For the quantitative determination of Sodium in human serum and plasma.
METHODOLOGY
Sodium is determined enzymatically via sodium dependent β -galactosidase activity with ONPG as substrate.The absorbance at 405 nm of the product O-nitrophenyl is proportional to the sodium concentration.
Precautions:
1. This reagent is for in vitro diagnostic use only.
2. DO NOT INGEST. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
3. Do not pipette by mouth. Reagent R1 and R2 contain Proclin 300. Avoid ingestion or contact with skin or mucous membranes. In case of skin contact, flush affected area with copious amounts of water.
REAGENT PREPARATION
All the reagents are ready to use.
REAGENT DETERIORATION
Do not use the reagent if: Presence of particles and turbidity.
SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND STORAGE
For use non-hemolysed serum .
