All the components are stable until the stated expiration date If stored tightly closed, refrigerated and protected from light. *Preparation and Stability of Working solution Reagents liquid and ready to use CK NAC Kinetic UV Method Principle Kinetic determination of CK according IFCC and DGKC recommendation: CK Creatin phosphate + ADP Creatine + ATP HK ATP + D - Glucose D - Glucose-6-phosphate + ADP G-6-PDH D-Glucose - 6 - phosphate + NADP + D-Gluconate - 6 - phosphate + NADPH + + H + The Rate of NADPH formation, determined photometrically at 340 nm, is direct proportional to CK activity. Note: The activation of all CK fractions is due to the N - Acetil - L - Cisteine (NAC) as recommended by IFCC and DGKC *Reagents composition, Contents and Safety warnings 1.

Cuvette light path: 1 cm 3. Temperature 25/30/37oC. 4. Adjust the instrument to zero against distilled water One Reagent Procedure Sample 50 µl Working Solution 1 ml Two Reagents Procedure Buffer 0.8 ml Sample 50µl Substrate 200 µl Mix, wait 2 minutes, read the Absorbance and start the stopwatch simultaneously. Read again after 1, 2 and 3 minutes. Calculate the average absorbance difference per minute (A/min) *Calculation E. ACCURACY Comparation between this method (y) and another commercial one (x) gave the following results: N = 20 r = 0.9999177 y = 1.01x - 6.73 F. INTERFERENCES 1.
