Description

Product Overview

The Vitamin B12 Test Kit is a competitive fluorescence immunoassay designed for quantitative determination of Vitamin B12 levels. Vitamin B12 plays an essential role in red blood cell formation, neurological function and DNA synthesis. Measurement of Vitamin B12 helps clinicians diagnose deficiency-related disorders and monitor nutritional status.

Intended Use

For in vitro quantitative determination of Vitamin B12 in serum as an aid in diagnosis of Vitamin B12 deficiency related diseases.

Clinical Significance

Supports diagnosis of megaloblastic anemia, neuropathy, nutritional deficiency assessment and monitoring of supplementation therapy.

Test Principle

Competitive fluorescence immunoassay where Vitamin B12 in the sample competes with fluorescence-labelled intrinsic factor binding sites and signal intensity is inversely proportional to Vitamin B12 concentration.
