Contract Lyophilization Services
Contract lyophilization services refer to outsourcing the lyophilization process to specialized facilities or companies that offer expertise and equipment for freeze-drying various substances, such as proteins, biologics, diagnostics, and other products. Contract lyophilization services offer a convenient and efficient solution for companies and organizations seeking to lyophilize their products without the need for significant investment […]
Calibrators and Controls
Calibrators and controls are essential components of quality assurance processes in laboratory testing, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of analytical measurements. Calibrators are standardized materials with known concentrations of analytes, used to establish a calibration curve or reference points on an instrument’s measurement scale. They serve as a reference against which the measurements of unknown […]
BUN reagents
BUN reagents are biochemical substances used in the measurement of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels, a common clinical test that assesses kidney function and hydration status. Blood urea nitrogen is a waste product generated from the breakdown of proteins in the liver. It is filtered by the kidneys and excreted from the body through urine. […]
Bromide Assays
Bromide assays are analytical techniques used to quantify the concentration of bromide ions in a solution. Bromide ions (Br⁻) are the anionic form of the element bromine and are commonly found in various environmental and biological samples, including water, soil, and biological fluids. Monitoring bromide levels is important for assessing water quality, evaluating the effectiveness […]
Biuret Assays
Biuret assays are biochemical tests utilized to measure protein concentration in biological samples. This method relies on the formation of a blue-colored complex, known as the biuret complex, when proteins react with copper(II) ions in an alkaline solution. The intensity of the blue color is directly proportional to the protein concentration in the sample, allowing […]
Bile Acids Assays
Bile acids assays are laboratory tests designed to measure the concentration of bile acids in biological samples, typically blood or serum. Bile acids are important components of bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. These assays are utilized for various clinical and research purposes. Enzymatic assays utilize enzymatic reactions […]
Beta-hydroxybutyrate
Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), also known as β-hydroxybutyrate, is one of the three ketone bodies produced by the liver during periods of low glucose availability, such as fasting, prolonged exercise, or adherence to a ketogenic diet. Ketone bodies serve as alternative energy sources when glucose levels are insufficient to meet the body’s energy demands. Elevated levels of […]
BCG Reagents
BCG reagents typically refer to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) reagents, which are biological products derived from attenuated strains of Mycobacterium bovis, a bacterium closely related to the one causing tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis). BCG reagents play a significant role in tuberculosis control programs, medical research, and clinical practice, contributing to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of tuberculosis […]
Basics Of Lyopholized Reagents
Lyophilized reagents, also commonly referred to as freeze-dried reagents, are useful in research, diagnostics, and biotech development. The process of lyophilization, which these reagents undergo, involves freezing the substance and then subjecting it to reduced pressure to remove water via sublimation. This preservation technique ensures the longevity of the reagents and maintains their structural and […]
