Clinical chemistry reagents intended to perform qualitative and/or quantitative chemical analysis of body fluids (typically in serum) to determine the level of direct (conjugated) bilirubin. Direct bilirubin is composed of both mono- and diconjugated bilirubin and the delta fraction tightly bound to albumin. The level of bilirubin in blood is commonly increased (i.e., hyperbilirubinemia) in several biliary-tree and hepatic disorders that usually produce jaundice.
