摘要:
A method of assaying a saccharified protein in a sample with the use of oxidation-reduction reaction, in which highly reliable measurements can be obtained. A sample containing a saccharified protein is treated with protease in the presence of a sulfonic acid compound, so that the saccharified protein is decomposed. Saccharified portion of the resultant saccharified protein decomposition product is reacted with fructosylamino acid oxidase, and this oxidation-reduction reaction is measured, thereby determining the amount of saccharified protein. Sodium laurylsulfate can be used as the sulfonic acid compound.

A fructosylamine oxidase being an enzyme obtained by culturing Fusarium proliferatum, separating two types of fructosylamine oxidases (FAO) with different substrate specificities from the culturing product and purifying them, which fructosylamine oxidase is useful in the measurement of Amadori compounds.

A specimen having the capability of separating a solid component, characterized in that it comprises a porous reagent layer containing beads, an inorganic gel and a reagent undergoing a detectable reaction with a substance to be detected and a support for the reagent layer, wherein the beads are adhered to one another by the inorganic gel, interstices are formed between the beads to capture the solid component. The specimen can thus used for separating a blood cell component from a total blood containing a blood cell component and a blood plasma component and detecting a substance to be detected, such as glucose, contained in the plasma component. The use of the specimen allows the measurement of a substance to be detected by means of a transmitted light, exhibits good oxygen permeability, and thus can be used for measuring a substance to be detected with improved accuracy.
摘要:
A method for determining a substance in a sample through an oxidation-reduction reaction, which gives found values with excellent reliability. Prior to the oxidation-reduction reaction, at least either of a sulfonic acid compound and a nitro compound is added to the sample to eliminate the influence of hemoglobin and any hemoglobin decomposition products as reducible substances contained in the sample. Subsequently, a reduction or oxidation product derived from the substance to be assayed is caused to generate, and the amount thereof is measured by an oxidation-reduction reaction. The amount of the substance to be assayed is determined from the found value. The sulfonic acid compound may be sodium lauryl sulfate, and the nitro compound may be 4-nitrophenol, etc.

It is intended to provide a method of pre-treating a sample for measuring a saccharified amine to thereby enable highly reliable measurement of the saccharified amine. A saccharified amino acid in the sample is decomposed by treating with fructosyl amino acid oxidase FAOD, then the saccharified amine to be measured contained in the sample is treated with FAOD and the oxidation-reduction reaction is measured to thereby quantify the saccharified amine. The FAOD whereby the saccharified amino acid is treated and the FAOD whereby the saccharified amine is treated may have either the same or different substrate specificities. In case of using the same FAOD, the saccharified amino acid is decomposed by treating with the FAOD and then the FAOD is inactivated with a protease. At the same time, the saccharified amine is decomposed and the same FAOD is added to the decomposition product followed by the measurement of the oxidation-reduction reaction.
摘要:
A method of quantifying hemoglobin whereby the Hb content in a sample can be easily and accurately determined without causing any environmental problem. Hemoglobin in a sample is denatured with a tetrazolium compound and then the optical change of the sample is measured at an absorption wavelength specific to the denatured hemoglobin thus obtained. The hemoglobin content in the sample can be calculated based on the optical change. The measurement wavelength as described above preferably falls within a range of from 520 to 670 nm. According to this method, the Hb content can be determined at a high accuracy, as shown in fig. 1.
摘要:
A method of preventing wrong color formation of N-(carboxymethylaminocarbonyl)-4,4'-bis(dimethylamino)diphenylamine sodium as a color-forming substrate to thereby improve the precision of determination based on an oxidation-reduction reaction with the color-forming substrate. A tetrazolium compound, a sodium azide, and the color-forming substrate are added to a sample in the presence of a surfactant, and that oxidizing substance in the sample which is derived from a substance to be determined is reacted, with the aid of an oxidoreductase, with the color-forming substrate which forms a color upon oxidation. The amount of the oxidizing substance is determined by measuring the amount of the color formed. In the reaction mixture, the amounts of the tetrazolium compound, sodium azide, and surfactant are in the ranges of 0.01 to 1 mmol, 0.003 to 0.5 mmol, and 0.006 to 0.4 mmol, respectively, per µmol of the color-forming substrate. The pH of the reaction mixture is adjusted to 6 to 9.
