Uric Acid Assay Kit

Product details

Uric Acid Assay Kit (ab65344) provides a convenient means for detecting uric acid in biological samples such as serum and urine. Pretreatment of samples is not required.

Uric acid level can be measured using fluorometric (at Ex/Em = 535/587 nm) or colorimetric (at λ= 570 nm) methods.

Uric acid assay protocol summary:
- add reaction mix to samples and standards
- incubate for 30 min
- analyze on microplate reader

This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K608 Uric Acid Colorimetric/Fluorometric Assay Kit. K608-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab65344.

Uric acid in serum is the end product of purine metabolism, and is cleared through the kidney by glomerular filtration. However, human often lacks the necessary enzyme called urate oxidase (Uricase), and therefore abnormal uric acid may be accumulated in blood. Recent evidences show the close association between serum urate level and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, especially among persons at high cardiovascular risk, including those with hypertension, diabetes and congestion heart failure.
