Product
ABX PENTRA Uric Acid CP ref. A11A01670 is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of uric acid in human serum, plasma and urine based on the enzymatic determination of uric acid using a chromogenic system in the presence of peroxidase and uricase (Trinder method).
Reason for recall
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) present in the blood of patients treated for paracetamol overdose can interfere with the Trinder reaction that uses hydrogen peroxide catalytic on aminoantipyrine and phenol, and can produce falsely low results with the reagents using the Trinder reaction method.
