Bilirubin Assay Kits

Bilirubin assay kits include essential reagents to measure the abundance or concentration of bilirubin in biological samples. Bilirubin is a byproduct of the breakdown of red blood cells and is used as a biomarker for liver function. An assay for bilirubin generally involves the addition of diazotized sulfanilic acid to react with bilirubin, forming azobilirubin. This formation can be measured spectrophotometrically to quantify the total bilirubin in the samples. Bilirubin assays are used in a variety of applications, including the assessment of liver dysfunction or bile duct obstruction, investigations of bilirubin-induced toxicity, and studies of neonatal jaundice. When choosing an assay kit, consider important specifications such as the assay detection range, recommended sample types, and the components included within the kit.
