Abstract

Abstract A urobilinogen control standard composition, control standard device and a method for preparing such composition are disclosed. The composition comprises a substituted indole:nonionic detergent solution which is reactive with p-diethylaminobenzaldehyde and hydrochloric acid. The composition is produced by dissolving the substituted indole in a selected nonionic detergent and diluting the solution to a predetermined level. The device is a carrier matrix impregnated with a solution of a substituted indole and a nonionic detergent.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 130 words
A method of preparing a substantially odor-free urobilinogen-free urobilinogen control standard for use in testing for the presence of urobilinogen in a urine sample which closely simulates the properties of a urobilinogen-containing urine sample when reacted with a urobilinogen assay system, which comprises dissolving a substituted indole having the formula: ##STR2## wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are H or unsubstituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl, and R 3 is H, unsubstituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl, unsubstituted C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, or halogen with the proviso that R 1 , R 2 and R 3 cannot simultaneously be hydrogen, in a nonionic detergent selected from the group consisting of an alkanolamide, an ethoxy alkanolamide, and ethoxy phenol and an ethoxy fatty alcohol.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 130 words
A method of preparing a substantially odor-free urobilinogen-free urobilinogen control standard for use in testing for the presence of urobilinogen in a urine sample which closely simulates the properties of a urobilinogen-containing urine sample when reacted with a urobilinogen assay system, which comprises dissolving a substituted indole having the formula: ##STR2## wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are H or unsubstituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl, and R 3 is H, unsubstituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl, unsubstituted C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, or halogen with the proviso that R 1 , R 2 and R 3 cannot simultaneously be hydrogen, in a nonionic detergent selected from the group consisting of an alkanolamide, an ethoxy alkanolamide, and ethoxy phenol and an ethoxy fatty alcohol.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the substituted indole is selected from the group consisting of 2-methylindole, 1,2-dimethylindole, 2,5-dimethylindole, 2-methyl-5-methoxy indole and 5-methoxyindole.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 12 words
A method as claimed in claim 2 wherein the indole is 2,5-dimethylindole.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 15 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the urobilinogen assay system is p-diethylaminobenzaldehyde-hydrochloric acid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 28 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein after the substituted indole is dissolved in said detergent, the solution is solidified to form a solid urobilinogen control standard.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 32 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein after the substituted indole is dissolved in said detergent, the solution is solidified and added to water to form a liquid urobilinogen control standard.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 92 words
A urobilinogen-free urobilinogen control standard which comprises a compound of the formula: ##STR3## wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are H or unsubstituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl, and R 3 is H, unsubstituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl, unsubstituted C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, or halogen with the proviso that R 1 , R 2 and R 3 cannot simultaneously be hydrogen, with a nonionic detergent selected from the group consisting of an alkanolamide, an ethoxy alkanolamide, an ethoxy phenol and an ethoxy fatty alcohol.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 92 words
A urobilinogen-free urobilinogen control standard which comprises a compound of the formula: ##STR3## wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are H or unsubstituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl, and R 3 is H, unsubstituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl, unsubstituted C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, or halogen with the proviso that R 1 , R 2 and R 3 cannot simultaneously be hydrogen, with a nonionic detergent selected from the group consisting of an alkanolamide, an ethoxy alkanolamide, an ethoxy phenol and an ethoxy fatty alcohol.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 33 words
A urobilinogen control standard as claimed in claim 7 wherein the nonionic detergent is selected from the group consisting of an alkanolamide, an ethoxy alkanolamide, an ethoxy phenol and an ethoxy fatty alcohol.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 14 words
A urobilinogen control standard as claimed in claim 8 wherein the indole is 2,5-dimethylindole.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 18 words
A urobilinogen control standard as claimed in claim 8 wherein the indole:detergent solid solution is dissolved in water.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 22 words
A urobilinogen-free urobilinogen control standard device which comprises a carrier and, incorporated therewith, a predetermined amount of the composition of claim 7.
