Albumin Urinary Rat Assay

Summary

Albumin refers generally to any protein with water solubility, which is moderately soluble in concentrated salt solutions, and experiences heat coagulation (protein denaturation). The most well-known type of albumin is the serum albumin in the blood. Serum albumin is the most abundant blood plasma protein and is produced in the liver.

Features

• Highly specific to rat albumin.
• Allows rapid assay and can be applied to various automatic analyzers, preferably HITACHI automatic analyzer 7070.
• Simple treatment with ready-made reagent solutions.
• Minimum influence by turbid and hemolytic samples.
• Can measure albumin also in serum samples.
