Code:
Size:
 

3-Hydroxybutyrate
GMRD-135
60 (3x20) tests (140 analyser cycles). Supersedes kit GMRD-135
 

Instruments:
 

All GM7 Series analysers
 

Principle:

i) The enzyme 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydogenase (3-HBDH) reduces NAD in proportion to the 3-hydroxybutyrate concentration in a brief pre-reaction:
 

 


ii) The rate of oxidation by peroxidase (POD) of the generated NADH is determined in the analyser and under appropriate conditions is directly proportional to the plasma 3-hydroxybutyrate concentration:
