General description

UV-test for the determination of 2,3-DPG in blood research samples.

Note: In addition, perchloric acid as auxiliary reagent is required.

Application

The test is used for the determination of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate in blood in the range of 0.02 to 0.15 μmol in life science research applications.
2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) kit has been used to determine the levels of 2,3 DPG and ATP in fresh and stored human red blood cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) in red blood cells (RBC) determines the ease with which hemoglobin releases oxygen in the tissues. The higher the level of erythrocytic 2,3DPG, the lower is the affinity to oxygen and vice versa. pH levels during acid-base disorder influence oxygen affinity by affecting both 2,3-DPG metabolism and oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve. Intracellular 2,3DPG concentrations are influenced by phosphate levels, and low erythrocyte levels of 2,3DPG are linked with hypophosphatemia.

Packaging

1 kit containing 5 components.

Preparation Note

Stabilizers: EDTA contained in the buffer solution of bottle 1 of the 2,3-Diphosphoglycerate Test Kit stabilizes enzymes when dissolved in this buffer.
Note: In addition, perchloric acid as auxiliary reagent is required.

Other Notes

For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
