A composition and an assay solution for the determination of dissolved borate concentration comprising a catechol dye, a solubilizing agent, and a buffer are described. The composition and assay solution may further comprise a solubilizing agent. The catechol dye acts as a chemical borate sensor. The chemical borate sensor changes its optical properties upon binding to borate. The multivalent cation chelator binds multivalent cations present in a sample being analyzed. The buffer prevents changes in pH. The solubilizing agent aids in solubilizing the catechol dye, multivalent cation chelator, and/or the buffer. |
