Vitassay - C-Reactive Protein – Turbidimetric Assay

Intended Use
Vitassay CRP–Turbidimetric Assay- is a Turbidimetric assay for the quantitative detection of C reactive protein in human serum samples.
Simple, non-invasive, and highly sensitivity assay for the measurement of CRP in serum samples which is a suitable marker of inflammation process. This product is optimized for several automated analyzer. Test results should be exclusively be used to evaluate CRP in serum samples.
C reactive protein is considered to be an acute phase protein, an early indicator of infectious or inflammatory conditions due to its involvement in the innate immune system.
CRP determination is useful to detect acute infections and monitoring of inflammatory processes. Under normal conditions, CRP is found in low concentration (less than 5 mg/L), in those situations CRP increases up to 500 mg/L after 6 hours and peak after 48 hours.
Not only it is a more sensitive determination, since the increase of CRP occurs rapidly, it can be used as a indicator before leukocyte count or erythrocyte sedimentation rate can be. Moreover, they decrease faster to baseline values after healing.
Vitassay CRP Turbidimetric Assay- is a quantitative turbidimetric assay for the detection of C reactive protein in human serum samples.
Vitassay CRP Turbidimetric Assay is based on antigen-antibody agglutination reactions between the antigen contained in the sample and the antibodies anti-antigen coated on polystyrene latex particles.
Such agglutination is measured as an increase in absorbance proportional to the quantity of antigen contained in the sample.
The use of an external control is used to verify that the test is working properly.
