Abstract
Diagnostic beads for the detection of occult blood in animal excreta, especially for use in a cat litter. The beads comprise a particulate material and a detection composition attached to the particulate material. The detection composition comprises a chromogen, a peroxide, an enhancer, a stabilizer, and a binder, the chromogen being selected to react with occult blood in the animal excreta so as to produce a visible and immediate color change when excreta containing blood comes into contact with the diagnostic beads

Diagnostic beads for the detection of occult blood in animal excreta, especially for use in an animal litter, comprising a particulate material and a detection composition attached to said particulate material, wherein the detection composition comprises a chromogen, a peroxide, an enhancer, a stabilizer, and a binder, said chromogen being selected to react with occult blood in the animal excreta so as to produce a visible and immediate color change when excreta containing blood comes into contact with said diagnostic beads.
Diagnostic beads according to claim 11, wherein the binder is a starch derivative.
A method for producing diagnostic beads useful for the detection of occult blood in animal excreta, comprising producing a detection composition and applying said detection composition to a particulate material, wherein the detection composition comprises a chromogen, a peroxide, an enhancer, a stabilizer, and a binder, said chromogen being selected to react to occult blood in animal excreta so as to produce a visible color change when excreta containing blood comes into contact with said diagnostic beads.
A method for producing diagnostic beads useful for the detection of occult blood in animal excreta, comprising producing a detection composition, combining said detection solution with a particulate material and at least one binder, and producing diagnostic beads through a granulation process, wherein the detection composition comprises a chromogen, a peroxide, an enhancer, a stabilizer, and a binder, said chromogen being selected to react to occult blood in animal excreta so as to produce a visible color change when excreta containing blood comes into contact with said diagnostic beads.
