Abstract
Abstract A multilayer analytical element comprising a water-impermeable, light-transmissive support, a reagent layer containing at least a peroxidase, and a porous spreading layer, which are superposed in this order, in which at least one layer other than said support contains a water-soluble monocarboxylic acid or a salt thereof having solubility of not less than 1 g. in 100 g. of water at 25° C.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
66 words
In a multilayer analytical element comprising a water-impermeable, light-transmissive support, a reagent layer containing at least a peroxidase, and a porous spreading layer, which are superposed in this order, the improvement which comprises at least one layer other than said support containing a water-soluble monocarboxylic acid or a salt thereof having solubility of not less than 1 g. in 100 g. of water at 25° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
66 words
In a multilayer analytical element comprising a water-impermeable, light-transmissive support, a reagent layer containing at least a peroxidase, and a porous spreading layer, which are superposed in this order, the improvement which comprises at least one layer other than said support containing a water-soluble monocarboxylic acid or a salt thereof having solubility of not less than 1 g. in 100 g. of water at 25° C.
