7.4 PROCEDURE
7.4.1 Assay-1
7.4.1.1 Pipette (in milliliters) the following reagents into suitable containers:
7.4.1.2 2 Mix by swirling and equilibrate to 37 ºC. Then add:

7.4.1.4 Mix by inversion and incubate for five minutes at room temperature. Transfer to suitable cuvettes and measure/record the A660nm for Test-1,Test-2,and Blank-1 versus purified water using a suitable spectrophotometer.
7.4.1.5 If results appear inconsistent, then repeat Steps 7.4.1.1 to 7.4.1.4.
7.4.2 Assay-2
7.4.2.1 Pipette (in milliliters) the following reagents into suitable containers:
7.4.2.2 2 Mix by swirling and equilibrate to 37 ºC. Then add:
7.4.2.3 Mix by swirling and incubate Test-1 for exactly 1.0 minute at 37 ºC and incubate Test-2 for exactly 2.0 minutes. Then add:

7.4.2.5 If results appear inconsistent, then repeat Steps 7.4.2.1 to 7.4.2.4.
7.5 STANDARD CURVE
7.5.1 A standard curve is made by pipetting (in milliliters) the following reagents into suitable containers with vented caps:
7.5.2 Mix by inversion and incubate for five minutes at room temperature. Transfer to suitable cuvette and measure/record the A660nm for standards and standard-blank versus purified water using a suitable spectrophotometer.
7.6 CALCULATIONS
7.6.1 Standard Curve
ΔA660nm Standard = A660nm Std - A660nm Std Blank
Plot the ΔA660nm of the Standards vs μmoles of Phosphorus. Calculate and record the slope, y-intercept, and linear regression(r-square).
7.6.2 Sample Determination
ΔA660nm Sample = A660nmTest-1 or Test-2 - A660nmTest Blank-1
ΔA660nm Sample = A660nm Test-3 or Test-4 - A660nmTest Blank-2
Determine the µmoles of phosphorus liberated using the Standard curve.
df = Dilution Factor
0.005= Volume (in milliliter) of enzyme used or
0.010= Volume (in milliliter) of enzyme used
T= Time (in minutes) of assay per unit definition
