Abstract A procedure is presented for the automated determination of acid phosphatase activity in biological materials using the Robot Chemist. Although either phenylphosphate and α-naphthylphosphate may be used as substrate in this analysis, the procedure is described in detail for serum acid phosphatase using α-naphthylphosphate in 0.1 M citrate, pH 5.2, since this substrate is more selective for prostatic acid phosphatase in human serum. Enzymically generated aα- naphthol is determined by the Emerson reaction (alkaline aminoantipyrine and ferricyanide), modified for use with this automated system. Correlations are presented between the results obtained on the Robot Chemist and the identical procedure developed for the AutoAnalyzer.

Abstract α-Naphthylphosphate is a selective substrate for the differentiation of prostatic acid phosphatase from erythrocytic acid phosphatase in human serum; its comparative specificity for prostatic enzyme is demonstrated by inhibition studies and by assay of mixtures of both enzymes in serum.

AbstractA procedure for the automated determination of ammonia in tobacco has been developed. Ammonia is extracted from the ground tobacco sample with water and is determined with a Technicon Auto Analyser system which employs separation of the ammonia through volatilization followed by colourimetry using the phenate-hypochlorite reaction. The procedure has been applied to a variety of tobaccos containing from 0.02 to 0.5 % ammonia with an overall relative standard deviation of 2 %. The accuracy of the procedure as judged by recovery tests and by comparison to a manual distillation method is considered adequate
