    • Abstract
  • The Folin-Wu method is one of the classic methods for blood glucose determination. It is the representative scientific research achievement of Hsien Wu, one of the most celebrated biochemists in China. This study focuses on the invention process of the Folin-Wu method by referring to the original papers of Folin and Hsien Wu and relevant second-hand historical materials. The implication of competition and cooperation in scientific community on further improvement of the Folin-Wu method is also discussed. The purpose is to evaluate the influence of the Folin-Wu method based on historical data, and to further clarify the academic contribution of Hsien Wu in the research process of this method.
