CheKine™ Micro Albumin (Alb) Content Assay Kit

Albumin is synthesized by hepatocytes and is the most abundant protein in plasma. It plays important physiological roles, including the maintenance of colloid osmotic pressure, and the binding of long-chain fatty acids, bile acids, bilirubin, heme, calcium, and magnesium ions. Albumin possesses antioxidant and anticoagulant properties, acts as a carrier for nutrients and drugs, and also functions as a buffer for plasma pH. The level of serum albumin is directly associated with the progression of liver diseases, kidney diseases, malnutrition, or protein-losing enteropathies, making it an important indicator in clinical diagnostics. CheKine™ Micro Albumin (Alb) Content Assay Kit provides a simple, convenient, and rapid method for determining albumin content, suitable for both serum and urine samples. The principle is based on the fact that albumin carries a positive charge in a buffer solution at pH 4.2, and can bind to the negatively charged dye bromocresol green to form a blue-green complex. This complex has an absorption peak at 630 nm, and within a certain range, the intensity of the color is directly proportional to the concentration of albumin.

Storage at 4°C and Keep from light immediately upon receipt. Kit has a storage time of 12 months from receipt. Refer to list of materials supplied for storage conditions of individual components.

• If not assayed immediately, samples can be stored at -80°C for one month.• It is recommended to perform several dilutions of your sample to ensure the readings are within the standard value range.• Fresh samples are necessary for good results. If don't perform the assay at the same time, it's better to complete the Sample Preparation step before storing the samples.
