PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
R1 50 mmol/L
Phophate pH 7.7 Measuring range: Up to linearity limit of 0.250 A/30 s.
Buffer
If the results obtained were greater than linearity limit, dilute the sample 1/2 with
R2 5,5-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid (5,5 DTNB) 0.25 mmol/L NaCl 9 g/L and multiply the result by 2.
Substrate Butyrylthiocholine 7 mmol/L Accuracy: Results obtained using SPINREACT reagents (y) did not show
systematic differences when compared with other commercial reagents (x).
CHE-DIBUCAINE The results of the performance characteristics depend on the analyzer used.

Working reagent (WR): Young et. al3,4.
Dissolve ( ) one tablet of R 2 Substrate in one vial of R 1.
Cap vial and mix gently to dissolve contents. NOTES
Inhibition (WR-I): 1. Use glass containers only. Inhibitors may be extracted from some plastics.
2. SPINREACT has instruction sheets for several automatic analyzers.
Add 300 L of R 3 Inhibitor to working reagent (WR).
Instructions for many of them are available on request.
Stability: 2 hours at 2-8ºC.
