Abstract
The present invention involves an improved test system for the determination of glucose in aqueous fluids of the type which comprises glucose oxidase, a peroxidatively active substance and chromogen. The improvement involves the use of m-anisidine as a chromogen which permits the semi-quantitative determination of glucose at higher concentrations than is possible with previously used chromogens.
Claims6
In a test composition capable of the determination of the presence of glucose in a liquid test sample, wherein said composition comprises glucose oxidase, a peroxidatively active substance and one or more chromogens reactive with hydrogen peroxide, and wherein the components of the composition are present together as a solution and are present in amounts and proportions such that the composition is capable of differentiating between concentrations of 2,000 and 5,000 milligrams of glucose per deciliter, the improvement which involves the use of m-anisidine as a chromogen.
