Coulometry

Accuracy you can trust
FreeStyle brand meters use a unique, patented, electrochemical technique known as coulometry to measure blood glucose.
Coulometric technology has two critical benefits:
- It allows the meter to read a very small sample size
- It is less affected by haematocrit extremes than amperometic meters
Abbott coulometry chemistry is designed for accuracy
- Confidence that virtually all of the glucose is measured
- Confidence that provides precise sampling, using a small sample size
- Confidence test result isn't compromised due to insufficient blood
- Confidence in results if person is on medications or has other medical conditions
Blood is easily applied:
- Fill trigger technology is designed to prevent the test from starting until enough blood is applied
- Dual fill lets you apply blood to either side of the test strip
World's smallest blood sample size:
- FreeStyle Lite and Optium Omega use only 0.3ul of blood
- Small sample size allows virtually pain free testing
