METHOD FOR ANALYSIS FOR COMPONENT TO BE ASSAYED

摘要

The present invention provides a method for analyzing a specimen for a component contained therein, the method being characterized by converting a component to be assayed that is contained in the specimen into hydrogen peroxide and determining the amount of the yielded hydrogen peroxide using a chromogen which assumes a color upon oxidation, in the presence of an a-keto acid. Also provided is a method for inhibiting the influence of peroxides in a method in which a component to be assayed that is contained in a specimen is converted into hydrogen peroxide and the amount of the yielded hydrogen peroxide is determined using a chromogen which assumes a color upon oxidation, the inhibition method being characterized by using an a-keto acid. With the analysis method and inhibition method in which an a-keto acid is used, the influence of peroxides is inhibited and the amount of a component to be assayed that is contained in a specimen can be accurately determined.
