Beta-Hydroxybutyrate LiquiColor®: Quantitative and quick test for ketosis

Description

EKF Diagnostics' Beta-Hydroxybutyrate LiquiColor® assay is a liquid enzymatic reagent for the quantitative measurement of beta-hydroxybutyrate (B-HB) in human serum or plasma. The test is intended for use on open-channel clinical chemistry analyzers. Its primary purpose is the monitoring of ketosis, a condition relevant to the management of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Quantitative results facilitate tracking patient response to treatment over time. The assay may also be applied in the assessment of other metabolic states characterized by elevated ketone bodies, including conditions related to alcoholism or certain metabolic disorders. Users should confirm regional availability with the manufacturer or distributor.
