CREATININE REAGENT KIT

(ALKALINE PICRATE METHOD)

INTENDED USE:
The reagent kit is intended for the “in vitro” quantitaive
determination of Creatinine in Serum and Urine.
PROCEDURE :
Pipette into a clean dry test tube labeled as Standard (S)and Test
(T):
SUMMARY:
Creatinine is the catabolic product of creatinine phosphate, which Addition Sequence S T
is used by the skeletal muscle. The daily production depends on Working Reagent 1.0 ml 1.0 ml

PRINCIPLE: change in absorbance DA for both the standard and Test.
Picric acid in an alkaline medium reacts with creatinine to form an
orange coloured complex with the alkaline picrate. Intensity of the Determine For Standard D AS = A2S - A1S
colour formed is directly proportional to the amount of creatinine
present in the sample. For Test D AT = A2T - A 1T
