Amylase Diffusion

Quantitative

Positive result (i.e. clearing) for amylase is equal/larger than the 1:100 dilution

• Elevated levels of amylase were detected on _______, which indicates the presence of saliva.

Amylase Diffusion

Quantitative

Positive result (i.e. clearing) is between the 1:100 dilution and the 1:500 dilution

• Amylase was detected on _______. Amylase activity at this level has been observed in saliva as well as other biological fluids.  

Amylase Diffusion

Quantitative

Positive result (i.e. clearing) is less than the 1:500 dilution

• Low levels of amylase were detected on _______. Amylase activity at this level is inconclusive for the presence of saliva.

Amylase Diffusion

Non-Quantitative

Positive (i.e. clearing)

• Analysis of __ gave chemical indications for the presence of amylase, a component of saliva.

Amylase Diffusion

Quantitative or Non-Quantitative

Negative-no amylase activity is observed
