Abstract
A dry analytical element for use in detecting a specific component contained in a liquid, which element comprises one or more water permeable layers provided on a water impermeable support, at least one layer of the water-permeable layers containing a composition capable of interacting with said specific component contained in said liquid. The composition contains a leuco dye and a dispersion containing said leuco dye is incorporated in the water-permeable layer, which is formed by dissolving the leuco dye in a hydrophobic solvent containing an aliphatic higher alcohol and dispersing the resulting solution in a hydrophilic medium. The leuco dye has the formula: ##STR1## where R.sup.1 represents an unsubstituted or substituted aryl group, R.sup.2 represents an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, and R.sup.3 represents an unsubstituted or substituted aryl group. A process for producing said dry analytical element is also disclosed.
