Assay utilizing hydrogen peroxide adduct

摘要

Improvement in assays utilizing at least hydrogen peroxide for one analysis reagent is provided. The assay of the present invention employs a stable hydrogen peroxide adduct in dry state which has no adverse effects on the assay, and which has a high hydrogen peroxide-retaining ability. In the assay, an aqueous solution is added to an adduct in dry state of (a) at least one member selected from the group consisting of a carboxylic acid and a salt thereof, phosphoric acid and a salt thereof, and a sulfonic acid and a salt thereof, and (b) hydrogen peroxide to generate peroxide, and the thus generated peroxide is used for the analysis reagent.
