SBA Sciences is a Finnish company developing novel immunoassays for bone metabolism studies and diagnostics. BoneTRAP® kit has been developed for detection of bone metastasis and follow up of osteoporosis treatment.
BoneTRAP® Assay (TR201) is a solid-phase immunofixed enzyme activity assay for the rapid and specific determination of bone resorption rate from human serum samples. Can be used in human osteoclast cultures.
measures TRACP 5b activity released specifically from osteoclasts
no interference with TRACP 5a or other phosphatases
hemolysis has no effect
low diurnal variation
not affected by functional disorders of kidneys and liver
MouseTRAP™ test is a solid-phase immunofixed enzyme activity assay for the determination of osteoclast-derived tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase form 5b (TRACP 5b) in mouse serum samples. Can be used in mouse osteoclast cultures.
RatTRAP™ test is a solid-phase immunofixed enzyme activity assay for the determination of osteoclast-derived tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase form 5b (TRACP 5b) in rat serum samples. Can be used in rat osteoclast cultures.
