Catalytic test composition intended to produce a range of colors

摘要

Test compositions and test devices are provided which are capable of generating different hues at different analyte concentrations. Visual results for clinically important analytes, such as glucose and cholesterol, are provided by use of compositions containing two independent catalytic systems which are reactive with a common substrate generated from the analyte of interest, to produce visual endpoints of different hues for different concentrations of analyte. Preferred formulations provide a RAINBOW of hues, the particular final hue produced depending on the concentration of the analyte.
