Description: SPECIFICATION TRIPHENYL METHANE DERIVATIVES AND METHOD OF QUANTITATIVELY MEASURING AN OXIDATIVE SUBSTANCE BY USING SAID DERIVATIVE AS COLORING COMPONENT TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a triphenyl methane derivative, a method of quantitatively measuring an oxidative substance by using said derivative as a coloring component and a method of quantitatively measuring an oxidative substance with the influences of a coloring-interfering substance being avoided as well as a method of quantitatively measuring an oxidative substance which enables the adjustment of a coloring sensitivity. BACKGROUND TECHNIQUE Since changes in components of body fluids such as blood, urine and the like are deeply correlated with diseases, measurement of the body fluid components has been important to diagnose the diseases, solve pathological conditions and judge a therapeutic course. For instance, as well known, there have been developed methods of measuring an extremely various kinds of micro-components including cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, uric acid, monoamine oxidase, bile acid and the like in the blood, and they have been used for the diagnosis of the diseases. At present, as a method of measuring serum components there is generally popularized a so-called enzyme method" in which an enzyme reaction is carried out by using an enzyme specifically acting upon an intended component, and a product formed thereby is measured to determine the content of the intended component. With development of oxidizable coloring reagents, there have been increasingly developed and used, for example, a method in which an oxidizable coloring reagent is oxidized with a peroxidaselike substance and an oxidative substance to be led to a coloring system, among them, a method in which an H202 generating enzyme, for instance, an oxidase, is applied to generate H202 in such an amount as to meet with that, of an intended component, and the generated H202 is led to a coloring system with use of a peroxidase and an oxidizable coloring reagent as a coloring component to determine the amount of the intended component through colorimettic determination. That is, there may be recited by way of example a method in which H 202 generated with a combined use of cholesterol-cholesterol oxidase, glucose-glucose oxidase, triglyceride-lipoprotein lipase-glycerol oxidase, uric aciduricase, or the like is led to a coloring system by using peroxidase and an oxidizable coloring reagent and a color development is measured by using an photometer to determine the amount of an intended component. As a matter of course, the concentrations of the components in the serum differ depending upon kinds of the components, and therefore the amounts of H202 generated through the enzyme reaction varies over a wide range. Accordingly, there have been developed and used oxidizable coloring reagents with sensitivities meeting the intended purposes. For example, an oxidizable coloring reagent combining 4-aminoantipyrine with phenolic compound of N,N-dialkylaniline compound are generally used in the measurement of cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, uric acid or the like. Meanwhile, among the body fluid components, there are some components which are contained in the normal serum in an extremely small amount, like monoamine oxidase and bile acid. That is, the monoamine oxidase is an enzyme which acts upon a monoamine compound to generate H202 and aldehyde, but the amount of the generated H202 is extremely small due to its extremely small concentration in the serum. Thus, the oxidizable coloring reagents of the above combinations are insufficient in sensitivity to quantitatively determine such components. Consequently, an oxidizable coloring reagent with a higher sensitivity is being demended. Under these circumstances, there has heretofore been developed and used in a commercial base a measuring method using a derivative of leucomethylene blue as the oxidizable coloring reagent with a higher sensitivity. However, this leuco coloring matter has the defect that it is questionable in stability in a solution state, and that a coloring reagent containing this leuco coloring matter is gradually colored during storage. Further, although for the similar purpose to the above, there have been studied a leucocrystal violet, a leuco malachite green and so on as an oxidizable coloring reagent with high sensitivity which belong to the same triphenyl methane type leuco coloring matters as in the present invention, all of them are difficult to dissolve into water in around the neutral range. Therefore, it is difficult to dissolve them in a desired concentration. Thus, they are insuitable for the measurement of a micro-component. As a leuco coloring matter improved in this defect, there is proposed bis(4-diethylaminophenyl)-2-sulfophenyl methane (hereinafter abbreviated as BSPM) (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 26199/1981). However, it can not necessarily be said that the solubility thereof to water is sufficient. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide novel coloring reagent which is excellent in solubility to water in the neutral range, stable in an aqueous solution for a long period of time, high in coloring sensitivity and stable in coloring, exhibits coloring having an absorption on a longer wavelength, and is accordingly less susceptible of influence of a component in a serum. It is another object of the present invention to provide a method of quantitatively measuring an oxidative substance by using this coloring reagent. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a method of quantitatively measuring an oxidative substance with the influences of a coloring-interfering substance being avoided. It is further object of the present invention to quantitatively measuring an oxidative substance, which enables the adjustment of a coloring sensitivity. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel triphenyl methane derivative represented by the following general formula (I): EMI5.1 wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4, which may be the same as or different from one another, represent lower alkyl groups, and X1 and X2 both represent -O(CH2) SO3M in which M is a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal ion or NH+4, and n is an integer of 2 - 4, or either of X1 and X2 represents -O(CH2) SO3M in which M and n are the same meanings as given above and the other represents a hydrogen atom, and a method of quantitatively measuring the amount of an oxidative substance by using said triphenyl methane derivatives as a coloring component. In the triphenyl methane derivatives represented by the general formula (I) according to the present invention, R1 - R4 represent a lower alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, etc., and they may be the same as or different from one another. M in -O(CH2)nSO3M denoted by X1 and X2 is a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal ion such as Na+, K+, Li+, etc., or NH4+, and n is 2, 3 or 4. It is considered that the triphenyl methane derivatives represented by the general formula (I) according to the present invention are novel compounds which have not been described in the literatures, and the triphenyl methane derivatives may generally be produced by the following process. That is, for instance, in the case of bis(4-N,N-diethylaminophenyl)-3,4-disodium sulfopropoxyphenyl methane, protocatechualdehyde and propane sultone are reacted with each other under heating in an organic solvent such as methyl cellosolve, ethyl cellosolve or the like in the presence of an alkali such as caustic soda, sodium alcoholate or the like, and after the completion of the reaction, ordinary post-treatments such as cooling, crystal precipitation, solvent pouring, filtration, washing and so on are carried out, and if necessary, purification by a column chromatography or the like is carried out to obtain 3,4disodium sulfopropoxybenzaldehyde. Then, the resultant is reacted with N,N-diethylaniline in an organic solvent such as methyl cellosolve, ethyl cellosolve or the like under heating in the presence of a catalyst such as zinc chloride or the like, and post-treatments are done in the ordinary way and purification is carried out by a column chromatography or the like to obtain the intended product. Generally, the other compounds encompassed by the general formula (I) may be produced in the same or similar manner. The triphenyl methane type leuco coloring matters represented by the general formula (I) according to the present invention have first been synthesized by the present inventors to improve the inferior solubility to water around a neutral range, which is the defect of the known triphenyl methane type leuco coloring matters such as leucomalachite green, leucocrystal violet and so on, and is chiefly characterized in that a group of -O(CH2) SO3M (M and n represent the same meanings as given above) is introduced as a solubilizing group. Namely, the above BSPM is a triphenyl methane derivative in which one sulfonic acid group is introduced into a benzene nucleus to improve solubility of the triphenyl methane type leuco coloring matter, but its solubility at pH 7.2 is 0.5 mM. Thus, it cannot be said that the solubility to water around the neutral range is sufficient. In the case with bis(4-diethylaminophenyl)-2,4 disulfophenyl methane in which two sulfonic acid groups are introduced into a benzene nucleus, although the solubility to water is obviously improved, it cannot be oxidized in a 11202 POD (peroxidase) system due to its high oxidation-reduction potential, so that no coloring takes place. Therefore, this compound cannot be used in a body fluid component-measuring method in--which H 202 is generated by using an enzyme, and is led to a coloring system for the measurement of an intended component. To the contrary, according to the triphenyl methane derivative of the present invention, even ones attached with a single -O(CH2)nSO3M (M and n are the same as given above), for example, bis(4-N,N-diethylaminophenyl)-4-sodium sulfopropoxyphenyl methane (hereinafter abbreviated as BSproPM) exhibits 5 mM in the solubility to water around the neutral range (pH 7.2) which is 10 times as large as that of BSPM, and the derivatives having two -O (CH2) nSO3M groups, for example, bis (4-N,N-diethylaminophenyl) - 3,4-disodium sulfopropoxyphenyl methane (hereinafter abbreviated as BSdiproPM) is more soluble and exhibits a solubility of not less than 30 times (15 mM or more) that of BSPM. Though quite unexpected, the triphenyl methane derivatives according to the present invention in which two groups represented by -O(CH2) SO3M (M and n are the same meanings as given above), different from the triphenyl methane derivative in which two sulfonic acid groups are directly bonded to the benzene nucleus, is extremely excellent in oxidation coloring in the H 202-POD system, and can be satisfactorily used for the purpose aimed at by the present invention. The leuco coloring matter according to the present invention is extremely stable in a solution state. While an aqueous solution of the conventional leucomethylene blue derivative becomes unusable at room temperature in several hours, the aqueous solution of the leuco coloring matter according to the present invention does not change at all even in a 24 hour storage, and therefore is exceedingly useful as coloring component. Every leuco coloring reagent according to the invention has an coloring sensitivity of as high as 80,000, and uniformly has the Amax value on a long wave length side, that is, at 600 700 nm, so that they are hardly susceptible of interference with hemoglobin, bilirubin and the like. Further, coloring caused by the coloring matters according to the invention is extremely stable, and almost no color fading is observed. As mentioned above, since the triphenyl methane derivatives according to the invention has various merits, the derivatives can be so effectively used in the known measuring method in which the triphenyl methane derivatives is oxidized with an oxidative substance such as H202 and peroxidase or a peroxidaselike substance such as hemoglobin to be led to a coloring system so as to quantitatively determine the amount of the intended component, for example, in the case of the measurement of the body fluid components such as blood, urine and the like according to the enzyme method (H202 generating system), and in the measurement of hemoglobin in the serum by using H202 or an oxidative substance such as sodium perborate. In general, the triphenyl methene type oxidizable coloring reagent (triphenyl methane type leuco coloring matter) is susceptible of a coloring-interference by uric acid and protein, but the present inventors have found in practicing the invention that the influence by uric acid can be avoided when uricase is coexistent (in this case, the uric acid can be decomposed without being accompanied by the production of H202), while the influence by protein can be avoided through the addition of a metal chelate or a specific surface active agent, and accomplished the invention relating to a method of measuring an oxidative substance with the influences of the color-interfering substance being avoided. That it, the leuco coloring matter according to the present invention can be used for the measurement of chemical components in body fluids such as the serum or the blood containing the uric acid or protein according to the enzyme method (H202 generating system) without any trouble. In the measurement according to the enzyme method (H202 generating system) using the triphenyl methane type leuco coloring matter of the invention as the coloring component, as the chemical components in the body fluids which can be measured, mention may be made of all items which are measured according to the conventional enzyme method (H202 generating system), for instance, glucose, free cholesterol, whole cholesterol, HDL (high specific density lipoprotein)-cholesterol, LDL (low specific density lipoprotein)-cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipid, uric acid, monoamine oxidase and so on (In the case of uric acid, it is necessary that uricase is preliminarily acted upon uric acid to generate H202, and then the coloring reagent according to the present invention is added together with peroxidase for color development). Among them, the coloring reagent according to the present invention is particularly suited for the measurement of a component contained in the body fluids in an extremely small amount, for example, monoamine oxidase, and bile acid. In practicing the method of the invention with respect to the serum, the concentration of more than 0.01 mM of the triphenyl methane type oxidizable coloring reagent in the invention is adoptable, and ordinarily 0.02 - 0.3 mM of the concentration is preferably adopted. As the surface active agents effectively used in the present invention for avoiding the interference of protein, generally, anionic surface active agents, particularly the ones represented by the following formulae (II) and (III), are effective. EMI11.1 R6O(CH2CH2O)gSO3M6 (III) wherein R5 represents an alkyl group of 8 - 9 carbon atoms, R6 represents an alkyl group of 8 - 18 carbon atoms, M5 and M6 each represent an alkali metal ion, an ammonium ion, or a quaternary ammonium ion, and k and Q each represent an integer of 1 - 6. As specific examples corresponding to the compound of the general formula (II), mention may be made of Emal NC(polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether sodium sulfate; trademark of Kao Soap Co., Ltd.), Nicol 560 SF (polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether ammonium sulfate; trademark of Nippon Emulsifier Co., Ltd.), Nicol SNP-4T (polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether triethanolamine sulfate; trademark of Nippon Emulsifier Co., Ltd.). As specific examples corresponding to the compound of the general formula (III), mention may be made of Emal 20 C (polyoxyethylene alkyl ether sodium sulfate; trademark of Kao Soap Co., Ltd.), Sannol 605 D (polyoxyethylene alkyl ether sodium sulfate; trademark of Lion Co., Ltd.), Nicol NES-303 (polyoxyethylene alkyl ether triethanolamine sulfate; trademark of Nikko Chemicals Co., Ltd.). As a matter of course, the invention is not limited to those specifically mentioned above. These surface active agents are each ordinarily used at the actual concentration of 0.01 - 10% in the coloring reagent solution. As the metal chelate compounds effective for removing the interference of protein, generally a metal-EDTA (ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid) is effectively used. As specific examples of the chelate, mention may be made of, for instance, Fe(III)-EDTA, Mn(II)-EDTA, Ni(II)-EDTA and the like, but they are not restrictive. All the ordinary metal-EDTA chelates commercially available may be used. Effect can be observed at the addition amount of not less than 0.005%, and ordinarily 0.01 - 0.58 is preferably adopted. Meanwhile, uricase used for avoiding the interference of uric acid is an oxidation enzyme of uric acid, and acts upon the uric acid to be converted into allantoin, hydrogen peroxide and carbon dioxide. According to the present invention, uric acid can be decomposed without being accompanied by the formation of H 202 by acting uricase upon the uric acid in the presence of the triphenyl methane derivative and peroxidase. Thus, the triphenyl methane type leuco-pigment is not colored at all through oxidization by hydrogen peroxide produced through the decomposition of uric acid, and uric acid as the interfering substance can be extremely easily and effectively removed. The addition amount of uricase may be generally not less than 50 U/Q, and a range of 100 - 500 U/Q is preferably adopted. That is, in order to remove the interference of uric acid, when a reagent solution containing 0.01 - 0.3 m mol/ of the triphenyl methane type leuco-pigment, 50 - 500 U/Q of uricase, 100 - 10,000 U/Q of peroxidase, and appropriate amount of a surface active agent if necessary in a buffer solution of pH 6 - 8 is added to a sample containing uric acid, for instance, the uric acid is instantly decomposed. At that time, no hydrogen peroxide is generated and therefore, the triphenyl methane type leucopigment is not colored at all. It is presumed that the uric acid is decomposed to be converted into alloxan or a decomposition product thereof and urea. Anyway, there has been no literature describing to the effect that uric acid is decomposed by uricase without being accompanied by the generation of H202, and the present inventors first have found that while such a phenomenon is not recognized with respect to other oxidizable coloring reagent, it is an effect peculiar to the triphenyl leuco-pigment. This phenomenon is beyond anticipation in that an action utterly different from the ordinary enzyme action of the uricase upon uric acid is induced from uricase. Since both protein and uric acid are ordinarily present in serum, when the component in the body fluid is measured according to the enzyme method (H 202-POD system) or hemoglobin in the serum is measured according to the H202 system by using the triphenyl methane type leuco-pigment as a coloring reagent, the interferences of both the protein and the uric acid can be avoided by the combined use of the anionic surface active agent or metal chelate compound and uricase according to the present invention, so that more precisely measured value can be easily obtained. The triphenyl methane type leuco coloring matter used as a coloring agent in quantitative measurement according to the present invention with the influences of the color-interfering substances being avoided is not restricted to the compounds represented by the above general formula (I), and almost all the triphenyl methane type leuco coloring matters which can be used as a coloring reagent may be used. Ordinarily, the compounds represented by the general formula (IV): EMI15.1 wherein Ri, R2,, R3 and R4,, which may be the same as or different from one another, represent a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, Xi and X2 represent a hydrogen atom, -SO3Mi, -COOM21, -O(CH2)m'SO3M3', -O(CH2)n'COOM4' or -N(R51) (R61) (provided that M'1, M2, M; ; and N41 represent a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal ion, or NH+4, and R'5 and R6 (independently represent a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, and m' and n' each represent an integer of 2 - 4) are frequently used. As specific examples of these compounds, mention may be made, for instance, leucocrystal violet, leucomalachite green, the above-mentioned BSPM, BSproPM, and BsdiproPN, and so on. The present invention on the quantitative measurement with the influences of the coloring-interfering substance being avoided is to provide a method which can easily give a more accurate measured value with the influences of the substance interfering an oxidation-coloring of the triphenyl methane type leuco coloring matter in the quantitative measurement of a component in serum by using the triphenyl methane leuco coloring matter according to an enzyme method (H202-POD system), for instance, in the quantitative measurement of a substrate in serum, such as glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipid choline, creatine, creatinine, bile acid and the like, measurement of enzyme activity of monoamine oxidase and so on, and the quantitative measurement of a peroxidase-like substance, for instance, hemoglobin and so on by using H2O2. Although the coloring reagents of the invention represented by the general formula (I) are characterized by their high sensitivity, the high sensitivity in turn becomes an obstacle in the practical use. That is, due to the high sensitivity, they have problems in practical use that a sample must be taken in an extremely small amount (for instance, 10pQ or less) in the measurement of the concentration of H202 which can be satisfactorily measured with a sensitivity equivalent to that of 4-aminoantipyrinphenol type coloring reagent, so that error in the measured value becomes large to cause dispersion thereof, and that it is necessary to preliminarily dilute the sample in order to lessen the error incident to the sampling. Such problems can be eliminated by a method according to the present invention by using an azide compound as a sensitivity adjustor or by including the compound represented by the general formula (IV) with cyclodextrin (hereinafter abbreviated as CD) or modified cyclodextrin (hereinafter abbreviated as modified CD) in the quantitative measurement of the oxidative substance by using the triphenyl methane derivatives of the general formula (IV) as a coloring reagent. The azide compound, particularly, sodium azide, is generally used as antiseptics, and it is famous as an inhibitor against metal series enzyme such as a catalase, peroxidase, laccase and the like. However, in the present invention, the fact that the effect which has not been heretofore known with respect to the conventional azide compound, that is, the effect of adjusting the coloring sensitivity of the triphenyl methane derivatives, can be obtained by the combined use of the triphenyl methane derivatives and azide has been newly found out, which enables an application of the invention to a wide range of uses through utilization of the excellent characteristics of the triphenyl methane derivatives as the oxidizable coloring reagent that the coloring wave is on the long wavelength side and almost no color is faded with lapse of time after color development, without the use of the triphenyl methane derivatives being restricted to the quantitative measurement of an extremely small amount of substances. As the azide, use may be made of any one of alkali salt, alkaline earth metal salt, and other metal salt of hydrogen azide. Ordinarily, sodium azide is preferably used. So long as the concentration of the azide in the coloring reagent solution is not less than 0.001%, the effect for the reduction in the coloring sensitivity is recognized, and ordinarily 0.01 - 0.5% is preferably adopted. For instance, in the case of BSdipropM, the coloring sensitivity is lowered down to 16.5% at the largest by adding 0.2% of sodium azide to the coloring reagent solution, and its calibration curve becomes a straight line passing through the origin. Moreover, according to the present invention, it is possible to appropriately adjust the coloring sensitivity into a desired range by appropriately selecting the addition amount of the azide. Meanwhile, it is known that when CD or modified CD is mixed with an organic compound in an aqueous solution, they ordinarily readily form an inclusion body, and therefore, they have excellent effects, for example, in stabilizing medicines, adjusting the solubility, pulverizing a liquid chemicals, masking stimulous and offensive odor and the like, adjusting the volatility, and they are accordingly used for the purposes thereof. In addition, it is considered that when CD or modified CD is added to the coloring reagent, the coloring sensitivity is ordinarily increased by the effect of the increasing the solubility, and therefore they are often used for this purpose, too. However, according to the present invention, unexpectedly, the coloring sensitivity can be two the contrary lowered by including the triphenyl methane derivatives with CD or modified CD, and consequently the derivative can be applied over a wide range of uses under the utilization of its excellent characteristics without being restricted to the quantitative measurement of an extremely small amount of a substance. In addition, since bis(p-diethylaminophenyl)2-sulfophenyl methane (BSPM) (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 26,199/ 1981) which is one of the triphenyl methane derivatives and a known compound as the coloring reagents is difficult to be completely dissolved even at the concentration of 0.01 mM in a buffer solution of pH 6 - 8 ordinarily adopted in the enzyme measurement method (H2O2 generation system) of an extremely small amount of a component in serum (ordinarily, it is once dissolved on the acidic range, and the pH is adjusted around the neutrality, but the usable concentration is 0.5 mM at the largest), it has been up to now difficult to put it into a practical use in this field. To the contrary, according to the present invention, the solubility is increased through inclusion by using CD or modified CD, so that the triphenyl methane derivatives can be dissolved even at the concentration of 20 mM or more and its practical use comes to be possible. CD used in the present invention can be applicable in any of a, ss, y, and 6 forms. As the modified CD, mention may be made of, for instance, the compound of the following formula (V): 8-cD (OH)21-m" (-OZ1)m" (V) wherein CD represents cyclodextrin residue, Z1 represents -NO,, or -SO3H or a group of the formula: -(CH2) 2. in which 2 -PO3H, -SO3H on a group or the formula: -(CH2)n"Z in which z2 represents -SO3H or -CO2H, and n" is an integer of 1 to 4, and m" represents an number of 1 to 5, and the compound of the general formula (VI): 6-CD (-OH) 21-k' (-OCH3) k (VI) wherein k' represents a figure of higher than 0 but not higher than 21. Typical examples of such 6-cyclodextrin derivatives are enumerated by way of example as follows: (3-CD (-OH) 19 (-ONO2)2 (ss-CD(-OH)19.2(-OPO3H)1.8 (3-CD (-OH)19 (-OS03H) 2 B-CD(-OH)18.5 (-O-CH3-C02H)2.5 (3-CD (-OH) 193(-O-CH2OH2CH2 1 3H)1.7 B-CD(-OH)18.5(-O-CH2CH2CH2-S03H)2.5 B-CD(-OH)18.0(-O-CH2CHZCH2-S03H)3,0 ss-CD(-OH)7( OCH3)14 ss-CD(-OCH3)21 However, the modified CD in the present invention is not restricted to these specific examples. These modified CD can be easily produced according to the ordinary producing processes described in the literatures. For instance, see Journal of Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan Vol. 35, No. 2, p 123 (41) to p 124 (42) (1977). In order to include with CD or modified CD, the triphenyl methane derivatives may be added and dissolved into a solution in which CD or the modified CD is dissolved into water or a buffer solution. In this way, it is possible to easily dissolve BSPM, which is difficult to be dissolved in water or buffer solution, in a short time. The amount of CD or modified CD may be the equal mole or more with respect to the triphenyl methane derivatives, and ordinarily, 10 - 1,000 times in mole is preferably adopted. By including the derivative with CD or modified CD, the coloring sensitivities are lowered to around 55.2% at the largest with respect to a-CD inclusion, and around 37.4% at the largest with respect to (3-CD inclusion in the case of BSPM: around 38.7% at the largest with respect to a-CD inclusion and around 29.0% at the largest with respect to (3-CD inclusion in the case of BSdiproPM; around 53.7% at the largest with respect to a-CD inclusion and around 38.8% at the largest with respect to (3-CD inclusion in the case of BSproPM. As the triphenyl methane derivatives represented by the general formula (IV) used in the invention, mention may be made of, for example leucomarachite green and leucocrystal violet which have been publicly known as the leuco coloring matters, BSPM, BSproPM and BsdipropM, but the triphenyl methane derivatives used in the invention are not restricted to the above. According to the present invention, the use of azide, CD or modified CD makes utterly no influence upon the coloring speed. The method according to the present invention can be applied to all measuring items which are measured by the conventional enzyme methods (H202 generation system) and measurement of a peroxidase-like substance using H202, for instance, the method of the invention is used for the measurement of the substrates such as cholesterol, phospholipid, glucose, creatine, triglyceride, uric acid and so on in the body fluids, the measurement of the activity of the serum enzyme and the quantitative measurement of a hemoglobin in the serum (provided that in the case of uric acid. H202 is produced in advance by acting uricase upon the uric acid, and the triphenyl methane derivative which is included with ss-cyclodextrin is added together with peroxidase to develop the color.)

Then, 50 pQ of the reaction terminator liquid was mixed thereinto and absorbance at a wavelength of 620 nm was measured by using a reagent blank as control. Using bovine monoamine oxidase manufactured by Sigma Co., Ltd., standard liquids of 5 IU/, 10 IU/Q and 20 IU/Q were prepared, and then absorbances were measured with respect to these standard liquids as in the case of the serum to obtain a calibration curve therefrom, which is shown in Fig. 1. The activity of monoamine oxidase in the sample was determined from the calibration curve. Reference Example 1: Measurement of H202 by using a conventional coloring reagent (Buffer solution) 30 mM of allylamine, 0.53 mM of phenol, and a surface active agent were added to 25 mM of Good buffer solution (pH 6.75) to prepare a buffer solution. (First test liquid) 170 units of lipoprotein lipase, 425 units of ascorbate oxidase, 255 units of peroxidase and a stabilizer were added to 85 m± of the above prepared buffer solution to prepare a first test liquid. (Second test liquid) 7.3 pmol of 10-N-methylcarbamoyl-3,7-dimethylamino-lOH- phenothiazine (MCDP) and a stabilizer were added to 85 mQ of the above prepared buffer solution to prepare a second test liquid. When in use, the first test liquid and the second test liquid were mixed with each other in the same volume to prepare a color test liquid. An aqueous solution of 8.9 mM of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate was prepared as a reaction termination liquid. 3.0 mQ of the color test liquid was taken, and preliminarily incubated in the constant temperature chamber at 370C for about 5 min., and 50 pQ of serum was added thereto, incubated at 370C for 30 min.

Then, absorbance at a wavelength of 620 nm was measured with reference to a reagent blank as control. Separately, cholesterol standard liquids were prepared to be at concentrations of 25, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg/dQ respectively, and absorbances were measured in the same manner as in the serum to obtain a calibration curve therefrom.

Then, absorbance at a wavelength of 505 nm was measured with reference to a reagent blank as control. Separately, color was developed by using the cholesterol standard solutions (prepared in Example 4) in the same manner as above, and absorbances were measured to obtain a calibration curve therefrom.

In the calibration curve, the absorbance is 0.290 at the cholesterol concentration of 200 mg/dR, and this measurements is suitable for the measurement by using the ordinary photometer.

Q Cholesterol standard solution: Same as in Example 15 (2) Measuring steps: Absorbances were measured similarly to in Example 15. A calibration curve is shown in Fig. 9. Although the calibration curve is a straight line passing through the original, the absorbance is a high value of 0.731 at the cholesterol concentration of 200 mg/dt, and accuracy is poor in the case of the ordinary photometer using a logarithm scale.

H202 H 202 standard solutions: Same as in Reference Example 17 (2) Measuring steps: Absorbances were measured in the same manner as in Example 17. A calibration curve is shown in Fig. 10.

Cholesterol standard solutions: Isopropanol solutions of cholesterol at concentrations of 100 mg/dQ, 200 mg/dQ, 300 mg/dQ, 400 mg/dQ, and 500 mg/dQ respectively were prepared. (2) Measuring steps: 20 pQ of each of the cholesterol standard solutions of the above respective concentrations was sampled and 3 mQ of the coloring test solution was added thereto, which was incubated at 370C for 10 minutes. Then, absorbances at a wavelength of 620 nm were measured with reference to a blank reagent as control, and a calibration curve was drawn. Fig. 13 shows the calibration curve thus obtained, which is a straight line passing through the origin. The absorbance at the cholesterol concentration of 200 mg/dQ is 0.210, which is the absorbance suitable for the measurement by using the ordinary photometer.

Fig. 14 shows the calibration curve thus obtained, which is a straight line passing through the origin. The absorbance at the cholesterol concentration of 200 mg/dQ is 0.220, which is an absorbance suitable for the measurement by using the ordinary photometer. Example 28: Quantitative analysis of total cholesterol in the presence of no (3-CD (1) Preparation of reagents: Color reagent: A color reagent of the same composition as in Example 26 was prepared except that no (3-CD was added. 5 Cholesterol standard solutions: Same as in Example 26 (2) Measurement steps: Absorbances were measured in the same manner as in Example 26.
