Measures Amylase Concentration.Coral Clinical Systems has answered these concerns of the busy laboratory professional by engineering the “Flexipour”reagent system which comprises of individual liquid stable components, which when mixed together in recommended ratios generate a dependable liquid stable working reagent. Depending on the usage, individual reagents may be poured at one go or flexibly in smaller volumes. Alpha Amylase is secreted by the pancreas into the duodenum where it aids the catabolism of carbohydrates to simple sugars. Damage to the pancreas or obstruction to the pancreatic duct causes the enzyme to enter the blood stream. Elevated levels are found in acute pancreatilis, perforated / penetrating peptic ulcers, paraotilis (mumps). Patients with chronic pancreatic disorders having pancreatic cell destruction do not have high levels as less amylase is produced by the pancreas.a Amylase catalyses the hydrolysis of a 2-chloro -4 nitro phenol salt to chloro nitrophenol(CNP). The rate of hydrolysis is measured as an increase in absorbance due to the formation of chloro nitrophenol which is proportional to the a Amylase activity in the sample.
