Patent AT-E399879-T1: [Translated] METHOD FOR DETERMINING VITAL SAMPLES

A method for determining ADP containing in a liquid sample by means of an enzymatic reaction, which comprises reacting the sample at 15 to 45 DEG C at least in the presence of glucose, ADP-dependent hexokinase, and oxidized NAD(P), a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and one or more salts releasing ions selected among magnesium, cobalt, and manganese ions and then determining the ADP contained in the sample together with the AMP resulting from the reaction based on the amount of the reduced NAD(P) yielded. This method has advantages in that the limit of determination is high because ADP is determined based on the amount of the reduced NAD(P) yielded, and that since the reduced NAD (P) has a definite molecular extinction coefficient, the found value is highly reliable and uninfluenced by the reducing substances, etc., contained in the sample. <IMAGE>
