Urea Assay Kits

Urea assay kits are available from a number of suppliers to detect the level of urea in a biological sample. Urea, which contains two amino groups, is an important metabolite responsible for the maintenance of ammonium levels in the body. Abnormal urea concentrations could be indicative of nephritis, liver conditions, urinary tract obstructions, or diabetes. Colorimetric urea assay kits use a chromogenic reagent that forms a colored complex with urea. The intensity of the color at 520 nm is directly proportional to the concentration of urea in the sample. Urea assay kits can be used to assess kidney function.
