REAGENTS FOR CO 2 DETECTION

摘要

A stabilizer for maintaining a constant level of CO2 in coenzyme-containing enzymatic CO2-diagnostic reagents is disclosed,comprising rate-limiting amounts of (a) the diagnostic reagents and (b) coenzyme-regenerating reagents, e.g., wherein (a) is malate dehydrogenase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and NADH, and (b) is glucose dehydrogenase and glucose, as are methods of use and kits containing a diagnostic reagent and stabilizer.
