Next Generation Beta-hydroxybutyrate Assay
for Reliable Ketosis Management

Product Features and Benefits

Prefilled Reagent Kits

Makes it easy to load directly onto Architect™ and Beckman AU® clinical chemistry systems.

Up to 12 Weeks Stability

Superior stability reduces the frequency of calibration and allows reagent to stay onboard longer.

 

 

 

Less Interference

Lipid Clearing System (LCS) that overcomes the burden of lipemia by eliminating turbidity in the sample before a measurement is performed.

The Best Indicator of DKA

The βHB/Acetoacetate ratio is typically between 3:1 and 7:1 in severe ketotic states.1
