Randox Laboratories's new enzymatic homocysteine is a liquid ready-to-use assay.
No sample pre-treatment is required and it is available for a wide range of applications for chemistry analysers, including Dimension, Hitachi, Beckman, Aeroset, Mira, etc.
The amino acid homocysteine is normally found in the blood.
Elevated homocysteine levels above 10umol/l, hyperhomocysteinaemia, are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Homocysteine levels are elevated by a number of conditions such as folic acid deficiency.
Hyperhomocysteinaemia implies that elevated homocysteine levels may have a genetic basis.
