mb+ HCO3 Electrolyte Reagent

The mb+ HCO₃ Electrolyte Reagent is a specialized diagnostic reagent designed for the quantitative determination of bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) in biological samples using electrolyte or blood gas analyzers. It plays a crucial role in assessing acid-base balance by measuring total carbon dioxide (TCO₂), which is primarily present as bicarbonate in blood. The reagent is formulated to provide high analytical accuracy, stability, and compatibility with ion-selective electrode (ISE) or enzymatic analyzer systems, ensuring reliable results in routine clinical diagnostics. Bicarbonate measurement is essential for evaluating metabolic and respiratory disorders and is commonly included in electrolyte panels. •Key Features : Accurate bicarbonate measurement: Enables precise determination of HCO₃⁻ levels for acid-base balance assessment. Analyzer compatibility: Suitable for electrolyte and blood gas analyzers using ISE or enzymatic methods. Stable formulation: Ensures consistent performance and reproducible results in routine testing. Supports clinical diagnostics: Helps in diagnosing conditions like acidosis, alkalosis, and electrolyte imbalances.
