Colorimetric Method
INTENDED USE :
This reagent kit is intended for the “In Vitro” quantitative
determination of Sodium in Serum.
PRINCIPLE: LINEARITY :
The method is based on reaction of sodium with a selective This procedure is linear upto 180 mEq/L. If values exceed
Chromogen producing a chromophore whose absorbance is this limit dilute the sample with distilled water and multiply
directly proportional to sodium concentration in the sample results with proper dilution factor.
CONTENTS : NOTE :
Reagent 1 : Sodium Reagent As Sodium is a very widely distributed ion, care should be
Reagent 2 : Sodium Standard 150 mEq/L taken to avoid any contamination. All glasswares being
used for the test should first be rinsed with 1% or 0.1 N
SAMPLE COLLECTION AND PRESERVATION : HNO3 and then with good quality deionised water before
Serum or heparinized plasma. use.
Sodium is stable for 2 weeks at 2 - 8°C .
