1. A method for the quantitative determination of the pancreatic and salivary α

  • -amylases in an aqueous solution sample containing glucose as a contaminant comprising the steps of passing said sample through a scavenger stage containing immobilized scavenger reagents capable of reacting with and removing said glucose as a sample contaminant in the said determination, passing said glucose-free sample through a substrate stage comprising an immobilized starch reagent capable of reacting quantitatively with said α

    -amylases to produce oligosaccharides, passing said oligosaccharides-containing sample through a glucose-generating stage comprising an immobilized glucose-generating reagent capable of reacting said oligosaccharides to a glucose reaction product, passing said glucose reaction product containing sample to a detection stage comprising an immobilized reagent capable of reacting with said glucose reaction product to generate hydrogen peroxide, determining the amount of said hydrogen peroxide generated in detection means, and relating the detection reading from said detection means to the quantitative amount of α

    -amylases contained in said sample.
