MediLytic CRP Turbilatex 50 ml

CRP-Turbilatex is an in-vitro diagnostic reagent kit used to quantitatively measure levels of C‑reactive protein (CRP) in human serum or plasma. 

CRP is a protein produced by the liver; its concentration rises in the blood during inflammation, infection, tissue injury, or certain diseases — so CRP levels are used clinically as a marker of inflammation or infection.

The method is latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetry: The kit contains latex particles coated with antibodies against human CRP. When patient serum/plasma (containing CRP) is mixed with the reagent, CRP binds to the antibodies, causing the latex particles to agglutinate (clump). 

This agglutination increases turbidity (cloudiness), which can be measured as an absorbance change — the magnitude of this change correlates with the CRP concentration in the sample, which is determined by comparison to a calibrator of known CRP concentration.
