Kit size:                              * 72 assays (manual) / 720 (microplate) 
                                            / 840 (auto-analyser)
* The number of manual tests per kit can be doubled if all volumes are halved. 
This can be readily accommodated using the MegaQuantTM Wave
Spectrophotometer (D-MQWAVE).
Method:                             Spectrophotometric at 340 nm
Reaction time:                   ~ 5 min
Detection limit:                  0.491 mg/L
Application examples: 
Grape juice, wine, beer, fruit juices, soft drinks, tea, dairy products 
(e.g. cheese), meat, processed meat, vegetable and fruit products, 
bakery products, paper, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and other 
materials (e.g. biological cultures, samples, etc.)
Method recognition:     
Methods based on this principle have been accepted by MEBAK, OIV, 
EU, ISO2963, AOAC and IFU22
(Note: If the enzyme oxaloacetate decarboxylase is present in the sample, some 
of the oxaloacetate product is converted to pyruvate. Therefore, to ensure citric
acid is measured quantitatively, D-lactate dehydrogenase (D-LDH) is employed
to efficiently convert any pyruvate produced into D-lactate and NAD+).
