1. A method for the determination of NAD(P)H comprising the steps of:

  • reacting a chromogen represented by formula (I);

    ##STR8## wherein Y is hydrogen or hydroxyl;

    R1, R2 and R3 are independently selected from the group consisting of (II), (III) and (IV);

    ##STR9## wherein Z is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydroxyl, optionally substituted amino, optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, optionally substituted aryl, acyl, halogen, nitro, suflo, carboxyl and alkoxy, wheren n is 1, 2 or 3 and the optional substituent is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, alkoxy, hydroxyl, carboxyl, sulfo, sulfonyl, halogen, amino, alkoxycarbonylamino, alkoxycarbonyl, aminoalkyl, acyl and nitro;

    provided that at least one Z in R1, R2 and R3 is hydroxyl or optionally substituted amino;

    with NAD(P)H in the presence of (1) peroxidase or thiol oxide reductase and (2) diaphorase or an electron carrier;

    determining the pigment thus formed, said pigment being determined in the absence of Mn2+ or Co2+ ion; and

    determining NAD(P)H from a calibration curve.
