| Description | For the in vitro quantitative determination of Potassium in fresh human serum. Measurements obtained by this assay are used to monitor electrolyte balance. In healthy individuals, an extracellular fluid level of potassium is regulated to maintain at 3.5 - 5.5 mM1. Small deviations from normal levels can have severe health consequences. Monitoring serum potassium concentrations is important in both routine check and emergency rooms. Potassium is determined spectrophotometrically through a kinetic coupling assay system using potassium dependent pyruvate kinase 2-3. Pyruvate generated is converted to lactate accompanying conversion of NADH analog to NAD analog. The corresponding decrease of optical density at 380 nm is proportional to the potassium concentration in the serum. |
