Creatinine is a heterocyclic compound widely used in clinical, biochemical, and physiological research. It is a natural breakdown product of creatine phosphate in muscle and is typically excreted in urine. Creatinine is a crucial analyte in kidney function tests and metabolic studies.
This high-purity grade (≥95%) creatinine from Apollo Scientific is ideal for laboratory reagent use, including calibration standards, assay development, and reference material in analytical methods such as colorimetric, HPLC, and spectrophotometric assays.
