This document provides instructions for using a photometric colorimetric test to measure albumin concentration in serum or plasma using the bromocresol green method. The test involves adding a reagent containing bromocresol green to samples or a standard, which forms a colored complex with albumin. The absorbance is measured and used to calculate the albumin concentration. Sample results must be converted using a provided formula to match concentrations previously known for human samples. The test is linear up to 6.5 g/dL albumin and may be affected by interfering substances like bilirubin or hemoglobin.

To convert the obtained results into the previously known concentrations
Photometric Colorimetric Test for Albumin of HUMAN apply the formula below: BCG-Method Concentration (CRM 470) x 1.218 = Concentration (Human)

[REF] 10560 1 x 1000 ml Complete test kit Linearity 156004 4 x 100 ml Complete test kit The test is linear up to an albumin concentration of 6,5 g/dl or 65 g/l. [IVD] Dilute samples with a higher concentration 1 + 1 with physiological saline (0.9%). Multiply the result by 2. Method 1, 2 Typical performance data can be found in the Verification Report, Bromocresol green forms with albumin in citrate buffer a coloured accessible via: complex. The absorbance of this complex is proportional to the albumin www.human.de/data/gb/vr/su-albu.pdf or concentration in the sample. www.human-de.com/data/gb/vr/su-albu.pdf Contents [RGT] 4 x 100 or 1 x 1000 ml Colour reagent Normal Range in Serum or Plasma Citrate buffer (pH 4.2) 30 mmol/l 3.8 - 5.1 g/dl or 38 - 51 g/l Bromocresol green 260 μmol/l Quality Control [STD] 1 x 3 ml Standard All control sera with albumin values determined by this method may be Albumin 4 g/dl or 40 g/l employed.

DA470k/IFCC. Automation Reagent Preparation Proposals to apply the reagents on analysers are available on request. [RGT] and [STD] are ready for use. Each laboratory has to validate the application in its own responsibility. Reagent Stability Notes [RGT] and [STD] are stable up to the given expiry date when stored at 1. The test is not influenced by bilirubin values up to 20 mg/dl. Each 2...25°C. 100 mg/dl hemoglobin will represent an albumin increase of 0.1 g/dl, Contamination after opening must be avoided. so cross hemolysis should be avoided. 2. Cross hemolysis and marked lipemia will interfere. A sample blank Specimen must be determined by pipetting 10 μl sample to 1000 μl physiological Serum, heparinised or EDTA-plasma saline and measured against dist. water. The absorbance of the sample Stability in serum: at 2...8°C up to 1 month blank has to be subtracted from the absorbance of the sample. at 15...25°C up to 1 week 3.
