Crest Total Protein Test - 1 x 150ml

The Crest Total Protein Test is a biochemistry reagent designed for the accurate measurement of total protein levels in biological samples. This test is crucial for evaluating nutritional status, assessing liver and kidney function, and identifying various health conditions. It aids in detecting both elevated protein levels, which can be indicative of conditions like hemoconcentration or increased specific protein concentrations, and reduced protein levels, often associated with hemodilution, impaired protein synthesis, protein loss due to hemorrhage, or excessive protein catabolism.

This test kit contains high-quality reagents and materials specifically optimized for precise total protein measurement. The methodology is based on the biuret reaction, where proteins react with cupric ions in an alkaline solution to form a distinctive colored complex, with the intensity of the color directly proportional to the total protein concentration in the sample. The reagent is provided in a ready-to-use liquid format.

The Crest Total Protein Test is intended for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use. Total protein test systems, including those utilizing the biuret (colorimetric) method, are classified as Class 2 medical devices under FDA regulation number 862.1635, with product code CEK. The 150ml container offers a generous quantity, providing ample supply for multiple tests and contributing to cost-effectiveness in laboratory settings.
