Description
INTENDED USE
AST reagent is intended for the in vitro quantitative determination of aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.2) activity in serum on both automated and manual systems.
Liquid ready-to-use reagents
AST reagent comes in a liquid format which is more convenient, and can also help reduce the risk of errors occurring.
Linearity
When run as recommended, the assay is linear up to 450 U/l or 7.46 mkat/l.
If result exceeds 450 U/l or 7.46 mkat/l, specimen should be diluted 1+5 with 0.9% NaCl solution and reassayed. Multiply the result by 6.
Excellent sensitivity
The sensitivity is defined as the lower detection limit represents the lowest measurable AST/GOT activity that can be distinguished from zero.
When run as recommended the sensitivity of this assay is 2 U/l or 0.03 mkat/l
Other features:
• Kinetic method
• Liquid ready-to-use reagents
• Stable to expiry when stored at 2-8◦C
