The present invention provides an immobilization medium which can immobilize bioreagents to support materials and which dries to a water resistant layer or film. The immobilization medium comprises (i) a liquid or fluid binding reagent and (ii) complexes of a bioreagent immobilized to a solid phase which are evenly dispersed within the binding reagent. The suspension can further include supplemental ingredients evenly dispersed throughout the medium which can provide the medium with electrochemical properties, enhance the stability of the immobilized bioreagent and/or improve the medium's capability of drying to a substantially water resistant or insoluble layer. The immobilization medium provided by the instant invention is in the form of a homogeneous liquid suspension.

Bioreagent immobilization medium

Detection of lead present in a sample, comprising the steps of: (a) adding a lead recovery agent to an assay solution containing lead from the sample; (b) adding to the assay solution a disulfide enzyme which is inhibited in the presence of lead; and (c) correlating the activity of the disulfide enzyme to the amount of lead in the sample. The lead recovery agent enhances the sensitivity and accuracy of the assay such that the assay can be readily automated for detection of lead in whole blood using commercially available automation systems.

Automated lead assay

A method and kit for simplifying and improving the sensitivity and accuracy of a lead assay for a sample solution suspected of containing lead determines the extent of a reaction between a substrate and a disulfide enzyme in the presence of an activating reagent which contains a water-soluble tertiary phosphine reagent so as to increase the activity of the disulfide enzyme for reaction with the substrate. For a colorimetric determination of the enzyme activity a chromophore is formed upon reaction with a selected component of the sample solution in the presence of a colorimetric enhancing reagent. The colorimetric enhancing reagent contains a metal ion such as cupric ion or ferric ion which is soluble in the sample solution. The extent of the chromophore formation is then photometrically determined.
