Roche, 10 years younger than Johnson & Johnson, has become the world's largest biotechnology company through continuous innovation and acquisitions, with three Nobel Prizes. In the field of blood glucose meters, Roche has the trademark rights to the world's first portable blood glucose meter, and is closely followed by Johnson & Johnson with a 20% market share. However, due to the impact of the homogenization environment, the business has fallen by 30% since 2007, and it is struggling.
 
Divided into three series, Excellent, Vitality and Emotion, Roche meters are as accurate as Johnson & Johnson, but more outstanding in data analysis. The memory capacity of the product is up to 2000 sets, which not only supports time, date and meal marking, but also automatically analyzes the average blood glucose value in 7/14/30/90 days, and can be uploaded to the computer via USB. In addition, monitoring reminders and alerts for high/low blood sugar levels increase ease of use. However, there are also shortcomings in portability and cost performance, and the blood glucose test strip needs 4.34 yuan/piece.
 
Edo is Roche's highest-end series, with a blood collection volume of only 0.3μL, which is suitable for patients who need long-term high-frequency blood glucose monitoring. Its body is a collection of blood collection pen, blood collection needle and cassette blood glucose test strip as a whole, simple and easy to carry, four steps can complete the detection process, but the combination price of the instrument and 50 pieces of test strip is as high as 1087 yuan, those who do not mind can consider starting.
 
The blood collection volume of the Excellence series is slightly higher than that of Yidong, which is 0.6μL. The matching test strip uses gold electrode, although the conductivity is slightly inferior to Johnson & Johnson's Wenyue's gold-palladium alloy, but compared with ordinary products, it is also outstanding, and the detection also only takes 5s. Among them, the excellent delicacy also supports additional blood refills within 5s, which can effectively avoid the waste of test strips, and the package price is 526 yuan.
 
In contrast, the Vitality series has been underwhelming. Although the test strip is designed to be wider and the blood collection area is also larger, the drip blood injection not only increases the blood collection volume to 1-2μL, but also easily smears the blood on the instrument and causes contamination during operation, and is sold with 50 test strips at a price of 383 yuan.
