See full text

A test kit for determining the presence of occult blood is disclosed which includes an improved monitor system having a reagent test area including a metal salt with an oxidation potential sufficient to catalyze a chromogen reaction in the guaiac impregnated paper when exposed to a peroxide developing solution. A peroxidase inactivating test area is provided for verifying the effectiveness of a peroxidase inactivating solution comprising guanidine hydrochloride and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. An improved method of testing occult blood is also disclosed wherein a peroxidase inactivating solution is applied to a monitor and a sample area just prior to application of the developing solution.
