Alkaline Phosphatase
Alkaline Phosphatase
Alkaline Phosphatase
Principle:
4-Nitrophenolphosphate + H2O
nitrophenolate
ALP
Phosphate + 4-
REAGENT SOLUTIONS:
Diethanolamine HC, Ph.9.8 4-nitrophenolphosphate Mg+ chloride
EQUIPMENTS:
1. Disposable Syringe, Pipettes, Test tubes, Centrifuge machine,
Water bath and Spectrophotometer.
SAMPLE:
Take 2 cc/ml of blood by disposable syringes in a clean test tube,
allow to clot and centrifuge it.
PROCEDURE:
Reagent temperature
37 0C, 30 oC,25 oC
Wavelength
405nm
Light path
1 cm
Measuring Temperature 37 0C,
Take 0.02 ml (20Ul) of serum and add I ml of reagent solution. Now
mix well and put it in water bath to maintain it on 37 0c. Now after
one or two minutes, measure in absorbance using photometer at
405nm and K-20 against the air blank on a factor 2760.
CALCULATION:
Enzymatic Activity X Factor
RESULT:
Given known sample contains--------------------NORMAL VALUE:
Female = 65-306 U/ L at 37 oC.
Male =
80-306 U/ L at 37 oC
