Intended Use
The Snibe Biossays® AST reagent is intended for quantitative determination of aspartate aminotransferase in human serum.
Assay Principle
AST present in the sample catalyzes the transfer of the amino group from L-aspartic acid to α-ketoglutarate forming
oxaloacetic acid and L-glutamate. Oxaloacetic acid in the presence of NADH and malic dehy-drogenase, is reduced to
L-malic acid. In this reaction NADH is oxidized to NAD. The reaction is monitored by measuring the rate of decrease in
ab-sorbance at 340 nm due to the oxidation of NADH to NAD.
