Detection Principle
Gln is hydrolyzed to produce glutamic acid under the action of glutaminase. Glutamic acid is further catalyzed by glutamic acid dehydrogenase. Meanwhile, NAD+ is reduced to NADH, Which under the action of hydrogen transmitter, transfer electrons to WST-8 to produce the yellow product. The content of Gln can be calculated by measuring the change of absorbance value at 450 nm.

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 (mmol/L) | 0.08 | 0.75 | 1.50 |
| %CV | 3.5 | 3.1 | 3.0 |
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 (mmol/L) | 0.08 | 0.75 | 1.50 |
| %CV | 4.5 | 4.9 | 4.7 |
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 97%.
| Standard 1 | Standard 2 | Standard 3 | |
| Expected Conc. (mmol/L) | 0.5 | 0.9 | 1.75 |
| Observed Conc. (mmol/L) | 0.5 | 0.9 | 1.7 |
| Recovery rate(%) | 99 | 95 | 97 |
Sensitivity
The analytical sensitivity of the assay is 0.036 mmol/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.
Standard Curve
As the OD value of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique or temperature effects), so the standard curve and data are provided as below for reference only:
| Concentration (mmol/L) | 0 | 0.4 | 0.6 | 0.8 | 1.2 | 1.6 | 1.8 | 2.0 |
| Average OD | 0.017 | 0.143 | 0.203 | 0.271 | 0.389 | 0.508 | 0.572 | 0.625 |
| Absoluted OD | 0 | 0.126 | 0.186 | 0.254 | 0.371 | 0.491 | 0.555 | 0.608 |
