Zinc

Zinc is an essential trace metal, which is second only to Iron. It is present in Zinc metalloenzymes e.g. carbonic anhydrase, alkaline phosphatase, R.N.A and D.N.A polymerases, thimidine kinase, carboxypeptidases and alcohol dehydrogenase. Zinc deficiency in humans can lead to skin lesians, irritability, loss of hair and growth retardation in children. Zinc insufficiency is associated with impaired immunological function

Biorex Diagnostics manufactures Zinc reagents designed for Hitachi 917, Olympus AU 600/400/2700 and CA 180/270/400 Furuno/Daytona system reagents.
