Lithium (Enzymatic) Assay
 
 
Diazyme Laboratories
The Diazyme enzymatic Lithium assay is based on a lithium sensitive enzyme whose activity is lithium concentration dependent. The enzyme, a phosphatase, converts its substrate adenosine biphosphate (PAP) to hypoxanthine through a coupled enzymatic reactions to generate uric acid and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). H2O2 generated is then quantified by a Trinder reaction.
