Beta-Hydroxybutyrate-LiquiColor-Assay

B-HB LiquiColor® Assay

The Stanbio Chemistry LiquiColor Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (B-HB) reagent is used to detect ketones and identify patients suffering from diabetic ketoacidosis, among many other clinical applications.

Beta-Hydroxybutyrate is the most predominant ketone present during DKA and tends to correlate with a patient’s clinical status. Since the Beta-Hydroxybutyrate assay is quantitative, it can be used to monitor ketosis from onset to resolution, making it the superior ketone test.

Our Beta-Hydroxybutyrate reagent is used by over 1,100 hospitals in the USA and can be run on an open channel of a laboratory analyzer.
