METHOD
PRINCIPLE
Kinetic determination of Alaninaminotransferase
(ALAT) based upon IFCC recommendations:

Pyruvat + NADH + H+

Note: It is recommended for each laboratory to establish and

maintain its own reference values. The given data are only an
indication.

PROCEDURES
Reagents can be used manually (see method below) and
on most analyzers. Applications are available on request.

- PRECAUTIONS
- For in vitro diagnostic use only.
- The reagents contain < 0,95g/L sodium azide.
Avoid contact with skin and/or mucous
membranes !
- Use clean or single use glass/plastic material
only to avoid contaminations.
STABILITY OF REAGENTS
When stored at 2 8 C and protected from light,
the reagents are stable until the expiry date printed
on the labels.
PREPARATION OF WORKING REAGENT
- For Start Reagent-procedure
reagents R1 and R2 are ready for use
- For Sample Start-procedure (monoreagent)
mix R1 + R2 = 5 + 1
Stability : 1 month at 2 8 C
5 days at 18 25 C

PERFORMANCE DATA (37C)

- Analytical range
The reagent is linear up to ALAT activities
corresponding to a A/min of 0,16 at 340 nm and
334 nm,which corresponds to 1300U/L. If A/min
exceeds 0.16 at 340 nm, repeat the test using
serum diluted 1/10 with sodium chloride solution (9
g/L).Multiply result by 10.
