The Homocysteine Microtiter Plate Assay is intended for the quantitative determination of total L-homocysteine in human serum or plasma. The device can assist in the diagnosis and treatment of patients suspected of having hyperhomocysteinemia and homocystinuria.
Device Story
The Homocysteine Microplate HPB Assay is an EIA-like diagnostic test for measuring total L-homocysteine (tHcy) in human serum or plasma. The process begins with the pretreatment of plasma samples using a reducing agent, TCEP, to convert protein-bound homocysteine into free homocysteine. Subsequently, SAH hydrolase converts the free homocysteine into S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH). The assay utilizes a genetically engineered Homocysteine Binding Protein (HBP) as a capturing reagent in a competition assay between the sample's SAH and a tracer SAH-HRP conjugate. The resulting signal is quantitated to determine tHcy levels. The device is intended for clinical laboratory use to assist healthcare providers in diagnosing and managing patients with suspected hyperhomocysteinemia and homocystinuria.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies performed. Performance established via bench testing: precision (intra-assay CV 3.8-4.6%, inter-assay CV 6.7-9.2%), linearity (r²=0.99, range 1.5-60 μmol/L), and method comparison against predicate (n=107, Y=0.95X+0.72, r=0.96). Analytical specificity and interference testing conducted.
Technological Characteristics
EIA-like competitive assay; utilizes genetically engineered Homocysteine Binding Protein (HBP) as a capturing reagent; TCEP reducing agent; SAH hydrolase enzyme; microtiter plate format.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative determination of total L-homocysteine in human serum or plasma to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of patients suspected of having hyperhomocysteinemia and homocystinuria.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A urinary homocystine (nonquantitative) test system is a device intended to identify homocystine (an analogue of the amino acid cystine) in urine. The identification of urinary homocystine is used in the diagnosis and treatment of homocystinuria (homosystine in urine), a heritable metabolic disorder which may cause mental retardation.

Description of the device:
Homocysteine Microplate HPB Assay is an EIA-like assay for the determination of tHcy (L-homocysteine) in blood. The assay employs a genetically engineered Homocysteine Binding Protein (HBP) as the capturing reagent. Plasma samples are pretreated in vials with a reducing agent, TCEP, to reduce the protein bound Hcy to free Hcy that is subsequently converted to S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) by SAH hydrolase and quantitated by the HBP in a competition assay between free SAH from samples and tracer SAH-HRP conjugate.
