ABSTRACT:
A method and composition for the enzymatic assay of liquid test sample, such as urine or serum, for a specific analyte, such as glucose. The method utilizes a dry phase test strip comprising a carrier matrix impregnated with a stabilized enzyme reagent composition including an oxidase enzyme, such as glucose oxidase, that is capable of interacting with the analyte of interest; a chromogen that changes color in response to the analyte-oxidase enzyme interaction to reveal the presence and/or concentration of the analyte in the test sample; and a stabilizer, such as a hydrazide, like GIRARD'S Reagent T, or an amino acid, like arginine, or an amino acid derivative, like the tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane salt of glutamic acid, to improve the heat stability and shelf life of the dry phase test strip.
