Method Performance Characteristics

Sensitivity: 0.0016 - 0.0024 absorbance units/mg/dL.

Linear Range: 0-200 mg/dL.

Precision: Within-run and day-to-day precision is summarized below.

Intended Use

For IN VITRO diagnostic use in the quantitative determination of Urea Nitrogen in serum using manual or automated applications.

 

Method Principle

The enzyme urease hydrolyzes urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia produced is quantitatively determined by the GLDH-NADH reaction. The decrease in absorbance due to the oxidation of NADH to NAD is monitored at 340nm. The reaction scheme illustrates the reactions that occur in this method:
