title: A simple modification to an LKB 8600 reaction rate analyser for rapid measurement of enzymes showing lag phases in a coupled system.
abstract: An enzyme assay which utilizes a coupled enzyme system may show a lag phase. To help to overcome problems associated with the kinetic measurement of these enzymes a modification to an LKB 8600 reaction rate analyser is described. It has been applied successfully to a kinetic method for the measurement of 5'-nucleotidase activity in serum.
