| Description | For the in vitro quantitative determination of Carbon Dioxide content in human serum or plasma. The CO2 levels in the blood are influenced by kidney and respiratory (lung) function. Lower-than-normal levels of HCO3– may indicate ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis, kidney disease, diarrhea, methanol poisoning, salicylate toxicity (such as aspirin overdose), ethylene glycol poisoning, or Addison disease (adrenal gland insufficiency). Higher-than-normal levels of HCO3– may indicate excessive vomiting, respiratory dysfunction (breathing disorders), hyperaldosteronism, or Cushing syndrome. Historic procedures to measure HCO3– in the laboratory usually involve addition of acid to liberate CO2, followed by measurement by volumetric, manometric, thermal conductivity or GC/MS, or ISE methods. These procedures are both time consuming and cumbersome. Bio-Quant Carbon Dioxide Enzymatic Assay is a quick, easy to use enzymatic procedure applicable to routine laboratory instrumentation. |
