| glucose oxidase paper strip test | <chemical pathology> A qualitative test for glucose in the urine, in which glucose is oxidised to gluconic acid by glucose oxidase; a specific test, unless ascorbic acid is present. (05 Mar 2000) |

| chromatography paper | Used in paper chromatography. Synonym: high quality filter paper. Congo red paper, paper impregnated with Congo red; used as a pH indicator, changing from blue-violet at 3.0 to red at 5.0. Filter paper, an unsized paper used in pharmacy and chemistry for filtering solutions; many varieties are used for paper chromatography. (05 Mar 2000) |

| nitrocellulose paper | <apparatus> Paper with a high non-specific absorbing power for biological macromolecules. Very important as a receptor in blot transfer methods. Bands are transferred from a chromatogram or electropherogram either by blotting on nitrocellulose sheets or by electrophoretic transfer. The replica can then be used for sensitive analytical detection methods. (18 Nov 1997) |
| electrophoresis, paper | Electrophoresis in which paper is used as the diffusion medium. This technique is confined almost entirely to separations of small molecules such as amino acids, peptides, and nucleotides, and relatively high voltages are nearly always used. (12 Dec 1998) |
