purpose of the examination

The examination in serum and plasma is used mainly for diagnosis and management of renal disorders. Urine creatinine is frequently used as surrogate indicator to urine output

principle and method of the procedure used for examinations

Creatinine reacts with alkaline picrate to form red colored complex. After an incubation period, increase in absorbance between two time points is measured at 490-540 nm (psudo-first order kinetics).The incubation period and time points for measurement of absorbance are chosen to decrease interference from other compounds reacting with alkaline picrate with different kinetics.

performance characteristics

Between Batch Precision(IQC) = <10[%cv]
EQA Peer Precision = <10[%cv]
Measuring_Interval = 0-40[mg/dl]
Trueness_of_Measurement = >40[TS]
Analytical_Sensitivity = 0.0315[A/mg/dl]
