Product Description
The Biorex Diagnostics Pre-Albumin Assay is a ready-to-use quantitative test designed for the accurate measurement of Prealbumin in human serum and plasma. Also known as transthyretin, this protein plays a key role in the transport of thyroxine and retinol-binding protein, and serves as a highly sensitive indicator of nutritional status and protein synthesis. Due to its short half-life, Prealbumin responds rapidly to changes in nutritional intake and hepatic function, making it a valuable biomarker for early detection of metabolic imbalance and monitoring of patient recovery.
Accurate measurement is essential in clinical settings where timely assessment of nutritional status can influence treatment decisions, particularly in critically ill patients, those undergoing surgery, or individuals with chronic conditions. Reduced levels may indicate malnutrition, liver dysfunction, inflammation, or increased metabolic demand, while monitoring changes over time helps evaluate the effectiveness of nutritional support and therapeutic interventions.
Key Features
- Quantitative determination of Prealbumin in serum and plasma
- Clinically relevant for assessing malnutrition, liver function, and metabolic status
- Short half-life enables early detection of nutritional and hepatic changes
- Ready-to-use reagents simplify laboratory workflow and minimise preparation errors
- Compatible with automated analysers and routine clinical laboratory protocols
Benefits
The Biorex Prealbumin Assay delivers precise, reproducible, and clinically meaningful results, supporting early identification of nutritional deficiencies and metabolic disturbances. Its sensitivity allows clinicians to detect subtle changes before they are reflected in longer-term markers, enabling timely intervention and improved patient outcomes.
The assay’s reliability and ease of use make it suitable for a wide range of healthcare environments, including hospital laboratories, intensive care units, and specialised nutrition support teams. Its compatibility with automated systems ensures consistent performance in high-throughput settings, while also supporting manual testing where required.
In addition to routine diagnostics, this assay is valuable in research applications focused on metabolism, inflammation, and clinical nutrition. It enables accurate monitoring of protein status in studies evaluating dietary interventions, disease progression, and therapeutic outcomes.
Overall, the Biorex Diagnostics Prealbumin Assay combines analytical accuracy, clinical relevance, and operational efficiency. By providing dependable measurement of Prealbumin levels, it supports informed clinical decision-making, enhances patient monitoring, and contributes to improved management of nutritional and metabolic health in both clinical and research settings.
