A Continuous Spectrophotometric Method for Measuring the Activity of Serum Alkaline Phosphatase

George N. Bowers Jr. 1 and Robert B. McComb 1

1 Clinical Chemistry Laboratory, Hartford Hospital, Hartford, Conn. 06115.

A continuous spectrophotometric method for measuring serum alkaline phosphatase activity is described. The effects of temperature, pH, substrate concentration, type and molarity of the buffer, sample size, cofactors, and inhibitors on the enzymatic hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate were studied. The optimal conditions for assay of serum alkaline phosphatase at 30° were found to be 0.75 M 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol buffer, pH30° 10.15, 4 mmole substrate, and 100 µl. or less sample size. Studies of the factors affecting analytical precision-i.e., control of reaction temperature, of reagent manufacture, and of standardization-are discussed. The precision of this method was 2.3% (relative standard deviation) on 10 within day replicates and 5.0% on day-to-day replicates spread over a 5-week period. The range of activity for 258 apparently healthy adult blood donors was 6-110 mU./ml. (International milliunits per milliliter), with a mean of 49 and a standard deviation of 14.
