FAQ: Creatinine Assay

Q: What species is this kit compatible with?

A: The creatinine structure is the same regardless of species; therefore our Urinary Creatinine Assay Kit is not species specific and can be used with urine samples from any species.

 

Q: Is this kit compatible with serum or plasma?

A: This kit is compatible with urine samples only. Unfortunately we do not offer a creatinine assay that is compatible with plasma or serum samples.

 

FAQ: Cholesterol Assays

Q: Are your Cholesterol Assay Kits specific for human samples?

A: Cholesterol is well conserved; therefore our Cholesterol Assay Kits can be used on any mammalian species.

 

Q: Can EDTA plasma samples be used?

A: Yes, plasma samples prepared with EDTA or any other anticoagulant are compatible with our Cholesterol Assays.

FAQ: Alcohol Assays

Q: Can this kit be used to detect alcohols other than ethanol?

A: The enzyme used in our Alcohol Assay Kits is not ethanol specific and can be used to detect other alcohols.  To use this kit with alcohol samples other than ethanol, the ethanol standard curve should be replaced with your own alcohol standard curve. The enzyme reaction rate may be different with other alcohols so the standard curve concentrations may need to be adjusted.
