PAH (p-Aminohippuric Acid) Assay Kit sufficient for 100 colorimetric tests

General description

p-Aminohippuric acid (PAH), a derivative of hippuric acid, is used in the measurement of renal plasma flow (RPF). Renal plasma flow measures the volume of plasma, which enters the kidney in a given period of time. To determine effective renal plasma flow, PAH is measured in a plasma sample (PPAH) and a urine sample (UPAH). The volume of urine flow (V) is also required.[1][2]

Suitability

Suitable for measuring PAH (p-Aminohippuric Acid) in plasma and urine samples

Principle

The PAH (p-Aminohippuric Acid) Assay kit can be used for measuring PAH in a plasma and urine samples. PAH reacts with 4-(dimethylamino)cinnamaldehyde (DACA) to generate a compound, which can be detected spectrophotometrically at 550 nm.
