Abstract
Abstract Luminescence immuno-test kits consist of an antigen or antibody capable of showing luminescence and labelled with phthalic hydrazides, an antibody or antigen preferably bound to a carrier and an oxidizing reagent inducing the luminescence to occur and are characterized in that the oxidizing reagent is a pre-fabricated solution of catalase, optionally stabilized by a bacteriostat, and the initiator is a pre-fabricated peroxide solution which is at least 20 minutes old. These luminescence immuno-tests are particularly stable and may be subjected to a quality control in a simple and inexpensive way.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
60 words
Luminescence immuno-test kit consisting essentially of an antigen or antibody labeled with a phthalic hydrazide capable of showing luminescence, an antibody or antigen and an oxidizing agent inducing the luminescence to occur, characterized in that the oxidizing agent is a pre-fabricated solution of catalase and that an initiator is a pre-fabricated peroxide solution which is at least 20 minutes old.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
60 words
Luminescence immuno-test kit consisting essentially of an antigen or antibody labeled with a phthalic hydrazide capable of showing luminescence, an antibody or antigen and an oxidizing agent inducing the luminescence to occur, characterized in that the oxidizing agent is a pre-fabricated solution of catalase and that an initiator is a pre-fabricated peroxide solution which is at least 20 minutes old.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
