-
Immunoassay reagents intended to perform qualitative and/or quantitative analyses on a body fluid sample (typically serum) to determine the amino (N) extension peptides of type I collagen (PINP). The level of PINP in blood is not specific to bone formation, thus the PINP level is only used as an index of total bone-forming activity and not as a specific marker of bone formation.
