| α-AMS

α-Amylase is an enzyme (systematic name 4-α-D-glucan glucanohydrolase) is the major form of amylase found in humans and other mammals.It is also present in seeds containing starch as a food reserve, and is secreted by many fungi. It is a member of glycoside hydrolase family 13.α-Amylase has exhibited efficacy in degrading polymicrobial bacterial biofilms by hydrolyzing the α(1→4) glycosidic linkages within the structural, matrix exopolysaccharides of the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS).
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (ng/mL)	100	50	25	12.5	6.25	3.12	1.56	0
OD	0.15	0.2	0.31	0.52	0.83	1.29	1.63	2.34

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Bovine α-AMS spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Serum(n=8)	84-101	96
Plasma(n=8)	92-105	102

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Bovine α-AMS and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	82-93	88-96
	Average (%)	90	93
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-103	87-110
	Average (%)	94	98
