ABSTRACT:
The stability of a cholinesterase (particularly a cholinesterase solution impregnated into a porous material and air-dried) can be improved by: (a) buffering the cholinesterase solution with a zwitterionic buffer, e.g. a buffer having a sulfonic acid group and a protonatable amine group, and, preferably, (b) further drying the impregnated, air-dried porous material under a high vacuum (e.g. 0.01 mm Hg or less) at normal ambient temperatures. The most useful porous materials are sheet-like in nature; that is, they have only two major surfaces. An impregnated, sheet-like material of this invention can be used in a cholinesterase inhibitor detector kit. A typical kit of this type provides a simple means for detecting, inter alia, environmental cholinesterase-inhibiting pollutant, e.g. organophosphorous pesticides and nerve agents.
