  • Title: [Determination of alpha-amylase activity using a new chromogenic substrate].
    Author: Ameliushkina VA, Arukaévu KhE, Tvorogova MG, Raba R, Titov VN.
    Journal: Lab Delo; 1991; (8):19-24. PubMed ID: 1724498.
    Abstract:
    alpha-Amylase activity was measured with the use of a new chromogenic insoluble substrate, Testamyl, developed and manufactured by Kemotex, Tallinn, Estonia. Reproducibility trials of the new method have demonstrated a low coefficient of variations within a lot (4.4%) and among the lots (3.5%). alpha-Amylase activity values obtained with the use of Testamyl and by other technique are in good correlation. Routine laboratory equipment is employed in the test; this permits use of Testamyl kits for measurements of alpha-amylase activities in the blood serum and urinary samples both at laboratories of specialized treatment and diagnosis institutions and at clinical laboratories. The method is convenient for rapid diagnosis.
