Detects amount of total protein in blood.Coral Clinical Systems has answered these concerns of the busy laboratory professional by engineering the “Flexipour”reagent system which comprises of individual liquid stable components, which when mixed together in recommended ratios generate a dependable liquid stable working reagent. Depending on the usage, individual reagents may be poured at one go or flexibly in smaller volumes. Proteins are constituents of muscle, enzymes, hormones and several other key functional and structural entities in the body. They are involved in the maintenance of the normal distribution of water between blood and the tissues. Consisiting mainly of albumin and globulin the fractions vary independently and widely in diseases.Increased levels are found mainly in dehydration. Decreased levels are found mainly in malnutrition, impared synthesis, protein losses as in hemorrhage or excessive protein catabolism Proteins, in an alkaline medium, bind with the cupric ions present in the biuret reagent to form a blue-violet coloured complex. The intensity of the colour formed is directly proportional to the amount of Proteins present in the sample
