Dilution of Sample
The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):
| Sample type | Dilution factor |
| Human serum | 1 |
| Human urine | 1 |
Note: The diluent is normal saline (0.9% NaCl). For the dilution of other sample types, please do pretest to confirm the dilution factor.
Detection Principle
Oxidative Hcy is converted into free Hcy, which can convert NADH to NAD+ through cyclic catalysis of enzymes, resulting in a decrease of OD value at 340 nm. The Hcy content in the sample is calculated by the rate of decrease.

Parameter:
Intra-assay Precision
Three human serum samples were assayed in replicates of 20 to determine precision within an assay (CV = Coefficient of Variation).
| Parameters | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean (μmol/L) | 5.60 | 35.60 | 84.30 |
| %CV | 2.0 | 1.7 | 1.4 |
Inter-assay Precision
Three human serum samples were assayed 20 times in duplicate by three operators to determine precision between assays.
| Parameters | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean (μmol/L) | 5.60 | 35.60 | 84.30 |
| %CV | 8.8 | 9.2 | 9.0 |
Recovery
Take three samples of high concentration, middle concentration and low concentration to test the samples of each concentration for 6 times parallelly to get the average recovery rate of 104%.
| Standard 1 | Standard 2 | Standard 3 | |
| Expected Conc. (μmol/L) | 12.6 | 42.8 | 92 |
| Observed Conc. (μmol/L) | 13.2 | 44.1 | 95.7 |
| Recovery rate(%) | 105 | 103 | 104 |
Sensitivity
The analytical sensitivity of the assay is 1.95 μmol/L. This was determined by adding two standard deviations to the mean O.D. obtained when the zero standard was assayed 20 times, and calculating the corresponding concentration.
