Principle of the method¡G
The Formosa Biomedical Technology Total Homocysteine
Biochemical Assay is an enzymatic method which measures
total homocysteine in plasma.
Bound HCY is reduced to free HCY which then catalyzed
by recombinant methionine a,g-lyase (HCY enzyme) to
produce H2S. The H2S subsequently reacts with a chromophore,
and the product is measured optically at 660nm. The
optical density is proportional to the tHCY level.
