Abstract:
The stabilization of glucose oxidase in liquid reagent compositions for laboratory use is attained by having a phosphate buffer in a concentration of 400 to 3500 mM per liter of the liquid reagent. Such phosphate concentration exceeds by a least 100% that normally used to buffer the pH value.
Abstract:
Spontaneous aspecific coloration in so-called Trinder reagents which can alter subsequent colorimetric determinations is inhibited by adding compounds of the chelating agent class to the solution. The resultant compositions contain a peroxidase enzyme, a phenylpyrazone derivative, a compound of phenolic or aromatic amine structure and a stabilizer. Preferred stablizers are ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA).
