Abstract
Abstract
A constant-current coulometric technique is described for measuring acid or alkaline phosphatase activity in serum. Electrogenerated bromine is used as the titrant of phenol enzymatically released from phenyl phosphate. A biamperometric end-point detection system is used, with an applied potential of 135 mV. Titrations are performed at pH 1 with use of a generating electrolyte of 0.5 molar KBr in 0.05 molar H2SO4. A procedure is described for determining serum alkaline phosphatase activity by use of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (0.25 mol/liter, pH 10.25) with Mg2+ activator (1 mmol/liter), and for determining serum acid phosphatase activity in citrate buffer (0.1 mol/liter, pH 4.9). Results compare favorably with those of the method of Kind and King [J. Clin. Pathol. 7, 322 (1954)].
