Intended Use
For the quantitative determination of human haptoglobin in human serum by immunoturbidimetric assay.  Haptoglobin is a protein that binds hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying pigment in red blood cells.  Measurement of haptoglobin may aid in the diagnosis of hemolytic diseases (diseases in which the red blood cells rupture and release hemoglobin) relating to the formation of hemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes and certain kidney diseases.
FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE.
