Homocysteine assay kit HY4036

for clinical chemistryenzymatic

The Randox homocysteine assay is available in a two-part liquid ready-to-use format, limiting interference from bilirubin, haemoglobin, triglycerides and intralipid®, producing more accurate and precise results. Exceptional correlation The Randox homocysteine assay is standardised to the NIST SRM 1955 (Homocysteine Standard Reference Material) displaying a correlation coefficient of r=0.98 when compared to industry comparative methods. Excellent measuring range The Randox homocysteine assay has a measuring range of 1.7 – 47.9 μmol/l for the comfortable detection of clinically important results. Calibrator included in the kit The Randox homocysteine kit includes the calibrator simplifying the ordering process. Controls available Controls available offering a complete testing package. Applications available Applications available detailing instrument-specific settings for the convenient use of the Randox homocysteine assay on a variety of clinical chemistry analysers. Homocysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid produced by the intracellular demethylation of the essential amino acid, methionine. Homocysteine has three metabolic functions within the human body: firstly, to be remethylated into methionine; secondly, to enter the biosynthetic pathway of cysteine; and thirdly, to be released into the extracellular medium (blood and urine). The third metabolic function is the direct cause of elevated homocysteine concentrations in urine and plasma
