The methods for measuring biochemical items in clinical tests are roughly divided into chemical methods and enzyme methods. Among them, the enzyme method includes, for example, a method of detecting a coenzyme such as NADH using dehydrogenase, and a method of detecting hydrogen peroxide quantitatively generated from a substance to be measured using an oxidase. The method using oxidase is more sensitive than other methods and is suitable for measuring a small amount of substance.However, since it is a measurement system mediated by hydrogen peroxide, if a substance having a reducing action exists in the sample, There is a problem that hydrogen peroxide is reduced, which affects the measurement results and interferes with accurate measurement (hereinafter, a substance that exhibits a reducing action that is not for quantitative determination is simply referred to as a “reducing substance”). That).

Specific examples of the reducing substance include hemoglobin released by hemolysis during blood collection, bilirubin present at a high concentration in blood of patients with liver disease, or ascorbic acid taken as a nutritional supplement, liver or red blood cells. , Reduced glutathione (GSH) existing in a solution of white blood cells and the like.

These reducing substances are not a serious problem when measuring the concentration of a target substance having a relatively high concentration, but cause a large measurement error when measuring the concentration of a target substance having a low concentration.

The lower the concentration of the substance to be measured, the greater the effect.

[0005] For example, creatinine, which is a marker of renal function, is one of the measurement items that requires accurate measurement.
The abundance in the sample is very small compared to other biochemical items. Therefore, even if hydrogen peroxide is slightly erased by the reducing substance, the measured value is significantly affected. However, since creatinine is required to be accurately measured because of its clinical significance, it is necessary to avoid the influence of reducing substances as much as possible and accurately measure even at low concentrations.

(Patent Document 5) has been proposed. However, it is hard to say that these methods completely solve the influence of reducing substances such as bilirubin, and it is hard to say that they are still sufficient especially for the measurement of creatinine.

Further, when an ionic surfactant is made into a solution together with other components such as an enzyme, it has a property of denaturing or precipitating the other components over time, so that the influence on the performance, especially of other components, It has a great impact on storage stability. This poses a serious problem in the present situation where most of the reagents for the above-mentioned reactions for clinical tests are provided as liquid reagents. If the ionic surfactant is added in an amount sufficient to avoid the influence of the reducing substance, the reaction of the enzyme or the like will be hindered. As a means to solve this problem,
It is conceivable to add an excessive amount of a component such as an enzyme involved in the reaction, but in that case, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is high.
