Industry’s First UACR (Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio) Assay Kit

MILPITAS, Calif. - Feb. 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (UACR) is one of the two markers used to determine chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is recommended to be measured on regular basis on people living with Type I and Type II diabetes. Albuminuria is diagnosed when UACR is greater than 30 mg albumin/g creatinine. To enhance your research in CKD, BioVision scientists have come up with the first-ever UACR Assay Kit (K551-100) on the market!

The UACR ratio is determined in two steps: First, albumin is determined by using a probe (AB580) that specifically recognizes albumin (Ex/Em = 600/630 nm). Second, creatinine is converted to sarcosine via enzymatic reactions. Sarcosine is specifically oxidized generating a product that reacts with a probe producing a chromophore that can be detected at 570 nm.

Key Features:
- Simple & Sensitive
- Better than routine urine dipstick: UACR quantitation (2-300 mg/g)
- High-throughput adaptable
- Applications: Useful for measuring albumin & creatinine concentration & UACR ratio
- Fluorometric (Ex/Em = 600/630 nm) and Colorimetric (OD 570 nm) Quantitation
