Abstract
Abstract Process for enzymatic determination of glucose with a glucoseoxidase-peroxidase enzyme system involving the use of a reduced acceptor which is oxidized. As reduced acceptor in the enzymatic reaction catalyzed by peroxidase, a ferrocyanide salt is oxidized to ferricyanide; then a further reducing system is introduced, which system is oxidized by the ferricyanide, with the formation of a colored quinone compound, the reaction between ferricyanide and the reducing system taking place spontaneously.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
A PROCESS FOR THE ENZYAMTIC DETERMINATION OF THE AMOUNT OF GLUCOSE PRESENT IN BODY FLUIDS WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS: I. ADDING TO A SAMPLE OF A BODY FLUID AN ENZYMATIC SYSTME CONTAINING GLUCOSE-OXIDASE AND PEROXIDASE, TO WHICH HAS BEEN ADDED SODIUM OR POTASSIUM FERROCYANIDE, II. INCUBATING THE SAMPLE AND ENZYME SYSTEM AT ROOM TEMPERATURE WHEREBY THE FERROCYANIDE IS CONVERTED TO FERRICYANIDE EQUIVALENT TO THE AMOUNT OF GLUCOSE PRESENT IN THE SAMPLE, AND III. REACTING THE FERRICYANIDE WITH A REDUCING SYSTEM WHICH FORMS A COLORED PRODUCT ON OXIDATION, THE COLOR BEING A MEASURE OF THE FERRICYANIDE PRESENT, SAID SYSTEM CONSISTING OF A PHENOLIC COMPOUND AND AN AMINOANTIPYRINE.
