An integral multilayer analytical element for the measurement of alkaline phosphatase activity, which comprises a porous spreading layer containing a self-developable substrate in response to contact with alkaline phosphatase, a buffer layer containing a diffusion-resistant base and a support in a laminated form.

Integral multilayer analytical element for measurement of alkaline

Disclosed in an integral multilayer analysis element comprising in order, first at least one reagent layer and second a porous spreading layer laminated on a light-transmissive water-impermeable support, wherein a fluorine-containing surfactant is incorporated at least in said spreading layer. The element is especially suitable for clinical examination of an aqueous liquid sample of a human humor such as blood, lymphatic liquid, saliva, urine, etc. By the incorporation of the F-containing surfactant, the spreadable area can be controlled over a broad range of the spotting amount of a sample liquid without interfering with the metering function of the spreading layer.

Integral multilayer analysis element

An analytical element for quantitative analysis of analyte contained in a body fluid or the like, which has at least one reagent layer comprising a reactive reagent and a binder, characterized in that a portion or whole of the binder is a polycarboxylic acid carrying a nonionic surface active agent attached through ester linkage to at least a portion of the carboxyl groups contained therein.

Analytical element for analysis of an analyte

A multilayer analytical element for analysis of analyte in a liquid sample comprising a liquid sample-spreading layer, a reagent layer containing a diazonium salt, and a liquid-impermeable light-transmissive support, being laminated in this order, in which said reagent layer contains a sulfonic acid group-containing polymer having at least 10 molar % of a repeating unit selected from those consisting of a sulfoalkyl group and sulfophenyl group. The analytical element can be an element comprising a porous reagent layer containing a diazonium salt and the liquid-impermeable light-transmissive support, being laminated in this order.

Multilayer analytical element

In a photochemical immunological assay, an antigen or antibody is labelled with a spectral sensitizer or fogging agent for photographic use, and then an immune reaction is caused. The resulting reaction mixture is dropwise added to a multilayer analysis sheet. After either one of the labelled antigen or antibody (F) or the labelled antigen-antibody bound product (B) is brought into contact with silver halide by passing either one through a B/F separating layer provided in the multilayer analysis sheet, the analysis sheet is exposed with a light that the spectral sensitizer or fogging agent absorbs. Then, the resulting optical density obtained by development processing when a spectral sensitizer is used, or without development processing when a fogging agent is used is measured. The multilayer analysis sheet comprises a support having provided thereon a silver halide layer and a B/F separating layer and makes the photochemical immunological assay simpler and more accurate.

Method for immunological assay using multilayer analysis sheet

In a method for the immunological analysis of trace components by marking or labelling an antigen or antibody with a marker, an immune reaction is caused using an antigen or antibody marked with a fogging agent for silver halide, the labelled antigen or antibody is separated from the labelled antigen-antibody reaction product, the silver halide is developed in the presence of either one of the labelled antigen or antibody and the labelled antigen-antibody reaction product, and the density obtained is measured. The method is comparable to radioimmunoassay in having high reproductibility and sufficient sensitivity but does not involve any risk due to radiation.
