Reagent test strips and methods for their use in the determination of the concentration of an analyte, e.g. glucose, in a physiological sample, are provided. The subject reagent test strips include one or more members of an analyte oxidation signal producing system and at least one hemolyzing agent. The subject reagent test strips and methods are particularly suited for use in the detection of blood glucose concentrations. Also provided are kits that include the subject test strips for use in practicing the subject methods.

Reagent test strip for analyte determination having a hemolyzing agent

Methods for determining the concentration of an analyte, e.g. glucose, in a physiological sample, are provided. The subject methods use reagent test strips which include one or more members of an analyte oxidation signal producing system and at least one hemolyzing agent. The subject methods are particularly suited for use in the detection of blood glucose concentrations.

8-(anilino)-1-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) analogs and methods for their use in analyte detection assays are provided. The subject ANS analogs are characterized by having at least one non-hydrogen substituent on their phenyl moiety and producing a reaction product with 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrchloride (MBTH) or an analog thereof, e.g. MBTHSB, that exhibits reduced drift. In certain preferred embodiments, the subject ANS analogs are described by the formula:
