The Astoria-Pacific SPOTCHECK G6PD 50 Hour Reagent Kit is intended for the semi-quantitative determination of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in erythrocytes using the Astoria-Pacific SPOTCHECK Analyzer. Measurements of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity are used primarily in the diagnosis and treatment of nonspherocytic congenital hemolytic anemia or drug-induced hemolytic anemia associated with a G6PD deficiency. It is for in vitro diagnostic use primarily as an aid in screening for decreased levels of G6PD enzyme activity. This device is for use by trained, qualified laboratory personnel.

The Astoria-Pacific SPOTCHECK G6PD 50 Hour Reagent Kit is a reagent kit used for the semi-quantitative determination of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in erythrocytes. The method is based on the spectrophotometric method where enzyme activity is measured by observing NADP+ reduction to NADPH when glucose-6-phosphate is present as a substrate. Maleimide is added to inhibit the production of NADPH by 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. The fluorescent NADPH produced is proportional to the G6PD enzyme activity. The kit contains Extraction Buffer, Tris Buffer, G6PD Substrate, and NADH Stock Std reagents.
