Randox has added a total antioxidant status (TAS) kit to its range of antioxidant products to offer a complete profile of patient antioxidant status.
Antioxidants help defend the body against free radicals - highly reactive molecules that have been implicated in the development of more than 100 diseases affecting all major organs in the body.
Many diseases have been associated with low antioxidant levels.
Antioxidant levels can aid identification of disease risk in conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.
Furthermore, information from antioxidant status can be used to optimise treatment regimes.
The TAS kit can also be employed for food and beverage analysis and to assess the antioxidant potential of drugs.
The Randox TAS kit provides rapid analysis and can be automated on most clinical chemistry analysers.
Calibrators and controls are available to enhance testing facilities.
Other antioxidant products available from Randox include albumin, bilirubin, ferritin, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxide, superoxide dismutase, total iron binding content, transferring and uric acid.
