Modification of the Vickers SP120 continuous flow analyser to accommodate the Scandinavian recommended conditions of enzyme analysis for aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase.

It is important that recommendations of expert bodies for the estimation of enzymes are not undermined by laboratories at District General Hospital level adopting manufacturers' procedures. Three enzyme assay methods are presented which enable adaptation of SCE kinetic methods to the end point type of determination performed on the Vickers SP120 continuous flow analyser. Despite the differences in analytical principle, good precision and correlation was obtained.
