A method of detecting hydrolase activity using as substrates the compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein each of R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, or phenyl optionally substituted in the meta- or para- position by C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy or mono- or di-(C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)-alkylamino, or optionally substituted by an O-X group in which X is a glycosyl, phosphate or acyl moiety of a natural substrate of the corresponding glycosidase, phosphatase or esterase.

Agents for the detection of substrates with hydrolase activity

A process for the detection of substances with hydrolase activity in a sample by mixing the sample with a hydrolase substrate and an oxidising agent, and the evaluating the resultant colour intensity, wherein, as hydrolase substrate, there is used at least one compound of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen or an alkoxy radical,

Agent for the detection of substances with hydrolase activity

An apparatus for determining an analyte in a sample, as well as a method for carrying this out, are disclosed. The apparatus utilizes a first zone containing a labeled substance, and a second zone which permits separation of a mobile detectable moiety from unreacted reaction component. Detectable moiety is the product of reaction between reaction component and labeled substance.

Apparatus for determining an analyte and method therefor

A process for the detection of substances with hydrolase activity in a sample by mixing the sample with a hydrolase substrate and an oxidizing agent, and the evaluating the resultant color intensity, wherein, as hydrolase substrate, there is used at least one compound of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen or an alkoxy radical,

Process for the detection of substances with hydrolase activity

This invention relates to apparatus useful in determining a component or components of a test sample, as well as methods using these apparatus. Of particular interest are apparatus and methods which involve formation and determination of quarternary complexes.

Apparatus for determination of a component in a sample

The present invention provides a process for the detection of an analyte, wherein a sample containing the analyte is incubated either with a labelled binding partner and the immobilized analyte or an immobilized analyte analogue or with the labelled analyte or analyte analogue and an immobilized binding partner, the binding partner displaying towards the immobilized or labelled analyte or analyte analogue a higher affinity than towards the free analyte, and the labelled binding partner or the labelled analyte or the labelled analyte analogue is present in insufficiency compared with the concentration of the analyte to be detected. The present invention also provides an agent for carrying out this process, wherein it contains either the immobilized analyte or an immobilized analyte analogue and a labelled binding partner or the labelled analyte or a labelled analyte analogue and an immobilized binding partner, as well as optionally an appropriate buffer system and further conventionally used adjuvants, the binding partner displaying towards the immobilized or labelled analyte or analyte analogue a higher affinity than towards the free analyte.
