## Background: Telomeric repeat amplification protocol using internal telomerase assay standard (itas) (conventional trap) has detected telomerase activity in various malignant tumors. with conventional trap, it is difficult to differentiate quantitatively low levels of telomerase activity between

โฆ Synopsis
A quantitative fluorescence lipase assay based on the interaction of rhodamine B with fatty acids released during the enzymatic hydrolysis of triglycerides is described. The assay is linear over the range of 0.5-2 mM oleic acid and 0.05-1 microgram pure lipase. The method allows flexibility in the choice of substrate. A large number of samples can be assayed simultaneously, making it practical for assaying lipase activity in column fractions during purification. The substrate profiles of Geotrichum candidum lipase obtained by both a titrimetric assay and the RTA assay indicated the highest activity against triolein. The method is rapid and can be further automated.
