Abstract The oxidation from sulfite ion to sulfate ion with hydrogen peroxide is an autocatalytic reaction, in which a proton (H+) acts not only as the reaction product but also as the reactant. This reaction provides the characteristic S-shaped pH vs. time curve, which contains the inflection time and the dynamic pH change at the end point. The inflection time shifts with the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) concentration. Furthermore, the pH change at the end point can be visualized using a pH indicator such as bromothymol blue. Based on these findings, using a stopwatch and the unaided eye, a simple and visual determination for mg/L levels of HRP has been developed. The determination range of HRP was from 0.2 to 50 mg/L, and the relative standard deviation was 1.7% (eight determinations) for the blank. The detection limits (3σ) were 0.2 mg/L. Two kinds of antigens (e.g., TNF-α as the tumor necrosis factor and bis-phenol A as the endocrine disrupting chemicals) were possible to determine by combination with the proposed visual technique and the enzyme immunoassay with HRP as a marker enzyme.
