EnzyChromTM Creatine Kinase
Assay Kit (ECPK-100)
Colorimetric Determination of
Creatine Kinase Activity at 340 nm
DESCRIPTION
CREATINE KINASE
(CK), also known as creatine phosphokinase
(CPK), is an enzyme (EC 2.7.3.2) expressed
predominantly in skeletal muscle, smooth muscle
and the brain. The CK enzyme consists of two
subunits, which can be either B (brain type) or
M (muscle type), and hence three different
isoenzymes: CK-MM, CK-BB and CK-MB. CK catalyzes
the conversion of creatine to phosphocreatine,
consuming adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and
generating adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and the
reverse reaction. CK is often determined
routinely in emergency patients with chest pain
and acute renal failure. Elevation of CK is an
indication of damage to muscle and has been
associated with injury, rhabdomyolysis,
myocardial infarction, myositis, myocarditis,
malignant hyperthermia and neuroleptic malignant
syndrome, etc. Lower levels can be an indication
of alcoholic liver disease and rheumatoid
arthritis. Simple, direct and automation-ready
procedures for measuring CK activity are very
desirable. BioAssay Systems' QuantiChromTM
Creatine Kinase Assay Kit is based on enzyme
coupled reactions in which creatine phosphate
and ADP is converted to creatine and ATP by CK,
the generated ATP is used to phosphorylate
glucose by hexokinase to generate
glucose-6-phosphate, which is then oxidized by
NADP in the presence of glucose-6- phosphate
dehydrogenase.
The produced NADPH, measured at
340 nm, is proportionate to the CK activity in
the sample.
APPLICATIONS
Direct Assays: CK in serum,
plasma and other biological samples.
Pharmacology: effects of drugs
on CK activity.
KEY FEATURES
Sensitive and accurate .
Detection range: 5 to 300 U/L creatine kinase in
96-well plate assay.
Convenient .
The procedure involves adding a single working
reagent, and reading the optical density at 10
min and 40 min at room temperature or 37°C.
High-throughput .
Can be readily automated as a high-throughput
96- well plate assay for thousands of samples
per day.
KIT CONTENTS (100 tests
in 96-well plates)
Assay Buffer: 12 mL Substrate
Solution: 1.0 mL
Enzyme Mix: 120 μL Calibrator:
150 μ L
Storage conditions .
This kit is shipped on dry ice. Store all
reagents at -20°C. Shelf life of at least 6
months (see expiry dates on labels).
Precautions :
reagents are for research use only. Normal
precautions for laboratory reagents should be
exercised while using the reagents. Please refer
to Material Safety Data Sheet for detailed
information.
PROCEDURES
Sample Preparation .
Use non-hemolyzed samples. Samples should be
assayed within 4 hours of blood collection if
they remain at room temperature, or within 12
hours if stored at 4°C. Samples can be stored at
-80°C and should be thawed only once. If
turbidity is observed, centrifuge sample and use
clear supernatant for assay.
Reagent Reconstitution .
Bring all components to room temperature.
For each reaction well, mix 10
μL Substrate Solution, 100
μL
Assay Buffer and 1 μL
Enzyme Mix. Fresh reconstitution is recommended.
If the assay is to be carried out at 37°C, warm
up the Reconstituted Reagent at 37°C.
1.
Calibrator: transfer
110 μL water and (10 μL Calibrator + 100 μL
water) into separate wells of a clear bottom
96-well plate.
Samples: transfer 10 μL
samples into separate wells. Add 100 μ L
Reconstituted Reagent and tap plate to mix.
2. Reaction. Incubate
at room temperature or 37° C.
CK is fully
activated within 10 min by glutathione provided
in the Substrate
Solution. Read OD340nm at 10
min and again at 40 min.
3.
Calculation.
Calculate sample CK activity using the equation,

OD40min and OD10min are OD340nm
values at 40 min and 10 min for the sample.
ODCALIBRATOR and ODH2O are OD340nm values of the
Calibrator and water blank at 40 min. The value
100 is the equivalent activity (U/L) of the
Calibrator under the assay conditions. Unit
definition: one unit of CK will transfer 1 μ mole
of phosphate from phosphocreatine to ADP per min
at pH 6.0.
Note:
If the CK activity is expected to be higher than
300 U/L, read OD340nm at 10 min and again at 15
min. To calculate the CK activity replace
(OD40min – OD10min) with (OD15min – OD10min) and
replace the factor 100 with 600 in the above
equation. Linear range: 30 to 1,800 U/L CK
activity.
MATERIALS REQUIRED, BUT NOT
PROVIDED
Pipeting (multi-channel)
devices. Clear-bottom 96-well plates (e.g.
Corning Costar) and plate reader.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
This assay is based on an
enzyme-catalyzed kinetic reaction. Addition of
Reconstituted Reagent should be quick and mixing
should be brief but thorough. Use of
multi-channel pipettor is recommended.
EXAMPLES
Samples were assayed in
duplicate using the 96-well protocol. The CK
activity (U/L) was 12.0 ± 0.9 for a rat serum
sample, 11.0 ± 0.5 for human serum, 28 ± 1 for
human plasma, 9.0 ± 0.8 for mouse serum and 49 ±
2 for bovine serum.
