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.

Substance Concentration range with no effect on assay value
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.
