Blood Urea Nitrogen Enzymatic Kit is a microplate-based colorimetric
assay for the determination of urea in serum samples produced from blood. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is an important marker for normal kidney and liver function. Elevation of BUN levels is often an indication of intestinal and kidney obstruction and cardiac failure. Decreased BUN levels are often associated with kidney and liver damage. BUN is also a very useful tool
for preclinical investigation of experimental drug formulations and BUN levels are commonly used to monitor and attenuate the toxic effects of experimental drug formulations in rodents.
Blood Urea Nitrogen Enzymatic Kit uses an enzyme-based assay to determine urea in liquid samples such as serum. The test is based on a highly proven method for urea determination. The Blood Urea Nitrogen Enzymatic Kit contains sufficient materials to test 42 samples in duplicate. The assay utilizes urease, a metabolic enzyme, to specifically detect urea in serum. The Blood Urea Nitrogen Enzymatic Kit provides rapid, accurate, proven results even in complex liquid mixtures. The limit of detection for the test is 8 ppm urea for serum. The linear range of the assay is 8 – 200 ppm analyte.

Attogene’s Mercury Lateral Flow Kit can be used for the screening of Mercury in water and food (fish) samples at 10 ppb in a laboratory setting. Unlike the field-based kit, the lab kit is intended for a more technical end user who will be evaluating samples in a laboratory setting. The instructions include method for extraction from food samples.
Mercury contamination is a serious worldwide environmental problem. As it is difficult to detoxify by chemical or biological methods, gradual Mercury ion accumulation in the nervous and cardiovascular systems of the human body can subsequently cause serious diseases. Long-term health consequences of drinking Mercury-contaminated food and water include brain, heart, kidney, lungs and immune system problems for adults, and the physical and mental development delays in infants and children. Attogene’s Mercury Lateral Flow test gives results conforming of 10ppb or greater. Using the supplied pipette, simply fill the vial with your water sample, place the water into the sample port and wait 5 minutes.
Applications for Fish and Shellfish possible:
Mercury Levels in Commercial Fish and Shellfish (1990-2012)
Fish with recognized high concentrations of Mercury:
• Tuna, Grouper, Mackerel, Weakfish, Bluefish, Sablefish, Halibut, Bass Chilean, Shark, Marlin, Tilefish,
Screening of Mercury in water samples at 10 ppb
Format: 10 tests (5 tests/5 controls)
Run Time: 5 Minutes
The kit provides rapid, simple, and reliable components for the labeling proteins with biotin for use in lateral flow procedures. Kit enables the biotinylation of antibody or proteins to be used with the Universal Lateral Flow Kits (AU2034, AU2037 or AUAU2044 in addition to Streptavidin Colloidal (AU2017) gold or Streptavidin CdZnS Quantum Dots (AU2043).
Attogene’s Protein Biotinylation kit provides the user with reagents for labeling proteins
Desalting columns for purifying the labeled molecule
Convenient and easy to interpret instructions on how to carry out the labeling process.
