lipase sample has total units 1 0 0 KU and specifc activity 4 5 0 0 0 u / mg of protein, sample weight is

lipase sample has total units 100KU and specifc activity 45000u/mg of protein, sample weight is 2.22mg. i need enzyme activity. vender method used here to calculate specific activity is Procedure
Equilbrate with stirring 15 ml of substrate 25C \pm 0.2C for Lipase, EPC No.L397, and EPC No.HL938, and to 37\deg C \pm 0.3C for Lipase EPC No.LC452 and EPC No.IC398. Titrate to a steady pH 8.5 with 0.1 M NaOH. Add 0.002 to 0.004 mg of enzyme. When the pH reaches 8.0 start a timer and deliver titrant (0.0100 M NaOH) having the outlet from the buret ca.5 mm below the surface of the stirring reaction mixture. (It is convenient to use silicone tubing from the buret tip to reaction mixture.) Maintain a constant pH 8.0 for 2 to 4 minutes and record the sample volume of titrant delivered per minute. Determine a blank rate by repeating the titrant in procedure on 15.0 ml of substrate without added enzyme. The blank volume of titrant should be less than 0.10 ml during 2 to 4 minutes. Record the blank volume of titrant delivered per minute.
Calculation of Specific Activity
units /mg=((Sample Vol-Blank Vol) x 0.01200 x 1000)/mg Enzyme
