Dilution of Sample
The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):
| Sample type | Dilution factor |
| 10% Rat kidney tissue homogenate | 2-4 |
| 10% Rat liver tissue homogenate | 2-4 |
| 10% Rat heart tissue homogenate | 2-4 |
| 10% Mouse liver tissue homogenate | 2-4 |
| Bovine serum | 1 |
| 10% pleurotus cornucopiae tissue homogenate | 1 |
| 10% beech mushroom tissue homogenate | 1 |
Note: The diluent is extraction solution. For the dilution of other sample types, please do pretest to confirm the dilution factor.
Detection Principle
GOGAT catalysis the reaction that transfer the amino from glutamine to a-KG to form two molecules of glutamic acid using NADH as the electron donor. The decreasing rate of NADH that can be measured at 340 nm can reflect the activity of GOGAT.

Technical Data:
Parameter:
Intra-assay Precision
Three human serum samples were assayed in replicates of 20 to determine precision within an assay (CV = Coefficient of Variation).
| Parameters | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean (U/L) | 13.50 | 84.50 | 167.00 |
| %CV | 2.9 | 2.4 | 2.2 |
Inter-assay Precision
Three human serum samples were assayed 20 times in duplicate by three operators to determine precision between assays.
| Parameters | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean (U/L) | 13.50 | 84.50 | 167.00 |
| %CV | 5.7 | 5.4 | 6.3 |
Recovery
Take three samples of high concentration, middle concentration and low concentration to test the samples of each concentration for 6 times parallelly to get the average recovery rate of 104%.
| Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 | |
| Expected Conc. (U/L) | 56.7 | 148 | 252 |
| Observed Conc. (U/L) | 56.1 | 155.4 | 272.2 |
| Recovery rate (%) | 99 | 105 | 108 |
Sensitivity
The analytical sensitivity of the assay is 8.84 U/L. This was determined by adding two standard deviations to the mean O.D. obtained when the zero standard was assayed 20 times, and calculating the corresponding concentration..
