Assay Principle
Potassium is determined spectrophotometrically through a kinetic coupling assay system using potassium dependent pyruvate kinase. 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.
Intended use
For in vitro quantitative determination of potassium in human serum. Measurements obtained by this assay are used to monitor electrolyte balance in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases conditions characterized by low or high blood potassium levels.
