Product description
Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism and is excreted into the urine through kidney filtration. Many kidney diseases can affect uric acid levels, so the determination of uric acid is of great importance in the diagnosis and assessment of kidney diseases. This assay kit utilizes uricase to specifically act on uric acid, and the oxidized product reacts with a color reagent to present a pink-red color. The colored substance has a maximum absorption peak at 520nm, and the uric acid content can be calculated from it.
