Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 134 words
In a method for the colorimetric determination of enzyme activity in a substance wherein the substance is treated with a mixture of a substrate and color reagent and is then colorimetrically analyzed, the improvement which comprises: the substrate being an aromatic primary amine derivative selected from the group consisting of L-glutamic acid γ-p-dimethylaminoanilide, L-glutamic acid γ-p-diethylaminoanilide, L-glutamic acid γ-p-methoxyanilide, L-glutamic acid γ-p-hydroxyanilide, S-benzyl-L-cysteine p-dimethylaminoanilide, S-benzyl-L-cysteine p-hydroxyanilide, S-benzyl-L-cysteine p-methoxyanilide, L-leucine p-dimethylaminoanilide, L-leucine p-hydroxyanilide, L-leucine p-methoxyanilide and N-benzyl-L-tyrosine p-dimethylaminoanilide and said color reagent is an iron complex selected from the group consisting of sodium pentacyanoammineferroate and potassium pentacyanoammineferroate which is treated with a peroxide selected from the group consisting of sodium periodate, potassium periodate, potassium permanganate and hydrogen peroxide, and wherein said iron complex is further blended with an alkali metal hydrogen-carbonate and low molecular dextran.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 134 words
