Abstract
Abstract An enzymatic substrate adsorbed on a solid carrier with a large specific surface area of over 50 m 2 /g. The enzymatic substrate shall be stable in the absence of the corresponding enzyme and essentially non-soluble in water. The substrate containing layer surrounding the carrier may also comprise diluents and thickeners. The substrate-carrier together with an enzyme and a pH indicating substance is also useful as a time-temperature indicating device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A carrier-substrate combination, comprising 1. a solid granular carrier with a specific surface area of at least 50 m 2 /g; and 2. a substrate-containing layer in which said substrate is an enzymatic substrate capable of undergoing an enzymatic reaction, said layer derived by impregnation of the carrier with a substrate-containing non-aqueous liquid and fixedly bound to said carrier by adsorption; said substrate being present in the carrier-substrate combination in an amount of at least 25% by weight of the carrier-substrate combination; said substrate having a solubility of less than 0.1% by weight in water at 20° C and being stable and free from hydrolysis and dissolution in the absence of its specific enzyme; and said carrier being inert to said substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
A carrier-substrate combination, comprising 1. a solid granular carrier with a specific surface area of at least 50 m 2 /g; and 2. a substrate-containing layer in which said substrate is an enzymatic substrate capable of undergoing an enzymatic reaction, said layer derived by impregnation of the carrier with a substrate-containing non-aqueous liquid and fixedly bound to said carrier by adsorption; said substrate being present in the carrier-substrate combination in an amount of at least 25% by weight of the carrier-substrate combination; said substrate having a solubility of less than 0.1% by weight in water at 20° C and being stable and free from hydrolysis and dissolution in the absence of its specific enzyme; and said carrier being inert to said substrate.
