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).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for calibrating an instrument for the analysis of blood gases which possesses ion-sensitive electrodes and gas-sensitive electrodes and is used for the determination, in a biological fluid, of the concentration of electrolytes and metabolites in solution, and of the pH, pO 2 and pCO 2 , the said calibration being carried out with at least one buffered solution containing O 2 , a known or tonometer-measured amount of CO 2 and known concentrations of the electrolytes and metabolites to be determined, in which calibration the pO 2 titre is determined beforehand using atmospheric oxygen as reference.
