FAQs

What is the SGOT (AST) test used for?

To assess liver and heart health by measuring AST levels.

How does the SGOT reagent work?

It tracks enzyme kinetics via absorbance at 340 nm.

What samples are needed?

Non-haemolysed human serum.

How many tests per kit?

Roughly 50 tests with standard usage.

Is it compatible with biochemistry analysers?

Yes, if the analyser supports kinetic assays.
