Abstract
The invention is a method for determining the concentration of an analyte in whole blood, wherein the analyte is a component which is contained in the blood, is different from a component occurring only in a red blood cell, and can generate hydrogen peroxide upon the reaction with an oxidase. Whole blood is utilized in the method. The method comprises the steps of hemolyzing the whole blood and detecting hydrogen peroxide generated by the reaction between the analyte and the oxidase. The measurement method can avoid the inhibition of color development by hemoglobin and the interference with the measurement by hemoglobin. Further it can be used for biological tests that are carried out in a household, an individual doctor's clinic or at the bedside of patients without the need for any blood cell separation procedure or the like, because the measurement utilizes whole blood.
