The Creatinine Companion, Kit, Ethos
The Creatinine Assay is designed for companion use with Ethos Biosciences Exocell immunospecific Albumin ELISAs, allowing expression of results as μg protein (i.e. albumin) per mg creatinine in the urine. This is typically used as a normalized value to compare samples. Normalization of albumin excretion in relation to creatinine facilitates classification according to defined ranges of microalbuminuria, the established marker of early diabetic renal dysfunction. The procedure is an adaptation of the alkaline picrate method, and entails determination of the differential absorbance in a sample before and after the addition of acid to correct for color generation due to interfering substances. The Creatinine Companion (Creatinine Assay) kit contains all of the components and reagents you need to assay creatinine of any species in up to 88 duplicate urine samples. This is a chemical assay, does not contain antibodies, and is recommended only for urine. The Creatine Companion kit has been cited in nearly 1000 peer reviewed publications since the 1990's. It is the gold standard in mouse albumin ELISA's for academic and clinical research. This is an RUO kit and not intended for IVD use.
