ABSTRACT:
Theophylline can be determined with an analytical element, composition, kit and method which utilize the inhibition, by theophylline, of alkaline phosphatase activity on an appropriate substrate. The assay is carried out at a pH of 9 or less. The element comprises an absorbent carrier material, a suitable buffer for maintaining the pH at 9 or less, and, in fluid contact, a first zone containing an isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase which is capable of activity at pH 9 or less, and a second zone containing a substrate for the isoenzyme. Use of this invention avoids the effect of endogenous alkaline phosphatase found in human biological fluids which has no activity at pH 9 or less.
