Measurement of Alkaline Phosphatase Activity

  • Chapter
Book cover Alkaline Phosphatase

Abstract

This chapter will discuss some practical aspects of alkaline phosphatase assays. While the remarks are based predominantly on experience gained with human blood serum, many of the points raised are also applicable to the assay of alkaline phosphatases from other sources.
