would it not be easier to eliminate the ESR test rather than the amylase
activity ?

Subject: Amylase inhibitor
Dear colleague,
Does anybody know how to inhibit amylase completely in combination with
keeping the
sample matrix intact?
In order to make a control material to check our erythrocyte sedimentation
rate we
added eloHAES, an artificial starch-based colloid, to blood. This works fine
for some
hours, after which amylase in the sample has degraded the eloHAES. Therefore
I would
like to eliminate amylase activity.
Best regards,
Christian
