Abstract
Abstract Improved test compositions, devices and methods are provided for detecting peroxidatively active substances in body fluids, body excreta and the like. The test compositions include an indicator or chromogen capable of being oxidized in the presence of a peroxidatively active substance to provide a color change, an oxidizing agent effective to oxidize said indicator or chromogen, and as a potentiating agent capable of enhancing the color obtained, a compound of the formula: <IMAGE> (1) wherein R1 is hydrogen, a lower alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or hydroxy, and R2, R3 and R4 are independently selected from hydrogen or a lower alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; provided that at most only one R group is substituted.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
A test composition for detection of peroxidatively active substances in body fluids, body excreta, and the like, of the type including an indicator capable of being oxidized in the presence of a peroxidatively active substance to provide color change, an oxidizing agent effective to oxidize said indicator, and a potentiating agent, wherein said potentiating agent comprises a compound having the formula: ##STR4## wherein R 1 is hydrogen, a lower alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or hydroxy, and R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are independently selected from hydrogen or a lower alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; provided that at most only one R group is substituted.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
114 words
A test composition for detection of peroxidatively active substances in body fluids, body excreta, and the like, of the type including an indicator capable of being oxidized in the presence of a peroxidatively active substance to provide color change, an oxidizing agent effective to oxidize said indicator, and a potentiating agent, wherein said potentiating agent comprises a compound having the formula: ##STR4## wherein R 1 is hydrogen, a lower alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or hydroxy, and R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are independently selected from hydrogen or a lower alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; provided that at most only one R group is substituted.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A composition according to claim 1 in which the potentiating agent is 6-nitroquinoline.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
A composition according to claim 1 in which the potentiating agent is 1-ethyl-6-nitroquinoline.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
A composition according to claim 1 in which the potentiating agent is 3-methyl-6-nitroquinoline.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
98 words
A test device for detecting peroxidatively active substances in body fluids, body excreta, and the like, of the type having a carrier matrix incorporated with an oxidizing agent, an indicator and a potentiating agent, wherein said potentiating agent comprises a compound of the general formula: ##STR5## wherein R 1 is hydrogen, a lower alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or hydroxy, and R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are independently selected from hydrogen or a lower alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; provided that at most only one R group is substituted.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
98 words
A test device for detecting peroxidatively active substances in body fluids, body excreta, and the like, of the type having a carrier matrix incorporated with an oxidizing agent, an indicator and a potentiating agent, wherein said potentiating agent comprises a compound of the general formula: ##STR5## wherein R 1 is hydrogen, a lower alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or hydroxy, and R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are independently selected from hydrogen or a lower alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; provided that at most only one R group is substituted.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
The test device of claim 5 in which the carrier matrix is a bibulous cellulose paper matrix.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
64 words
A method for detecting minor amounts of peroxidatively active substance in body fluids, body excreta, and the like, which method comprises contacting a test sample of the body fluids or excreta with the carrier matrix of a test device as claimed in claim 5 and observing a color formation thereon as an indication of the presence of a peroxidatively active substance in said sample.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
14 words
A method according to claim 7 wherein the peroxidatively active substance is occult blood.
