Key Benefits of the Randox Amylase reagent
Wide measuring range
The healthy range for amylase is 30 – 100 U/l. The Randox reagent can comfortably detect levels outside of this range measuring between 7.3 – 1245 µmol/l.
Excellent stability
Stable to expiry when stored at +2 to +8°C
Liquid ready-to-use reagents
The Randox reagent comes in a liquid ready-to-use format which is more convenient as the reagent does not need to be reconstituted which aids in reducing the risk of errors occurring
Other Features of the Randox Amylase reagent
- Ethylidene PNPG7 method
- Liquid and lyophilised reagents available
- Stable to expiry when stored at +2 to +8°C
- Measuring range 7.3 – 1245 µmol/l

What is Amylase assay used for?
What is amylase?
It is a digestive enzyme / special protein produced by the pancreas and salivary glands. Salivary amylase is responsible for breaking down starch in the mouth and converting it into maltose. Pancreatic amylase passes through a duct from the pancreas to the small intestine where the digestive process is completed through converting starch into glucose. The glucose is then absorbed into the blood and carried throughout the body.
What is the amylase assay used for?
Damage or inflammation to the pancreas can result in under / over production of amylase which can be a sign of pancreatic disorder which includes pancreatic pseudocyst, pancreatic abscess, pancreatic cancer, gallbladder disease, mumps or ectopic pregnancy. For more information on pancreatic cancer, please click here [external link]. The Randox assay is used for the quantitative in vitro determination of amylase activity in serum, urine and plasma.
