Abstract

Abstract The present invention provides a dry reagent for blood coagulation tests in which an at least partial course of the coagulation cascade takes place, comprising a carrier material which contains a chromophoric substrate of a protease of the blood coagulation system, at least one factor and/or co-factor of the blood coagulation system and a buffer.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim 150 words
Test strip useful in carrying out a Quick Test, a partial prothromboplastin time test, or in an analysis of one of prothrombin, Factor VII, Factor VIII, Factor IX and Factor X, comprising: (i) a carrier material containing (ii) a protease which reacts with prothrombin, Factor VII, Factor VIII, Factor IX or Factor X to yield an activated protease; (iii) a chromophoric protease substrate cleavable by said activated protease in a reaction which does not change the course of the intrinsic or extrinsic coagulation cascade system of blood in the presence of said carrier material, (iv) a buffer, and (v) at least one additional member of the intrinsic or extrinsic coagulation cascade system, wherein said protease reacts with prothrombin, Factor VII, Factor VIII, Factor IX or Factor X in a reaction which is part of the intrinsic or extrinsic coagulation cascade system wherein (ii), (v) are dried on said carrier material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 150 words
Test strip useful in carrying out a Quick Test, a partial prothromboplastin time test, or in an analysis of one of prothrombin, Factor VII, Factor VIII, Factor IX and Factor X, comprising: (i) a carrier material containing (ii) a protease which reacts with prothrombin, Factor VII, Factor VIII, Factor IX or Factor X to yield an activated protease; (iii) a chromophoric protease substrate cleavable by said activated protease in a reaction which does not change the course of the intrinsic or extrinsic coagulation cascade system of blood in the presence of said carrier material, (iv) a buffer, and (v) at least one additional member of the intrinsic or extrinsic coagulation cascade system, wherein said protease reacts with prothrombin, Factor VII, Factor VIII, Factor IX or Factor X in a reaction which is part of the intrinsic or extrinsic coagulation cascade system wherein (ii), (v) are dried on said carrier material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 60 words
The test strip of claim 1 further comprising a second carrier material comprising an oxidizing agent, and said first carrier material further comprises an aniline or phenol derivative which forms a colored compound with the chromophoric protease substrate after said chromophoric protease substrate has been cleaved by said protease to release a chromophore in the presence of said oxidizing agent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
The test strip of claim 2 wherein the aniline or phenol derivative is N-methylanthranilic acid, dimethylanthranilic acid, N-ethyl-N-(3'-sulphobenzene)-aniline or 2,3- xylenol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 25 words
The test strip of claim 2, wherein said chromophoric substrate is Tos-Gly-Pro-Arg-p-phenylenediamine, said aniline derivative is N-methylanthranilic acid and said oxidizing agent is potassium ferricyanide.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 22 words
The test strip of claim 2, further comprising a third sample receiving carrier material positioned above or below said first carrier material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 30 words
The test strip of claim 5, further comprising a fiber fleece arranged between the third and first carrier material and separating said third and first carrier materials from each other.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 30 words
The test strip of claim 5, further comprising a fiber fleece arranged between the first and second carrier material and separating said first and second carrier materials from each other.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 24 words
The test strip of claim 1 useful in carrying out a Quick Test, comprising thromboplastin, a chromophoric substrate for thrombin and Ca 2+ ions.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 22 words
The test strip of claim 1 useful in analysis of prothrombin, comprising Factor Xa, Factor V, Ca 2+ ions and a phospholipid.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 32 words
The test strip of claim 1 useful in carrying out a partial thromboplastin time test, comprising a thrombin activator, a contact factor activator, a chromophoric substrate for thrombin, and Ca 2+ ions.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 13 words
The test strip of claim 10, further comprising ellagic acid and a phospholipid.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 56 words
The test strip of claim 1 useful in analysis of Factor X, comprising at least one factor involved in blood coagulation selected from the group consisting of venom obtained from Russell's viper and Factor X activating enzyme derived from Russell's viper venom, and further comprising Ca 2+ ions and a chromophoric substrate for factor Xa .
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 41 words
The test strip of claim 1 useful in analysis of Factor VIII, comprising Factor IXa, thrombin, Ca 2+ ions, a phospholipid and one member of the group consisting of a chromophoric substrate for Factor Xa and a chromophoric substrate for thrombin.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 24 words
The test strip of claim 1 useful in analysis of Factor VII, comprising thromboplastin, Ca 2+ ions and a chromophoric substrate for Factor Xa.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 46 words
The test strip of claim 1 useful in analysis of factor IX comprising an activated contact factor, Factor IXa, Ca 2+ ions and one of a chromophoric substrate for Factor IXa, or a combination of phospholipid, Factor VIII, thrombin and a chromophoric substrate for Factor Xa.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim 105 words
The test strip of claim 1 wherein said chromphoric substrate is a compound of the formula ##STR3## wherein A is the amino acid arginine or lysine, X is an N-terminal amino acid protective group, Y is a single bond or a chain of 1 to 3 amino acids, NR 1 R 2 is a group in the o- or p-position in which R 1 and R 2 , independently of one another, are hydrogen, alkyl containing up to 3 carbon atoms or nitro and R 3 is hydrogen, a carboxyl ester or carboxylamido group, halogen, nitro or an alkyl containing up to 3 carbon atoms.
