STERILISABLE CHEMISTRY FOR TEST ELEMENTS

摘要

The element has a chemical detection reagent comprising components such as polypeptide e.g. nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-based glucose dehydrogenase or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, or coenzyme and optical indicator, which are sensitive against ionized radiation. The element is subjected to sterilization, and the components exist in a functional form after the sterilization at proportion of greater than or equal to 90 percentage with respect to complete quantity of the components in the element before the sterilization. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a diagnostic element.
