Homocysteine in Plasma
Complete Kit, Order No. 23000

 

Homocysteine is an established marker to estimate the risk towars atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. An elevated plasma homocysteine level (hyperhomocysteinemia), whether due to nutrient deficiencies or by genetic defects, can be reduced by intake of folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12. Therefore, the determination of homocysteine does not only serve for the risk assessment towards atherosclerotic affections but also to ensure the proper combination and dosage of a nutrition supplement therapy.

The test kit of RECIPE allows the simultaneous analysis of total homocysteine (tHcys) and total cysteine (tCys). The analytical method features in a reliable sample preparation (specific derivatisation reagent) and a quick chromatography (injection interval: 5 min).

 
  • Determination of tHcys and tCys


  • Reliable sample preparation
    (specific derivatisation
    of the analytes)


  • Quick chromatography:
    ( Injection interval: 5 min)
