Stabilized tetrazolium dye reagent compositions and methods for their use in the measurement of an analyte in a sample are provided. The subject reagent compositions include a tetrazolium dye component, e.g., a water soluble tetrazolium salt, and an effective amount of a nitrite stabilizing agent, e.g., a nitrite salt. In many embodiments, the subject reagent compositions include additional members of an analyte oxidizing signal producing system, such as: an analyte oxidizing enzyme, e.g., an analyte dehydrogenase or an analyte oxidase; an electron transfer agent; and an enzyme cofactor. Also provided are test strips that include the subject reagent compositions, as well as systems and kits incorporating the subject test strips. The subject reagent compositions, test strips, systems and kits find use in the detection of a wide variety of analytes in a sample, such as a physiological sample, e.g., blood or a fraction thereof, or ISF (interstitial fluid).
本发明提供了稳定的四唑鎓染料试剂组合物及其用于测量样品中分析物的方法。所述试剂组合物包括四唑染料成分,例如水溶性四唑盐,以及有效量的亚硝酸盐稳定剂,例如亚硝酸盐。在许多实施方案中,所述试剂组合物包括分析物氧化信号产生系统的其他成员,例如:分析物氧化酶,如分析物脱氢酶或分析物氧化酶;电子传递剂;以及酶辅助因子。此外,还提供了包括主题试剂组合物的试纸,以及包含主题试纸的系统和试剂盒。这些试剂组合物、试纸条、系统和试剂盒可用于检测样品中的各种分析物,如生理样品,如血液或其一部分,或间质液(ISF)。
