Significance of Lithium Determination

Lithium is associated with the release and suppression of serotonin, dopamine, and adrenaline in neurons, and is known to increase white blood cells, decrease blood pressure, and affect reproduction.
In the field of pharmacotherapy, lithium carbonate is frequently used as a lithium donor as a first-line or second-line drug in the treatment of bipolar disorder. However, excessive doses of lithium have been associated with kidney damage and other serious side effects, and medication management is important.
Recently, the effects of lithium on diseases related to oxidative stress in addition to mood stabilization have been reported one after another, and research on the effects of lithium on other diseases is being reconsidered.

Assay Principle

It observes the color development of the visible part due to chelate complex formation of polyhalogen-substituted porphyrins and lithium ions, and determines the lithium concentration. It is the world's first stable liquid color development kit for microplate readers.

Features

  • Polyfluoroporphyrin reacts with Li in serum and develops a vivid color. In addition, even after 30 minutes of color development, the absorbance of both high and low concentration lithium samples remains constant, resulting in excellent stability.
  • Using conventional microplate reader for the assay. No gas barrier equipment is required.
  • 1-point calibration
  • Applicable sample type : Serum, plasma (Heparin Lithium sample cannot be used.)
  • Assay range : 0.03 - 3.0 mM
  • Assay time : 10 minutes
