applications

phadebas used in wide range of applications quality control tests food & beverages detection of saliva stains in forensic investigation.

research , quality

pat used accurately determining α-amylase wide variety of industrial academic applications, e.g.;

α-amylase detergents
biotech research & development (e.g., bacterial excretion of amylase)
dentistry applications
reagent clinical diagnosis of pancreatitis
specialty chemicals

forensics

the phadebas forensic press test used detecting , identifying hidden saliva stains. locating saliva stains challenging task perform light sources these stains don t fluoresce well. study has shown many 40% of saliva stains on garments go undetected when using alternate light sources. test capable of locating saliva deposits on item or surface. said selective because alpha-amylase activity in saliva typically several orders of magnitude higher in other body fluids. methodology has been implemented in forensic labs worldwide many years.

alimentary

the test used determining α-amylase in wide variety of food applications, example in food , beverages:

egg powder
wheat
milk
honey

according eu honey directive, diastase activity composition criterion must determined honeys intended human consumption. official analysis methods determination of diastase activity in honey [schade assay] , phadebas assays, recommended international honey commission. method based on fixed equations instead of standard curve new phadebas honey diastase test developed, ensure stable results independent of batch.
