Uric Acid (UA)
L-Type UA MFor In Vitro Diagnostic Use
Intended Use
L-Type UA M is an in vitro assay for the quantitative determination of uric acid in serum, plasma or urine.
Method
Uricase-HMMPS Method
Special Characteristics
L-Type UA M is not interfered significantly by other serum components. This reagent is based on Uricase-HMMPS method using color former HMMPS (N-(3-sulfopropyl)-3-methoxy-5-methylaniline) which Wako developed. The sensitivity of this reagent is stable.
Principle of the Method
Uric acid in a specimen is oxidized in a reaction catalyzed by uricase that produces hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide formed causes N-(3-sulfopropyl)-3-methoxy-5-methylaniline (HMMPS) and 4-aminoantipyrine to undergo a quantitative oxidative condensation catalyzed by peroxidase (POD), producing a blue pigment. The amount of uric acid contained in the sample is determined by measuring the absorbance of the blue color.
