The ARK™ Oxcarbazepine Metabolite Assay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay intended for the quantitative determination of Oxcarbazepine Metabolite in human serum on automated clinical chemistry analyzers. The measurements obtained are used in monitoring levels of Oxcarbazepine Metabolite to help ensure appropriate therapy. The ARK™ Oxcarbazepine Metabolite Calibrator is intended for use in calibration of the ARK Oxcarbazepine Metabolite Assay. The ARK™ Oxcarbazepine Metabolite Control is an assayed quality control material intended for use in quality control of the ARK Oxcarcarbazepine Metabolite Assay. For prescription use only. Caution: Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a licensed practitioner.

The ARK Oxcarbazepine Metabolite Assay is a homogeneous immunoassay based on competition between drug in the specimen and Oxcarbazepine Metabolite labeled with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) for binding to the antibody reagent. As the latter binds antibody, enzyme activity decreases. In the presence of drug from the specimen, enzyme activity increases and is directly proportional to the drug concentration. Active enzyme converts the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to NADH that is measured spectrophotometrically as a rate of change in absorbance. Endogenous serum G6PDH does not interfere with the results because the coenyzme NAD functions only with the bacterial enzyme used in the assay. The ARK Oxcarbazepine Metabolite Assay consists of reagents R1 anti-Oxcarbazepine Metabolite polyclonal antibody with substrate and R2 Oxcarbazepine Metabolite labeled with bacterial G6PDH enzyme. The ARK Oxcarbazepine Metabolite Calibrator consists of a six-level set to calibrate the assay, and the ARK Oxcarbazepine Metabolite Control consists of a three-level set used for quality control of the assay.
