Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
32 words
A composition for detecting chloride ion in cow milk, comprising a protected silver chromate colloidal substance, a surface active agent and a buffer agent having a pH value from 2 to 7.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
32 words
A composition for detecting chloride ion in cow milk, comprising a protected silver chromate colloidal substance, a surface active agent and a buffer agent having a pH value from 2 to 7.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A composition according to claim 1, wherein the protected silver chromate colloidal substance is colloidal particles of silver chromate covered by a hydrophilic colloid-forming substance.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A composition according to claim 2, wherein the hydrophilic colloid-forming substance is gum arabic, albumin, gelatin, polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinyl pyrrolidone.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
A method of detecting chloride ion in cow milk, comprising mixing the composition of claim 1 with a test sample of the cow milk, and comparing the color developed in the resultant mixture with a standard color chart which shows color graduations corresponding to differing concentrations of chloride ion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
A composition for detecting chloride ion in cow milk, comprising an absorbent carrier carrying a protected silver chromate colloidal substance, a surface active agent and a buffer agent having a pH value from 2 to 7.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
A composition for detecting chloride ion in cow milk, comprising an absorbent carrier carrying a protected silver chromate colloidal substance, a surface active agent and a buffer agent having a pH value from 2 to 7.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
A composition according to claim 5, wherein the protected silver chromate colloidal substance is colloidal particles of silver chromate covered by a hydrophilic colloid-forming substance.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
A composition according to claim 6, wherein the hydrophilic colloid-forming substance is gum arabic, albumin, gelatin, polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinyl pyrrolidone.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
53 words
A method of detecting chloride ion in cow milk, comprising immersing the composition of claim 5, in the form of a test stick, into the cow milk, and comparing the color developed on the resultant test stick with a standard color chart which shows color graduations corresponding to differing concentrations of chloride ion.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
66 words
A method for producing a test stick for detection of chloride ion in cow milk, comprising impregnating an absorbent carrier with a solution of a protected silver chromate colloidal substance, drying the impregnated carrier on a plate, immersing the dried carrier in a solution containing a surface active agent and a buffer agent having a pH value from 2 to 7, and drying the resultant carrier.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
66 words
A method for producing a test stick for detection of chloride ion in cow milk, comprising impregnating an absorbent carrier with a solution of a protected silver chromate colloidal substance, drying the impregnated carrier on a plate, immersing the dried carrier in a solution containing a surface active agent and a buffer agent having a pH value from 2 to 7, and drying the resultant carrier.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
85 words
A method according to claim 9, wherein the solution of the protected silver chromate colloidal substance is obtained by the dropwise addition of a solution of 1-2 parts by weight of silver nitrate in 100-150 parts by weight of distilled water to a solution of 0.5-2 parts by weight of a chromate and 1-2 parts by weight of a protective colloidal substance in 100-150 parts by weight of distilled water, said addition being carried out while stirring said solution of chromate and protective colloidal substance.
