Diazyme - Cystatin C Assay

Product Features Diazyme’s Cystatin C assay is a convenient cost effective dual liquid stable PEIA method for this criticallyimportant emerging marker in the early detection and diagnosis of renal disease.  The assay is highly sensitive with a sensitivity of 0.5 mg/dL (eGFR 217 mL/min/1.73m2 ), and an extended linear range up to 8.0 mg/dL (eGFR 4 mL/min/1.73m2). The Diazyme method has an excellent correlation with existing commercially available products and is highly precise with intra and inter %CV <5.0%. Packaged for optimal operator convenience, reagent transfer can be eliminated for most chemistry systems with instrument specific packaging options including Roche Hitachi 917 series, Olympus AU (400/600/640/680), Beckman Synchron CX, LX and DXC and Dade Dimension and Expand.  Reagents are stable for 12 months when stored at 2°-8°C.

Assay Principle

Cystatin C in the sample binds to the specific anti-Cystatin C antibody, which is coated on latex particles, and causes agglutination. The degree of the turbidity caused by agglutination is measured optically and is proportional to the amount of Cystatin C in the sample.

 

Intended use

The assay is for the quantitative in vitro determination of Cystatin C in human serum or plasma. There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that Cystatin C can be used to detect kidney disease at earlier stages, which may help facilitate prevention efforts in the elderly and those with diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease.
