R 5 and R 6 each represent a hydrogen atom or a sulfoalkyl group of the following formula II: --(CH.sub.2).sub.n SO.sub.3 H (II) wherein n represents an integer of 1 to 6, with the proviso that either R 5 and R 6 represents a sulfoalkyl group and the sulfoalkyl group may be substituted with at least 1, preferably 1 to 2 hydroxyl groups. This composition has a high solubility in water and is usable over a wide pH range and for the preparation of both a test solution and a test piece. Various modifications of the composition are possible. Therefore, by using the composition, components of a body fluid can be assayed quantitatively in a precise, easy and rapid manner.
