MicroVue PYD **
 For In Vitro Diagnostic Use
 
 MicroVue PYD provides a quantitative measure of pyridinium cross-links (Pyd and Dpd) as an indicator of type I collagen resorption, especially bone collagen. Pyd and Dpd are excreted unmetabolized in urine.

 The Assay 
  
 
  
   | Format | 
  
   | 96-well microplate with reagents sufficient to test 40 samples in duplicate | 
  
   | Antibody Specificity | 
  
   | The antibody in the assay has a selective, high affinity for free Pyd and Dpd and negligible binding to Pyd and Dpd peptides. |
