Beta-Hydroxybutyrate LiquiColor® reagent validated for use on the QuidelOrtho Vitros® 4600 Chemistry System, Vitros® 5600 Integrated System and Vitros® XT 7600 Integrated System.
Vitros® XT 7600 Integrated System
Beta-Hydroxybutyrate / B-HB
The Stanbio Chemistry LiquiColor® Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) reagent is used to detect ketones and identify patients with diabetic ketoacidosis, among many other clinical applications.
Beta-Hydroxybutyrate is the most abundant ketone present during DKA and tends to correlate with a patient’s clinical status. Since the BHB assay is quantitative, it can be used for monitoring ketosis to resolution, making it the superior ketone test.
Our Beta-Hydroxybutyrate reagent is used by over 1,500 hospitals worldwide and can be run on most open channel chemistry analyzers.
