Each cuvette (path length 1 cm) contained 3ml of a suitable assay buffer (including pyruvate as substrate). 20 microlitres of either serum was added to the cuvette and the absorbance values immediately recorded at the optimum wavelength for a period of 5 minutes (absorbance readings taken every 30 seconds).
