SemenAssay®Znic - Kit for Determination of the Zinc Levels in Seminal Plasma
(5-Br-PAPS Method) Male Infertility Test
The kit is mainly used for quantitative detection of zinc
concentration in human seminal plasma, in blood, body fluid, food
and other types of specimens.
Features:
- It is the first one in the country that adopts the method
recommended by WHO to produce the kit. It breaks the monopolization
of Wako Company in the technology. BRED has become the second
manufacturer using this technology in the world.

results.
- Operation in the microplate. Fast and easy-to-use.
- Available for automatic and semiautomatic tests, good for
standardization of test.
- It is ready for use and easy to handle.
- 40 tests per kit and meet the need of batch testing.
- CE approved
Zinc is one of the functional evaluation indicators for prostate,
which is associated with the antibacterial infection. The
pathogenic microorganism infections may cause the male prostatitis, appeared as delayed
liquefaction of semen and decrease of zinc level in seminal plasma. The production, maturation, activation and capacitation of sperm
require the participation of zinc. The lack of zinc in seminal
plasma may cause the decrease of sperm motility; the zinc level is correlated with
the depolymerization function of nuclear chromatin; maintaining the
normal zinc level in the semen would prevent the underlying damage to sperm of
the male and female genital tracts; zinc is also one of metals
contained in the superoxide dismutase (SOD), which can remove the free radical
contained in the semen plasma, thereby inhabiting the lipid
peroxidation of cell membrane and protecting the morphosis and functions of
sperm against the damage.
