Product Description
The Biorex Diagnostics CO2 (Bicarbonate) Assay is a ready-to-use reagent system for the quantitative determination of total carbon dioxide (CO₂) in human serum, providing essential insight into acid–base balance and metabolic function. Total CO₂, primarily present as bicarbonate in blood, plays a key role in maintaining physiological pH and is closely regulated by respiratory and renal systems. Measurement of CO₂ levels is widely used in the evaluation of acid–base disorders, including metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, respiratory acidosis, and respiratory alkalosis. Abnormal values may also indicate renal dysfunction, electrolyte imbalances, or underlying metabolic disturbances, making this assay an important component of routine clinical chemistry testing.
Key Features
- Quantitative measurement of total CO2 (bicarbonate) in serum
- Clinically relevant for assessing acid–base balance, respiratory acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, renal dysfunction, and electrolyte disturbances
- Enzymatic or colourimetric method ensures accuracy, sensitivity, and reproducibility
- Ready-to-use reagents simplify laboratory workflow and minimise preparation errors
- Compatible with automated analysers, manual assays, and routine laboratory protocols
Benefits
The Biorex CO₂ Assay delivers precise, reliable, and reproducible results, supporting diagnosis, monitoring, and research applications in acid–base and metabolic disorders. Its analytical methodology enables accurate assessment of bicarbonate levels, assisting clinicians in identifying disturbances in pH balance and evaluating patient response to treatment. By providing consistent and dependable measurements, the assay supports effective clinical decision-making and patient management.
This assay is particularly valuable in hospital laboratories, emergency departments, intensive care units, and clinical chemistry settings where rapid evaluation of acid–base status is required. Its ready-to-use format streamlines workflow, reduces pre-analytical variability, and ensures consistent performance across different laboratory environments. Compatibility with automated analysers allows seamless integration into routine testing platforms, supporting efficient, high-throughput analysis while maintaining accuracy and reliability.
In addition to clinical diagnostics, the Biorex CO2 (Bicarbonate) Assay supports research into respiratory physiology, renal function, and metabolic regulation, making it an essential tool for advancing understanding of acid–base homeostasis and improving patient outcomes.
