An integral multilayer analytical element for the determination of ammonia or an ammonia-producing substance comprising a light-transmissive liquid-impermeable support, an indicator layer containing an indicator which produces a detectable change by gaseous ammonia, a liquid permeation barrier layer, a reagent layer containing an alkaline buffer and optionally a reagent capable of reacting with a substance to produce ammonia and a spreading layer laminated in this order, which is improved by that the indicator layer contains a polyvinyl alkyl ether, and/or which is improved by that the surface of said support facing toward the indicator layer is undercoated with a polyvinyl alkyl ether, a hydroxyalkyl cellulose, an alkyl cellulose, polystyrene, a polyalkyl methacrylate, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinyl pyrrolidone, substantially not containing ammonia and ammonium ion. By using the above analytical element, ammonia or an ammonia-producing substance can be analyzed at a high coloring optical density and a high accuracy. The measuring accuracy is further improved by lowering the background optical density.
