The use of an amylase-sensitive paper in a screening test for elevated serum amylase levels is described. The paper requires some modification before it can be used as a quantitative amylase assay, but even in its present form it will reliably identify samples with raised amylase levels. In tests with sera received routinely for amylase assay the paper characterised 80% of samples as Normal. Quantitative amylase assay confirmed the results, and thus, even with the present paper, if only the Medium or High sera were sent to the laboratory for full biochemical analysis there would be an 80% decrease in requests.
本文描述了在血清淀粉酶水平升高的筛查试验中使用对淀粉酶敏感的试纸。在将该试纸用作定量淀粉酶测定之前，需要进行一些改进，但即便以其目前的形式，它也能可靠地识别出淀粉酶水平升高的样本。在对常规接收的用于淀粉酶测定的血清进行的测试中，该试纸将80%的样本判定为正常。定量淀粉酶测定证实了这些结果，因此，即使使用目前的试纸，如果仅将中等或高值血清样本送去实验室进行全面生化分析，检测请求数量将减少80%。
