This protocol describes the development of two IgG class monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) strongly reactive to myoglobin of cetaceans. These mAbs are applied on a colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip based on the sandwich format to differentiate the Mb of cetaceans from seal and other animals.

FAQs
The treated test area contains glucose-reactive chemistry, typically including an enzyme such as glucose oxidase. When the sample wets this area, the reaction produces either a visible color change or an electrochemical current. The resulting signal reflects the glucose-related reaction and is interpreted by a visual chart or meter to estimate concentration.
Visual formats rely on comparing the developed color with a reference chart, whereas meter-based formats detect an electrical signal and convert it into a numerical glucose estimate. Both approaches use a chemically treated test area, but the readout method differs. This distinction affects how results are recorded and supports either simple screening or instrument-assisted measurement.
The sample must wet the chemically treated region so that glucose can interact with the reactive reagents. Adequate contact allows the reaction to produce the intended color or electrical signal, which the chart or meter then interprets. Because the strip depends on this localized reaction, the test area is the key interface between the specimen and the measurement system.
A sample, commonly blood or urine, is applied so it wets the strip’s treated test area. The user then observes the resulting color or uses a meter to measure the electrical signal, depending on the strip format. The displayed or chart-matched result provides an estimate of glucose concentration for screening or experimental measurement.
The appropriate sample depends on the study question and the available testing workflow. Glucose detection strips can be used with blood or urine, allowing investigators to assess glucose-related status through different specimen types. In immunology and infection research, these measurements can complement observations of illness, treatment, or experimental infection without replacing the broader study design.
They provide rapid measurements that can be added to studies examining metabolic status during illness, treatment, or experimental infection. This information may help researchers monitor glucose-related changes alongside immunological or infection-focused observations. Because the strips are disposable and simple to use, they can support repeated or practical measurements where rapid testing is valuable.
Their disposable format, straightforward sample application, and visual or meter-based readout make glucose detection strips suitable for rapid testing outside fully equipped laboratories. They offer a low-cost way to estimate glucose concentration and support point-of-care screening. In resource-limited settings, this simplicity can make metabolic measurements more accessible during clinical or research activities.
