Abstract
A reagent and improved process for the determination of D-glucose in body fluids by reaction with ATP in the presence of hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, NADP, Mg.sup.++ ions and buffer and measurement of the NADPH formed. The improved process requires, before reaction with ATP, the mixing of the whole blood with a reagent which is composed of 0.01 to 0.5% weight/volume of an alkyl sulphate or sulphonate or of an alkyl-aryl sulphonate wherein the alkyl moiety is C.sub.8 to C.sub.32 and optionally contains one or more hydroxylalkylamino radicals as substituents and/or is interrupted by one or more ether oxygen atoms and the alkyl-aryl radicals having C.sub.8 to C.sub.18 alkyls and optionally a preserving agent.
