Biochemical Test Kits: LabAssay™ Series

The LabAssay™ Series is a collection of biochemical assay kits for analyzing samples from mice and other animals. Since analyses are performed in microtiter plates, many samples can be concurrently evaluated, and only small sample amounts are needed.

LabAssay™Ammonia
Ammonia is mainly produced in the intestine or the kidney. Ammonia produced in the body is converted to urea through a series of reactions known as the urea cycle in the liver and eliminated through urine.

LabAssay™ ALP
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme distributed in a variety of tissues such as the liver, bone and small intestines in animals. Especially, it is used one of the Osteogenesis Markers in bone metabolism research area.

LabAssay™ Cholesterol
Cholesterol, a major component of cell membranes and the starting material in steroid synthesis in many animals, is a factor behind arteriosclerosis and other vascular diseases.

LabAssay™ Creatineine
Creatinine is a metabolite which is produced by creatine phosphate directly or dehydration of creatine in muscle and nerve. It is excreted from the body through kidney glomerular filtration.

LabAssay™ Glucose
Sugar is one of the most important sources of energy in biology. It is regulated by various factors within an organism. Glucose converges to a stable ratio of α form and β form in solutions.

LabAssay™ NEFA
NEFA (Non-esterified fatty acid) in the blood is transported complexed with an albumin to peripheral tissues. They are important sources of fuel for the peripheral tissues. The concentration of NEFA in the blood is regulated by a release from the adipose tissues, a consumption in the periphral tissues or a take up from the liver.

LabAssay™ Phospholipid
Phospholipids are known as not only as major component of cell membranes but also perform vital functions within the body such as emulsification and absorption of fats or coagulation of blood.

LabAssay™ Tryglyceride
Triglycerides are neutral fats consisting of three fatty acids esterified to a glycerol backbone. There are triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids, free fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins as lipid soluble substances in the blood.
