In the human body, α-amylase is mainly produced in the pancreas or salivary glands, and hair amylase in body fluids such as serum and urine becomes deviant in certain diseases. Clinically useful diagnosis is possible by measuring α-amylase in serum or urine. For example, α-amylase activity in serum shows a nearly constant value in healthy people, but in patients with acute pancreatitis, the content of α-amylase in serum increases and affects important clinical parameters such as pancreatic function.

Conventionally, methods for measuring α-amylase have been reported or practiced, such as the iodine-starch reaction method, the turbidimetric method, the blue starch method, and various enzyme methods, but these methods have many problems. For example, in the iodine-starch reaction method and nephelometry, which use starch as a substrate for α-amylase, it is extremely difficult to consistently obtain starch of constant quality. In addition, the blue starch method requires centrifugation during the quantitative operation, making it difficult to apply to automatic analysis equipment and making it impossible to measure reaction rates using the late assay method. Even with enzymatic methods, it is difficult to eliminate glucose and maltose carried over from serum and urine samples. A coloring method using an aromatic substituted substance (such as paranitrophenol (pNP)) for the reducing terminal hydroxyl group of an oligosaccharide has also been proposed. In each of these substrates, the α-1,4-glucosidic bond in the molecule is cleaved by α-amylase, and the resulting product is further degraded by externally added coupled enzymes such as α-glucosidase and β-glucosidase, resulting in the final product. free pNP is generated. This generated pNP was measured at 400nm.
This method attempts to measure α-amylase activity by measuring in the vicinity.

However, in this method, the absorption maximum of pNP, which is the final measurement target, is around 400 nm, so

That is, when measuring α-amylase activity, the present invention uses a G6P-linked oligosaccharide or 6PG-linked oligosaccharide as a substrate and adds an α-amylase-containing sample simultaneously or after the addition of α-amylase.
