Abstract
Quantitative assay and reagent for the determination of chlorine ion in body fluid. Body fluid is contacted with a reagent which includes deactivated .alpha.-amylase, a compound capable of chelating calcium ion, a calcium chelate compound, and an .alpha.-amylase activity-measuring substance; the amount of .alpha.-amylase activity is proportional to the amount of chlorine ion present in the body fluid. The assay is suitable for automation.
