Creatinine Assay Kits

Creatinine assay kits are available from a number of suppliers to measure levels of creatinine in a biological sample. Creatinine is a breakdown product of creatine phosphate and is produced in the kidney, liver, and pancreas. Abnormal levels of creatinine in the blood or urine can indicate physiological conditions, such as kidney damage. Creatinine assays can thus be used in studying metabolic functions. Some colorimetric creatinine assay kits use the Jaffe reaction, where creatinine reacts with picric acid to produce an orange color measurable at 50 nm. Other assays are mediated by creatininase and a reactive probe to generate color and fluorescence.
