Abstract: An immunoassay for the determination of myocardial necroses using antibodies to troponin T and a binding partner B for troponin T or for the an antibody, whereby either the antibody or the binding partner B is labelled with a determinable group. The immunological complex formed which contains the determinable group is isolated by separation of the phases and the determinable group is determined in one of the phases. Furthermore, monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to troponin T are described with a cross-reactivity of less than 5% to skeletal muscle troponin T and less than 2% to troponin I and other myofibrillar proteins.

Abstract: A process for dissolving chylomicrons in an aqueous medium composed of (a) at least one polyethylene glycol ether of an alkanol or alkylaryl alcohol with a branched alkane chain and with an HLB value of 12 to 14, and (b) at least one secondary alkyl sulphonate containing 10 to 20 carbon atoms in the molecule, and optionally (c) an alkali metal p-toluenesulphonate; andthe agent formed by the combination of (a), (b) and optionally (c).

Abstract: A method for the determination of creatine kinase-MB in serum by immunological exclusion of sub-unit M and measurement of the sub-unit B for the determination of creatine kinase, the improvement comprising, for the purpose of excluding the sub-unit M, adding to the reaction mixture comprising determination reagents and the creatine kinase-containing sample, monovalent fragments obtained from antibodies against the sub-unit M by proteolytic cleavage under reducing conditions.

Abstract: Method and composition for the determination of glycerol using glycerin dehydrogenase, an electron transfer agent, NAD and a tetrazolium salt and, in addition, at least one microgram of zinc, in the form of a zinc salt, per 50 U of glycerol dehydrogenase.

Abstract: A device for the chemical and/or physical treatment of liquids which comprises a flowthrough vessel having an inlet and an outlet and is receptive of a treatment agent therebetween. The vessel comprises a substantially cylindrical tube having one end at the outlet and a conically widening tube section connected to the other end of the cylindrical tube. A permeable carrier is mounted in the cylindrical tube at the outlet end to support the treatment agent placed in the cylindrical tube.
