A method of applying an organic acid reagent having limited transolubility in organic solvents, aqueous solvents, and mixtures thereof to a component of a diagnostic test device by mixing an organic acid reagent and an amine to form a salt complex, dissolving the salt complex in a solvent to release the organic acid reagent into the solvent, and applying the solvent to the component of the diagnostic test device such that the organic acid reagent present in the solvent becomes integrated into the diagnostic test device. The amine is represented by the formula H
m
NR
n
wherein m is 0, 1, or 2; n is 1, 2, or 3; the sum of m and n is 3; and R is an independently selected group which renders the salt complex soluble in aqueous solvents, organic solvents, or mixtures thereof. The amine is also represented by the formula NR
4
+
wherein R is an independently selected group which renders the salt complex soluble in aqueous solvents, organic solvents, or mixtures thereof. The organic acid reagent is selected from a carboxylic acid, a sulfonic acid, a phosphoric acid, and mixtures thereof. Preferred reagents are dyes like pyragallol red. In a specific embodiment the diagnostic test device is a paper test strip.
一种将在有机溶剂、
水性溶剂及其混合物中具有有限转溶性的有机酸试剂应用于诊断检测设备部件的方法,其方法是将有机酸试剂和胺混合形成盐络合物,将盐络合物溶解在溶剂中以将有机酸试剂释放到溶剂中,然后将溶剂应用于诊断检测设备部件,使存在于溶剂中的有机酸试剂融入诊断检测设备中。胺用式 H
m
NR
n
其中 m 为 0、1 或 2;n 为 1、2 或 3;m 和 n 之和为 3;R 为独立选择的基团,该基团可使盐复合物溶于
水溶剂、有机溶剂或其混合物中。胺也可由式 NR
