For IN VITRO diagnostic use in the quantitative determination of Creatine Kinase (CK) in serum using manual or automated applications.
The Creatine Kinase enzyme catalyzes the conversion of Creatine Phosphate and Adenosine Diphosphate to Creatine and ATP. The resultant ATP is quantitatively determined by coupling a hexokinase (HK) reaction and a Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase (GPDH) reaction to the CK reaction. GPDH catalyzes the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phosphogluconic acid with concomitant reduction of NADP. The amount of NADPH produced is proportional to the CK activity present in the serum sample and its concentration is measured by the increase in absorbance at 340nm. The reaction scheme below illustrates the reactions that occur in this method.
Catachem Creatine Kinase Working Reagent is prepared by adding the corresponding CK Diluent volume to the CK Reagent container.
Catachem Creatine Kinase Reagents are stored at 2-8°C. When stored as directed, these reagents are stable until the expiration date stated on the label. Store the Creatine Kinase Working Reagent (liquid) at 2-8°C. When prepared and stored as directed, the Creatine Kinase Working Reagent is
stable for seven days.
Sensitivity: 0.00023-0.00028 absorbance units/u/L.
Linear Range: 0-1200 u/L.
Precision: Within-run and day-to-day precision is summarized below:
