Abstract: | Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is applied to the determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in human sera.
4-nitrophenylphosphate was found to be an excellent ALP substrate for FT-IR spectroscopic detection. The developed method
is based on the acquisition of two FT-IR spectra: one recorded immediately after mixing the sample and assay solution and
the other after an incubation time of 10 min. Spectral changes in the mid IR range due to the enzymatic reaction could be
correlated to the ALP activity in the sample. Experimental conditions were established such that the clinically relevant range
for determination of ALP activity in human sera (50 to 900 U/L) was covered. The method was applied to the analysis of ALP
activities in standard solutions as well as in human sera yielding results which agreed well with those obtained by a standard
reference method.
