Diazyme Laboratories, Inc. ADENOSINE DEAMINASE ASSAY
The Diazyme Adenosine Deaminase Assay (DZ117A-K) is an in vitro diagnostic reagent kit designed for the quantitative determination of adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in human serum, plasma, or other biological fluids. The assay utilizes a colorimetric method based on the enzymatic conversion of adenosine to inosine and ammonia, with the resulting change in absorbance measured spectrophotometrically. This test is intended for use on automated clinical chemistry analyzers and is commonly used as an aid in the diagnosis of diseases such as tuberculosis and other conditions associated with elevated ADA levels. The kit includes all necessary reagents and controls for performing the assay.
