Lucica MI for the Measurement of MI

3.Reagent Features and Performance
(1) Reagent features
Lucica MI is an in vitro diagnostic test kit for the measurement of UMI before and after glucose loading.
Measurement of UMI requires a urine sample, but no blood sample is needed. This test may thus be suitable for mass screening for both diabetes and glucose intolerance.
Lucica MI is a highly sensitive test kit based on an enzymatic method that uses liquid reagents requiring no preparation.
Lucica MI can be used in general-purpose biochemical autoanalyzers.

(2) Assay Principle?Enzymatic cycling method
Myoinosose is formed from MI by reaction with myoinositol dehydrogenase (MIDH). At the same time, thio-NADH is formed from the coenzyme thio-NAD. Through the same reaction with MIDH, using NADH as a coenzyme, MI is formed from myoinosose. This is used again in the prior reaction (enzyme cycling). The rate of increase in thio-NADH, dependent on MI concentration, is measured by absorbance changes at a wavelength of 405 nm. This quantifies the concentration of MI.

Ascorbic acid 500mg/dL
Oxalic acid 500mg/dL
Tartalic acid 500mg/dL
Sodium tricitrate 500mg/dL
Ammonium chloride 500mg/dL
Creatinine 500mg/dL
Urea 500mg/dL
Galactose 50mg/dL
Uric acid 50mg/dL
Glucose 2g/dL
Hemolyzed hemoglobin 96.8mg/dL
Glucose at concentrations > 2g/dL can cause false-negative errors. Creatinine at concentrations exceeding 500mg/dL can cause false-positive errors.
