TESTMATERIALE TIL BESTEMMELSE AF NAERVAERELSEN AF EN ION I EN VANDIG TESTPROEVE SAMT DETTES ANVENDELSE

摘要

A test means, test device and method for use for determining the presence of an ion in a test sample are dislosed. The test means comprises a substantially nonpolar, nonporous carrier matrix incorporated with an ionophore capable of forming a complex with the specific ion, and a reporter substance capable of interacting with the complex of ionophore and ion to produce a detectable response. The test device comprises an elongated support member having a upper, substantially flat face to which is affixed the test means. The test means and test device are used by contacting either with the test sample, and observing a detectable response.
