Serum Copper Content Assay kit

Copper is one of the essential trace elements of human body, is an important component ofmany enzymes, it can combine with proteins to form cupric protein, has the function of protectingcells; Most of the copper in plasma binds to globulins to form ceruloplasmin, whichplaysanimportant role in the production of red blood cells. Therefore, the determination of serumcoppercan tell whether the body is deficient in copper. Under acidic conditions, Cu2+is dissociated from ceruloplasmin and albumin andreactswithcomplexing agent 3, 5-dibromo-PAESA to produce a purple complex, which has a characteristicabsorption peak at 580nm, and the absorbance is proportional to the concentration withinacertainrange, thus calculating the Cu2+ concentration.
