Abstract

The present invention provides a diagnostic agent for the enzymatic determination of cholesterol, wherein, besides the necessary enzymes, it contains a scleroprotein or a scleroprotein hydrolysate; said invention also provides a process for the production of a reagent film for the detection of cholesterol, as well as a test strip for the detection of cholesterol; and said invention is also concerned with the use of scleroproteins and scleroprotein hydrolysates for increasing the enzyme stability in diagnostic agents for the detection of cholesterol and for increasing the temperature-independence of the detection of cholesterol with diagnostic agents.
