摘要:
An element for the analysis or transport of liquid, especially aqueous liquids, contains a structure comprising a plurality of heat-stable, organo-polymeric particles non-swellable in and impermeable to the liquid, and an adhesive concentrated at particle surface areas contiguous to adjacent particles bonding the particles into a coherent, three-dimensional lattice that is non-swellable in the liquid. A substantial portion of the particle surface area in this lattice structure is therefore effectively free from adhesive. The lattice structure has interconnected void spaces among the particles representing a total void volume of about 25 to 80 percent to provide for transport of the liquid. The adhesive comprises an organic polymer different from that of the particles and insoluble in the liquid under analysis. The amount of adhesive in the structure is less than 10 weight percent of the particles.The particulate structure of these elements can contain interactive compositions useful for the analysis of various substances in liquids, especially high molecular weight proteinaceous substances in aqueous biological liquids. Multi-zone elements containing, in fluid contact, at least two zones having a particulate structure as described above or one such zone together with other functional zones are also disclosed.

摘要:
A new peroxidase assay for substances demonstrating peroxidative activity is described which is based on the peroxidase catalyzed oxidation of dichlorofluorescin to dichlorofluorescein by peroxide. The dichlorofluorescin is formed from diacetyldichlorofluorescin either by the direct addition of peroxide or by the inclusion of a peroxide generating system (e.g., glucose plus glucose oxidase or uric acid and uricase) in the reaction mixture. As long as all reactants other than the peroxidase are present in excess, the rate of fluorescence increase is linearly related to the amount of peroxidase in the sample under assay.

摘要:
Methods, compositions and elements for detecting a nitrogen-containing compound capable of releasing ammonia upon enzymatic action are described. The method comprises contacting in an aqueous medium a sample suspected of containing such a compound and a novel assay composition comprising at least one enzyme which catalyzes the decomposition of the compound to ammonia and detecting the ammonia by condensation with a .beta.-diketone in the presence of an aldehyde, preferably formaldehyde, and measuring the color or fluorescence produced by any resulting dihydropyridine. According to a preferred embodiment, the aldehyde is generated in situ and the .beta.-diketone is polymeric.The foregoing assay composition can be incorporated into single-layer or multilayer analytical elements of the type known in the prior art. A preferred such element comprises an isotropically porous spreading layer in fluid contact with a reagent layer. The spreading layer is most preferably non-fibrous.
