Ammonia

Product Description

The Biorex Diagnostics Ammonia (NH₃) Assay is a ready-to-use reagent system designed for the quantitative determination of ammonia in human plasma, providing essential insight into metabolic and hepatic function. Ammonia is a nitrogenous byproduct formed during protein and amino acid metabolism, primarily processed in the liver through the urea cycle. Accurate measurement of levels is critical for evaluating liver function, diagnosing urea cycle disorders, and assessing metabolic disturbances that may lead to toxic accumulation in the bloodstream.

Clinically, elevated ammonia concentrations are associated with hepatic dysfunction, including acute liver failure and chronic liver disease, where impaired detoxification leads to accumulation in circulation. Increased levels may also indicate inherited urea cycle disorders, renal impairment, or other metabolic conditions. High levels are particularly significant in neurological assessment, as they can contribute to hepatic encephalopathy and other neurotoxic effects. As such, ammonia testing is an important tool in both emergency and routine clinical settings.

The Biorex Ammonia Assay utilises a sensitive enzymatic colourimetric methodology to ensure accurate, precise, and reproducible results across clinically relevant ranges. Its robust analytical performance supports reliable detection of ammonia concentrations, enabling clinicians to make informed decisions regarding diagnosis and patient management. The assay is compatible with automated analysers as well as manual spectrophotometric systems, allowing flexible integration into a wide range of laboratory environments.
