A method of detecting and quantifying cyanide concentration in a patient, by monitoring photometric changes resulting from the transformation of methemoglobin to cyanomethemoglobin. The present invention provides for a means of cyanide poisoning assessment in patients using the affinity of methemoglobin for cyanide to assess the photometric changes resulting from methemoglobin converting to cyanomethemoglobin, as an indicator of cyanide concentration in a patient. Appropriate corrective action can then be promptly taken.

363 Fertility test US842773 1997-04-17 US5914271A 1999-06-22 Wai Tak Law; Robert Harper
The fertile period in a female can be detected by monitoring the calcium and magnesium concentrations in unstimulated saliva. In the three to five day period immediately prior to ovulation, the calcium and magnesium concentrations of saliva drop. This concentration monitoring can be done by any conventional means for quantitatively assaying calcium or magnesium, such as by flow through tests, test strips, cards, charts, probes, meters, and the like.
364 Phosphate assay US581584 1996-04-24 US5898069A 1999-04-27 Martin Ronald Webb; Martin Hermann Brune; John Edgar Thomas Corrie
Disclosed is a method for measuring or detecting inorganic phosphate ion in a sample. In the method, a sample is reacted with a phosphate-binding protein containing (i) an inorganic phosphate ion binding site and (ii) a detectable label that produces a signal whose amplitude changes detectably upon the binding of inorganic phosphate ion to the binding site, under conditions effective to allow binding of phosphate in the sample to the binding site. From a change in signal, the level of inorganic phosphate ion is measured or detected. Also disclosed are phosphate binding proteins for use in the method.

369 Feline urinary tract disease-detecting paper cat litter and method US345524 1994-11-28 US5830765A 1998-11-03 Carl V. Santioemmo; James P. Humphries
A cat litter which comprises a plurality of lightweight, resilient paper strips treated with a pH-indicator and/or an occult blood indicator and folded transversely into generally zig-zag shapes, enables early detection of feline urological syndrome. When wetted with alkaline urine secreted by the cat, the paper strips treated with pH indicator exhibit a noticeable color change. When wetted with cat urine containing occult or gross blood, the paper strips treated with occult blood indicator exhibit a noticeable color change. A mixture of pH indicator treated strips and occult blood indicator strips in the cat litter enables the detection of both alkaline pH and occult blood in the same urine sample. The color changes are easily visible to the observer without requiring unsanitary contact with the cat litter.
370 Doped sol-gel glasses for obtaining chemical interactions US667746 1996-06-21 US5824526A 1998-10-20 David Avnir; Michael Ottolenghi; Sergei Braun; Rivka Zusman

371 Metal ion determination by sandwich aggregation assay US703982 1996-08-28 US5814521A 1998-09-29 Eddy Chapoteau; Jonathan Craine; Bronislaw P. Czech; Anand Kumar; Koon-wah Leong
The present invention relates to a method for the determination of polyvalent metal ions using a sandwich aggregation assay. One or more chelating agents capable of forming at least 2:1 or higher ratio stoichiometry complexes with polyvalent metal ions are attached to a suitable carrier such as latex particles through covalent bonds or by non-covalent interactions, such as hydophobic interactions. Upon complexation with the metal ions, the carriers of the complexing agent aggregate, causing an increase in light absorbance or light scattering which is proportional to the concentration of metal ions in the test sample. The measurement of the light absorbance or light scattering by a suitable instrument, such as a spectrophotometer or nephelometer provides a means for measuring the concentration of metal ions.
372 Broad range total available chlorine test strip US822570 1997-03-19 US5811254A 1998-09-22 Wen H. Wu
A composition, method, and test device for determining the total available chlorine concentration of a test sample are disclosed. The test device includes a test pad having a suitable carrier matrix incorporating an indicator reagent composition capable of converting combined available chlorine to free available chlorine and of interacting with free available chlorine to produce a detectable and measurable response for total available chlorine over a range of 0 to over 5000 ppm total available chlorine in the test sample. An indicator reagent composition contains: (a) an indicator dye that is responsive to free available chlorine, such as tetramethylbenzidine, (b) a buffer, (c) a surfactant, (d) an optional catalyst, and (e) an optional polymer. An indicator reagent composition is incorporated into a carrier matrix, like filter paper, to provide a test pad useful in a dry phase total available chlorine assay of a test sample, such as a sanitizing solution for a hemodialysis unit.

375 Kit for determination of residual chlorine in water with 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine US565571 1995-11-30 US5783149A 1998-07-21 Francisco Bosch Serrat

The basis for the preparation of one of the kits (or the kit described as an example) lies in the orange color that is produced by means of the reaction between chlorine and TMB, which permits a straightforward determination of residual chlorine by means of a simple visual comparison with a graduated, stable scale that is constituted either by solutions of Tropaeolin O of different concentrations or, alternatively, by a printed scale on plastic material or paper, by etching.
376 Method for quantitatively measuring white blood cells esterase activity in urine US631581 1996-04-12 US5776780A 1998-07-07 Jack V. Smith; Jesse M. Carter

378 Bifunctional chelating polysaccharides US82269 1993-06-23 US5773227A 1998-06-30 Michael A. Kuhn; Tobias Meyer; Nancy L. Allbritton
This invention describes bifunctional polysaccharides conjugated to both a chelating group suitable for the selective complexation of metal cations, and a targeting peptide specific for a cellular substructure. These bifunctional polysaccharides are primarily useful for the regulation, detection and quantification of metal ion levels, such as Ca.sup.2+, Mg.sup.2+, Na.sup.+, K.sup.+, or Li.sup.+, in specific cellular structures. Localization within the cellular structure is accomplished by the targeting peptide, whereupon the large, water-soluble polysaccharide prevents diffusion of the chelating group from the targeted site. When the target cell structure is the nucleus of a fertilized egg cell, the polysaccharide-chelator conjugate remains sequestered within the nucleus until the breakdown of the nuclear envelope, whereupon the reagent becomes sequestered into both daughter nuclei. This means of tracking daughter cells is practical even through several cell divisions.
