Creatine Kinase (CK)
Reagents
Reagent 1 (pH 6.7) (Buffer / Coenzyme) 2. Mix and incubate 60 seconds.
Imidazol 125 mmol/L 3. Read initial absorbance (A) of the sample, start the stopwatch
D-Glucose 25 mmol/L and read absorbance at 1 minute intervals thereafter for 3 minutes.
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine 25 mmol/L 4. Calculate the difference between absorbances and the average
Magnesium acetate 12.5 mmol/L absorbance differences per minute (A/min).
NADP 2.5 mmol/L
EDTA 2 mmol/L Calculation
Reagent 2 (Enzymes) A/min x 4127 = U/L CK
ADP 15.2 mmol/L
AMP 25 mmol/L Units: One international unit (IU) is the amount of enzyme that
P1,P5-di (adenosine-5'-) penta-phosphate 103 mmol/L transforms 1 mol of substrate per minute, in standard conditions.
Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PDH) 9 KU/L The concentration is expressed in units per liter of sample (U/L).
Creatine phosphate 250 mmol/L
Hexokinase (HK) 3 KU/L Expected values
Precautions and Warnings
Men 24 - 204 U/L
Do not ingest or inhalate. In case of contact with eyes or skin; rinse
immediately with plenty of soap and water. In case of severe injuries; Women 24 - 173 U/L
seek medical advice immediately.

Methods Comparison
A comparison between Spectrum Diagnostics CK reagent and a
commercial reagent of the same methodology was performed on 20
human sera. A correlation of 0.983 was obtained.
Sensitivity
When run as recommended, the minimum detection limit of the
assay is 1 U/L.
Linearity
The reaction is linear up to CK concentration of 2000 U/l; specimens
showing higher concentration should be diluted 1+2 using physiological
saline and repeat the assay (result×3).
Interferences:
No interferences were observed with haemoglobin until 5 g/L, bilirubin
20 mg/dL and triglycerides 7 mmol/L. Other drugs and substances
may interfere3,4.
