Abstract:
A method of measuring enzyme activity, comprising:providing a base plate having a mating side; providing a removable member having a first sealable surface and a second sealable surface and defining at least one orifice extending between the first sealable surface and the second sealable surface; reversibly sealing the first sealable surface of the removable member to the mating side of the base plate; adding at least one enzyme substrate to the at least one orifice for immobilizing the at least one enzyme substrate on the base plate; exposing the at least one enzyme substrate to at least one enzyme via the at least one orifice; and measuring a level of activity of the at least one enzyme by measuring changes in the at least one enzyme substrate.
