General description

Oxalate, or Oxalic Acid, is a metabolic breakdown product of the Kreb′s Cycle in eukaryotes and the glyoxylate cycle in other microorganisms.Typically present in the urine of humans and other mammals, oxalate concentration can be used as a measure of kidney function. A high level of oxalate is an indicator for kidney stones, which are primarily made of the insoluble salt calcium oxalate. Measuring oxalate is more accurate than measuring calcium as a marker for kidney stones because calcium is excreted at high concentrations even in normal urine.

Application

The Oxalate Quick Test Strips are designed for determining oxalate levels in the following applications:
  • Food and Beverage Testing
  • Biological samples such as plasma, serum, and urine.

Features and Benefits

  • Rapid and Sensitive: Provides swift results with only 10 μL of sample for semi-quantitative measurement within a range of 0-1.5 mg/dL or 0-170 μM (undiluted) Oxalate, ensuring quick and accurate analysis.
  • Efficient: Sample treatment and assay completion take less than 10 minutes, saving time and enhancing productivity.
  • User-Friendly: Convenient test strip design eliminates the need for a plate or cuvette reader, simplifying the testing process and making it accessible for users of all skill levels.

Suitability

Suitable for the detection of oxalate concentrations in serum, plasma, urine, fruits or vegetables, etc.

Principle

Oxalate Quick Test Strips are based on the enzymatic oxidation of oxalate coupled with a color reaction in one step. The intensity of the product color is directly proportional to the oxalate concentration in the sample.
