8.4 Two Points analysis method
Two points analysis method (fixed time assay) is also named as first class
dynamics analysis method, which means during a certain period time of reaction,
reaction speed is in direct proportion to the simple power of substrate
concentration in specified time, namely v=k[S]. Due to the reduction of
substrate, the whole reaction speed is decreasing gradually, which shows the
increase (decrease) of absorbance. Because it takes a very long time to reach
balance, it can be monitored at any time theoretically, but due to the
complexity of serum ingredient, it must take a certain period of time to enter
into stable reaction phase.
