Erba Uric Acid Biochemistry Reagent Kit (Uricase Method — Liquid Stable)

Gout has been called the disease of kings and the king of diseases. Both descriptions are accurate in their own way. For centuries it was associated with rich food and rich men — a reputation it earned honestly enough, given that uric acid accumulates when purines are metabolised and purines are plentiful in meat, shellfish, and alcohol. What has changed in recent decades is the clinical picture. Gout is no longer a condition of banquets. It is a condition of the modern metabolic environment — increasingly common, increasingly linked to hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular risk, and increasingly in front of general practitioners, nephrologists, and rheumatologists who need a reliable, consistent uric acid result to make treatment decisions. The Erba Mannheim Uric Acid Biochemistry Reagent Kit is a single-reagent, liquid stable enzymatic assay for the quantitative in vitro determination of uric acid in human serum, plasma, and urine. Erba Diagnostics Mannheim is a German in vitro diagnostics brand with a significant installed base across European and emerging market clinical laboratories, particularly through the Erba Chem semi-automated analyser range that dominates mid-tier hospital laboratory settings across Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. The chemistry is the Uricase-Trinder / PAP endpoint method. Uricase converts uric acid to allantoin and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide then reacts with 4-aminoantipyrine and DHBS in the presence of peroxidase, producing a red quinoneimine dye. Absorbance of the coloured product is measured at 510nm and is directly proportional to the uric acid concentration. The reaction is complete, specific, and well-characterised — the same chemistry used by most major clinical chemistry platforms globally for serum uric acid quantification. Both pack sizes — 2x50ml (FBCEM0068) and 4x50ml (FBCEM0069) — arrive as a single ready-to-use liquid reagent with no mixing or reconstitution required. On-board stability is a minimum of 30 days at 2–10°C once loaded on the analyser, which is commercially relevant for high-throughput automated analysers running continuous workflows. Linearity extends to 25 mg/dL, covering both normal and severely elevated values including those seen in acute gout flares and tophaceous gout. Known interferents — haemoglobin up to 10 g/L, bilirubin up to 40 mg/dL, and triglycerides up to 2000 mg/dL — do not affect the assay at these concentrations. For laboratory reagent importers and clinical chemistry distributors supplying markets where Erba Chem analysers are widely installed, the Erba reagent line is the natural sourcing choice. Running the instrument's own brand reagents on the Erba Chem platform avoids the compatibility validation burden and is often the procurement default for hospital lab managers who have standardised on this analyser. Sara Wellness exports Erba Mannheim reagents and other Indian-origin and imported clinical chemistry products to wholesale buyers across Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. We know cold-chain packaging, we know what export documentation your regulatory authority requires, and we have been doing this long enough that the process runs without surprises.
