Use of 4'-hydroxy- and 4'-alkoxy-substituted electron transfer agents in compositions, elements, test kits and analytical methods

摘要

Aqueous compositions, test kits, test devices and methods can be used to detect hydrogen peroxide or peroxidase by generating a colorimetric or chemiluminescent signal in the presence of the analyte. Signal generation is enhanced by the presence of certain substituted 4- hydroxy- or 4-alkoxy- substituted phenyl or naphthyl electron transfer agents.
