- For the quantitative measurement of creatinine.
- No significant interference from samples with elevated levels of lipemia, hemolysis, icterus or ascorbic acid. High reliability of testing.
- Liquid, ready to use reagent. Easy to use, no additional preparation required.
The enzyme creatinine amidohydrolase is used to convert creatinine to creatine. Creatine is broken down to sarcosine and urea by creatine amidinohydrolase. Further enzyme linked steps with sarcosine oxidase and peroxidase yield a colored chromogen read at 545nm.
Creatinine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases, in the monitoring of dialysis patients, and as an integral part of diagnostic equations to measure renal function.
