COMPOSITION AND ELEMENT FOR DETECTING PEROXIDE ACTIVE SUBSTANCE AND ANALYSING METHOD USING SAME

摘要

A new peroxidase assay for substances demonstrating peroxidative activity is described which is based on the peroxidase catalyzed oxidation of dichlorofluorescin to dichlorofluorescein by peroxide. The dichlorofluorescin is formed from diacetyldichlorofluorescin either by the direct addition of peroxide or by the inclusion of a peroxide generating system (e.g., glucose plus glucose oxidase or uric acid and uricase) in the reaction mixture. As long as all reactants other than the peroxidase are present in excess, the rate of fluorescence increase is linearly related to the amount of peroxidase in the sample under assay.
