Detection principle

AST enables alpha-ketoglutaric acid and aspartic acid to displace amino to form glutamic acid and oxaloacetic acid. Oxaloacetic acid can decarboxylate itself to form Pyroracemic acid during the reaction. Pyroracemic acid reacted with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) to form 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone showing reddish brown in alkaline solution. Measure the OD values and calculate the enzyme activity.

Dilution of sample

It is recommended to take 2~3 samples with expected large difference to do pre-experiment before formal experiment and dilute the sample according to the result of the pre-experiment and the detection range (0.38-72.30 IU/L).

The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):

Sample type

Dilution factor
