Mice were killed by CO2 asphyxiation, and blood was immediately harvested by cardiac puncture. Serum was separated by centrifugation in Microtainer vials containing a serum separation polymer (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ). A kinetic amylase assay was then performed on a Synergy plate reader (BioTek, Winooski, VT) by using an amylase detection reagent according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Pointe Scientific, Canton, MI).
Serum separation polymer
Manufactured by BD
The Serum separation polymer is a lab equipment product that facilitates the separation of serum from whole blood samples. It functions as an inert, non-reactive material that helps to isolate the serum component from the cellular and clotting elements present in the sample.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
