The interference of dehydroascorbic acid, an oxidation product of ascorbic acid, in analytical methods is reduced with the use of certain nitrogen-containing organic buffers. Dehydroascorbic acid tends to cause premature reduction of reducible compounds which are used to provide detectable species in the presence of an analyte. These organic buffers, as opposed to inorganic buffers, prevent premature reduction of the reducible compounds. An analytical method can be carried out in solution or in a dry analytical element. |
