This test requires drawing about 5-10 mL of blood. The patient should not have a rectal exam or prostate massage for two to three days prior to the test.

.A person being tested for alkaline phosphatase should not have anything to eat or drink, except water, for eight to ten hours before the test.
The concentrated sulphuric acid solution is the preferred catalyst for the preparation of esters. Rarely used is the hydrochloric acid as a gas.
measures the amount of acid phosphatase in a person's blood, and can determine from what tissue the enzyme is coming. For example, it is important to know if the increased acid phosphatase is from the prostate or red blood cells

The phosphatase test in milk measures the amount of phosphatase enzyme in the milk. The phosphatase enzyme should be inactivated by pasteurisation. If the phosphatase test is not negative, there is a problem with pasteurisation or recontamination with unpasteurised milk.
