Intended use
For the quantitative in vitro determination of Copper in serum and plasma. This product is suitable for manual use and on the Rx Monza.
Clinical Significance
Copper is an essential trace element in human nutrition and a component of many metalloenzymes. Copper is important to the function of caeruloplasmin and for the synthesis of melanin and collagen. Copper deficiency is characterized by growth failure and hypochromic- microcytic anaemia; acute copper toxicity can cause gastroenteritis and acute renal failure.
Principle
At pH 4.7 copper, which is bound to Caeruloplasmin, is released by a reducing agent. It then reacts with a specific colour reagent, 3.5-Di-Br-PAESA 4-(3, 5-Dibromo-2-pyridylazo)-N-Ethyl-N-(3-sulphopropyl) aniline, to form a stable, coloured chelate. The intensity of the colour is directly proportional to the amount of copper in the sample.
