Method for the determination of disaccharidases and kit therefor

摘要

A method for the determination of disaccharidase in a duodenum biopsy sample, which method comprises the steps of: contacting the sample as such with a substrate medium containing a disaccharide; and determining the presence of a desired monosaccharide in the substrate medium by using an assay system for said monosaccharide. The invention is aimed also at a kit for use in carrying out the said method, the kit comprising a substrate medium containing the said disaccharide for contacting with the biopsy sample; and means for the determination of the presence of a desired monosaccharide in the substrate medium after exposure of the substrate medium to the biopsy sample.
