A blood test containerhaving a closed-bottom tubular container, a closed-bottom second tubular container having a diameter smaller than that of the tubular containerfor accommodation therein, and a blood test reagentsecured onto at least one of an inner face of the tubular container and an outer face of the second tubular container. A blood test method comprising, in sequence, introducing blood into any one of the aforementioned blood test containersand allowing the blood or its component to contact the blood test reagent

Blood test container

Immunoassay reagent and immunoassay method

A blood test container which facilitate the procedures starting from blood collection and ending with measurement of various components present in the blood while eliminating a risk for a tester to come into contact with the blood. A blood test container 1 having a closed-bottom tubular container 2, a closed-bottom second tubular container having a diameter smaller than that of the tubular container 2 for accommodation therein, and a blood test reagent 3 secured onto at least one of an inner face of the tubular container and an outer face of the second tubular container.

An eliminating agent used for the measurement of the amount of glycosylated hemoglobins in a blood sample is provided. The eliminating agent comprises condensed phosphoric acids and/or the salts thereof as the main ingredient, wherein the agent eliminates labile glycosylated hemoglobin A.sub.1c into non-glycosylated hemoglobin and glucose. There is also provided a reagent comprising the eliminating agent and a hemolysis agent, which is used for the measurement of the amount of glycosylated hemoglobins; and an eluent comprising the eliminating agent, which is used for the separation of glycosylated hemoglobins in blood samples by ion-exchange chromatography to measure the amount of the glycosylated hemoglobins. A method for measuring the amount of glycosylated hemoglobin A.sub.1c in a blood sample involves the use of the eliminating agent, the reagent comprising the eliminating agent and the hemolysis agent, and/or the eluent.
