Description
Beta Hydroxybutyrate LiquiColor® is a rapid, quantitative method for detecting and monitoring ketosis.
As the predominant ketone during metabolic disturbance, ß-Hydroxybutyrate (B-HB) provides the clearest indication of a patient’s clinical status, making it the preferred biomarker for diagnosing and tracking diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), as well as monitoring ketosis across a range of other conditions, including alcoholism and glycogen storage diseases.
Trusted by over 1,100 hospitals across the USA, Beta-Hydroxybutyrate LiquiColor® is recognized for its accuracy, stability, and diagnostic reliability. Its liquid stable, ready to use formulation allows seamless operation on most open channel clinical chemistry analyzers, supporting high throughput workflows in hospital laboratories.
Beta-Hydroxybutyrate LiquiColor® supports clinical decision making across several metabolic conditions, including: :
- Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), where it is the gold-standard biomarker for diagnosis and monitoring during treatment;
- Ketosis evaluation in fasting, low-carb diets, metabolic disorders, and alcohol-related ketoacidosis;
- Critical Care monitoring where rapid metabolic assessment influences therapeutic intervention.
.
With its proven analytical performance, extensive clinical validation, and widespread adoption across US hospitals, Beta-Hydroxybutyrate LiquiColor® is the preferred ketone testing method for both routine use and high-acuity environments. Its open-channel compatibility, speed, and accuracy make it a powerful tool for any lab seeking to optimize ketosis monitoring and improve patient outcomes.Features: - Quantitative accuracy for early detection and monitoring of ketosis
