring the empty samples by placing effective 10, so that equation (6) is obtained
Empty sample = 10 - lost intensity (6)
Therefore, absorbed = 10 I (5)
Maximum transmittance can be obtained by using an empty sample to obtain 100% transmittance and 0 absorbance . Ready to test urine samples are placed on the instrument as in the Image 2.
The test is conducted to know the amount of light intensity received by the detector that is converted to voltage in digital form by using ADC. The first s tep of resting the instrument is
to determine the comparison curve between the ADC readings and the D (+) Glucose levels with different levels . The realization of the software design requires a comparison curve Of D ( +)
Glucose levels with different levels . The realization of the software design requires a comparison curve between the ADC readings and the amount of glucose concentration in pm units .
The purpose is to convert the value of the ADC readings to the concentration of D (+) Glucose in Ppm units and then convert the same to urine glucose levels namely mmol/L . The measurement of the ADC values for each different glucose concentration is presented in Table 1. From the results of ADC readings of glucose samples with different concentrations, a regression value can be determined to determine equation in determining the amount of glucose concentration in the urine . The regression graph of the reading of ADC values of different concentrations is presented in Image 2. Instrument block data is presented in
Image 3.
Table 1. ADC Reading Results from Different Concentrations of
From the Image 2, we know that the linearity relationship between the ADC values and glucose concentration with the linear regression equation thereof is
