CRP is an acute phase protein that plays an important role in the body's inflammatory response

The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Assay Kit employs the Latex Enhanced Immunoturbidimetric Method to quantitatively detect CRP levels in human serum in vitro. CRP is an acute phase protein that plays a significant role in the body's inflammatory response. Although the specific pathological roles of CRP are still under investigation, its behavior during acute and chronic infections, as well as tissue damage, underscores its clinical relevance.

In response to various pathological conditions, CRP levels in the serum can rise dramatically within hours, making it a sensitive biomarker for inflammation. This rapid elevation is followed by a swift return to baseline levels as the underlying condition resolves, which makes CRP a reliable indicator for monitoring disease progression and recovery. Compared to other acute-phase proteins, CRP is distinguished by its high concentration and significant fluctuations during disease onset, providing clinicians with essential insights into the acute phase response.

The CRP Assay Kit utilizes a latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetric method, a highly sensitive and specific technique designed for the accurate measurement of CRP in serum samples. This method involves the interaction of serum CRP with specific antibodies coated on latex particles, leading to the formation of an immune complex. As the concentration of CRP increases, the resulting aggregates cause a turbidity in the solution, which is quantitatively measured using a turbidimeter. The extent of this turbidity is directly proportional to the concentration of CRP present in the serum.

This assay kit is user-friendly and designed for use in various laboratory settings, making it suitable for both clinical diagnostics and research applications. It provides reliable results within a short turnaround time, allowing healthcare professionals to make informed decisions regarding patient management. The kit is compatible with standard laboratory equipment and comes with all necessary reagents, ensuring ease of use and reproducibility in results.
