This new assay utilizes the concentration-dependent, linearly increasing activation effect of aqueous ammonia on the enzyme HRP at alkaline pH values. The special feature of this assay is that the analyte, ammonia, is not directly involved in the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme HRP. Instead, the concentration of the analyte is determined by measuring the increase of the activity of the HRP in the absence and presence of the sample. Accordingly, all relevant assay parameters and concentrations of the components were first carefully evaluated to enable the determination of low aqueous ammonia concentrations while simultaneously achieving a broad linear range. The optimized conditions in the newly developed method for the determination of ammonia were pH 10.0, 4.8 nkat mL<sup>−1</sup> HRP, 2.3 mmol L<sup>−1</sup> <i>o</i>-dianisidine, and 400 µM hydrogen peroxide.

This assay was employed as a two-step assay, starting with the PG reaction conducted at the optimal pH value for the PG used.
