Triethanolamine, abbreviated as TEA, and diethanolamine, abbreviated as DEA, both belong to the ethanolamine family of compounds. Their molecules contain both amine groups and hydroxyethyl structures, giving them a certain degree of hydrophilicity, alkalinity, and salt-forming ability.
This protocol is used to establish a standardized operating procedure for measuring alkaline phosphatase activity using a diethanolamine (DEA) buffer system. It is suitable for enzymatic determination of alkaline phosphatase products whose activities are calibrated using a diethanolamine assay ...
