On evaluation, an S-type alpha-amylase inhibitor from Sigma shows essentially the same performance characteristics as the inhibitor from wheat germ prepared according to O'Donnell and McGeeney (Biochim Biophys Acta 422:159, 1976). This inhibitor is now commercially available; thus any clinical laboratory can perform isoamylase determinations with a simple, fast procedure that is also suitable for emergency situations.
