Intended Use

For IN VITRO diagnostic use in the determination of ALT in serum. Manual or automated applications.

 

Method Principle

The Alanine Aminotransferase enzyme catalyzes the conversion of alphaketoglutarate and       L-glutamate and pyruvate. The pyruvate produced is then quantitatively determined by the LDH-NADH reaction. The decrease in absorbance due to the oxidation of NADH to NAD is  monitored at 340nm. The rate of decrease in absorbance of the reaction mixture is directly proportional to the ALT enzyme activity in the serum sample. The reaction scheme illustrates the reactions that occur in this method.
