MITTEL ZUR VERRINGERUNG DER STOERUNGEN DURCH ASCORBAT BEI REAGENS-SYSTEMEN UND DARAUF BEZOGENES VERFAHRENS

摘要

The present invention is directed to an agent and method for eliminating ascorbate interference in reagent systems, particularly assay systems using oxidase/peroxidase coupled reactions or similar type redox chemistry. The present invention can also be used in reagent systems involving enzyme/substrate reactions in which the substrate is sensitive to reductants such as ascorbate. The agents of this invention comprise water insoluble cerium (IV) compounds.
