Process and reagent for the improved quantitative colorimetic determination of hydrogen peroxide
First Claim
1. A process for colorimetric determination of hydrogen peroxide formed by a hydrogen peroxide producing oxidase which does not produce superoxide comprising adding to a non-superoxide containing sample containing said hydrogen peroxide producing oxidase a chromogenic system and superoxide dismutase in an amount sufficient to increase sensitivity of colorimetric determination of said chromatogenic system.

Abstract
The present invention provides a process for the improved colorimetric determination of hydrogen peroxide as formed by a hydrogen peroxide-producing oxidase, by addition of a chromogenic system and measurement of the colored material formed, wherein superoxide dismutase (E.C. 1.15.1.1) is added to the reagent solution.
The present invention also provides a reagent for the improved colorimetric determination of hydrogen peroxide, comprising a hydrogen peroxide-producing oxidase, a chromogenic system, a buffer and optionally adjuvant enzymes, wherein it also contains superoxide dismutase.
