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 […]
AST Reagents
AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) reagents are substances used in laboratory tests to measure the levels of AST in a sample, typically blood. AST is an enzyme found in various tissues, particularly in the heart, liver, skeletal muscle, kidneys, brain, and red blood cells. AST reagents usually consist of solutions or kits containing the necessary chemicals and […]
Amylase reagents
Amylase reagents are substances or solutions used in laboratory settings to detect the presence and activity of the enzyme amylase. Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into simpler sugars like maltose and glucose. It’s found in various organisms, including humans, where it plays a significant role in the digestion of carbohydrates. […]
Arsenazo-III Assays
The Arsenazo III assay is a chemical method used for the quantitative determination of calcium in biological samples, such as blood serum or urine. Arsenazo III is a dye compound that forms a complex with calcium ions, leading to a color change that can be measured spectrophotometrically. In this assay, a sample containing calcium ions […]
Albumin reagents
Albumin reagents are substances or solutions used in laboratory assays to detect, quantify, or analyze the presence of albumin in biological samples. Albumin reagents typically consist of chemicals or antibodies specifically designed to interact with albumin molecules, allowing for its detection or measurement. These reagents can be part of various assay methods such as colorimetric, […]
GGT
GGT stands for Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase, which is an enzyme found in various tissues throughout the body, with particularly high levels in the liver, bile ducts, and kidneys. GGT plays a role in the metabolism of glutathione, a molecule involved in antioxidant defense and detoxification processes within cells. GGT catalyzes the transfer of gamma-glutamyl groups from […]
