Conjugated (direct) bilirubin reacts with diazotized 2,4-dichloroaniline in acidic solution to produce an intensely colored red diazo compound (520-560 nm). The intensity of color of this dye in solution is proportional to the concentration of direct bilirubin.

108
Q

Bilirubin reacts with diazotized 3.5-dichloroaniline to produce an intensely colored diazo compound (490-520 nm). The intensity of color of this dye in solution is proportional to the concentration of total bilirubin. Free bilirubin is not soluble in aqueous media, but this reagent contains an association of surfactant and accelerators in order to provide an accurate measurement of total bilirubin.

A

109
Q

The enzyme glucose oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid and H2O2. The H2O2 reacts with phenol and 4-aminoantipyrine in the presence of peroxidase to form a quinoneimine dye. The intensity of the color formed (pink) is proportional to the glucose concentration and can be measured photometrically between 480 and 520 nm.

Q

The CERA-STATTM 4000 is a boronate affinity assay. The CERA-STATTM HbA1c Test Kit consists of the test device, the R1 reagent and the R2 reagent. The R1 reagent contains the agents that lyse erythrocytes and precipitate hemoglobin specifically, as well as a blue boronic acid conjugate that binds cis-diol of glycated hemoglobin.

A

GLYCOSYLATED HEMOGLOBIN

111
Q

When blood is added to the R1 reagent, the erythrocytes are lysed and all hemoglobin precipitates. The boronic acid conjugate binds to the cis-diol configuration of glycated hemoglobin. An aliquot of the reaction mixture is added to the test device and all the precipitated hemoglobin, conjugatebound and unbound, remains on top of the filter. Any unbound boronate is removed with the R2 reagent. The precipitate is evaluated by measuring the blue (glycated hemoglobin) and the red (total hemoglobin) color intensity respectively with the CERA-STATTM 4000 Analyzer, the ratio between them being proportional to the percentage of glycated hemoglobin in the sample.

115
Q

Creatinine reacts with picric acid in an alkaline environment to form a red-colored product (creatinine picrate). The intensity of the red color is directly proportional to creatinine concentration which can be measured at 500-520 nm. The use of a surfactant and sodium tetraborate keeps interferences at minimum

A

CREATININE

116
Q

Uric acid in the sample is oxidized by uricase to allantoin and hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide reacts with ADPS and 4-aminoantipyrine in the presence of peroxidase to yield quinoneimine dye. The intensity of the dye is measured photometrically (510-560) and is directly proportional to the concentration of uric acid in the sample.

Q

Cholesterol ester hydrolase hydrolyzes cholesterol esters to free cholesterol and fatty acids. Cholesterol oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of free cholesterol to cholest-4-ene-3-one and hydrogen peroxide. The H2O2 reacts with p-chlorophenol and 4-aminoantipyrine in the presence of peroxidase to form a quinoneimine dye. The intensity of color formed is proportional to the cholesterol concentration and can be measured photometrically between 480 and 520 nm.

A

Total Cholesterol

118
Q

Triglycerides are hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase to produce glycerol and free fatty acids. The glycerol participates in a series of coupled enzymatic reactions in which glycerol kinase / glycerol phosphate oxidase are involved and H2O2 is generated. H2O2 reacts with TOPS and 4aminoantipyrine in the presence of peroxidase to form a quinoneimine dye. The intensity of color formed is proportional to the triglyceride concentration and can be measured photometrically at 546 nm

Q

Anti-human 3 lipoprotein antibody in Reagent A binds to lipoproteins (LDL, VLDL and chylomicrons) other than HDL. The antigen-antibody complexes formed block enzyme reactions when Reagent B is added. Cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase in Reagent B react only with HDL-C. Hydrogen peroxide produced by the enzyme reactions with HDL-C yields a blue color complex upon oxidative condensation of F-DAOS [N-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-3,5dimethoxy-4-fluoroaniline, sodium salt] and 4-aminoantipyrine in the presence of peroxidase. By measuring the absorbance of the blue color complex produced, at the optimum wavelength of 593 nm, the HDL-C concentration in the sample can be calculated when compared with the absorbance of the HDL-C calibrator.

A

HDL – C

120
Q

When a sample is mixed with Reagent 1, the protecting reagent binds to LDL and protects it from enzyme reactions. Cholesterol esterase (ChE) and cholesterol oxidase (ChO) react with non-LDL lipoproteins (chylomicrons, VLDL and HDL). Hydrogen peroxide produced by the enzyme reactions with non-LDL cholesterol is decomposed by catalase in Reagent 1. When Reagent 2 is added, the protecting agent is removed from LDL and catalase is inactivated. In this second process, ChE and ChO react only with LDL-C. Hydrogen peroxide produce by the enzyme reactions with LDL-C yields a color complex upon oxidase condensation with N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-3,5-dimethoxyaniline (HDAOS) AND 4aminoantipyrine (4AA) in the presence of peroxidase (POD). By measuring the absorbance of the blue color complex produced at approximately 600 nm, the LDL-C concentration in the sample can be calculated when compared with the absorbance of the LDL-C calibrator.
