Additional Information for Uricase
Uricase is an enzyme that is used in in vitro diagnostic substances, reagents, test kits, and sets in the supply group of medical, dental, and veterinary equipment and supplies. Uricase is specifically used for the measurement of uric acid levels in biological samples, such as blood or urine.
Uric acid is a waste product that is produced when the body breaks down purines, which are found in certain foods and are also produced by the body. Elevated levels of uric acid can be an indication of various medical conditions, such as gout, kidney disease, or certain types of cancer.
Uricase works by catalyzing the oxidation of uric acid to allantoin, which is a more soluble and less toxic compound. This reaction can be measured using various analytical methods, such as colorimetric or enzymatic assays, to determine the concentration of uric acid in the sample.
The use of Uricase in diagnostic substances, reagents, test kits, and sets allows healthcare professionals to accurately measure uric acid levels, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of conditions related to uric acid metabolism.
It is important to note that Uricase is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only and should be used by trained professionals following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
