The GOD-POD method is linear (up to 500 mg/dl), sensitive (detection limit 0.3 mg/dl), simple (requires 10 microlitre of sample to be incubated for 30 minutes with single reagent at room temperature) and requires simple instrumentation (the absorbance to be read between 505 nm to 550 nm).

What is God-Pod method used for?

(1) Colorimetric/spectrophotometric estimation of plasma glucose using glucose oxidase peroxidase (GOD-POD) method is the gold standard for glucose estimation. (2) Enzymatic GOD-POD method is specific for glucose, but it takes 10-15 minutes of time. Hence, it is not suitable for emergency cases.

What is the God method?

A “God Method” is a method that does way too many processes in the system and has grown beyond all logic to become The Method That Does Everything. Lisp/Scheme Objects, implemented as closures, might qualify as a GodMethod.
