The Swemed CK-NAC Reagent Kit 25 ml is a professional clinical biochemistry reagent intended for the quantitative determination of Creatine Kinase (CK) activity using an N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine activated IFCC kinetic method.
Swemed classifies CK-NAC under its cardiac biochemistry reagent range and specifies an IFCC kinetic methodology, stable initial absorbance and high linearity up to 2000 IU/L. The manufacturer also lists serum and plasma, including EDTA and heparin plasma, among the applicable specimen types for CK-NAC.
Creatine kinase is an intracellular enzyme found predominantly in skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle and other tissues. Measurement of total CK activity is commonly used as part of laboratory evaluation of muscle injury and selected cardiac, neuromuscular and metabolic conditions.
The reagent is intended for professional in vitro diagnostic use only in pathology laboratories, diagnostic centres, hospitals and clinical biochemistry facilities.

Swemed's current catalogue describes CK-NAC as an IFCC kinetic reagent with high linearity up to 2000 IU/L.
The CK-NAC reagent follows an IFCC kinetic approach, providing laboratories with a standardised enzymatic methodology for measurement of total Creatine Kinase activity.
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine is used to reactivate Creatine Kinase, supporting accurate measurement of enzyme activity in the assay system.
Swemed states a high assay linearity of up to 2000 IU/L, providing a useful measuring range for routine clinical chemistry applications.
Stable initial absorbance can help provide consistent analyser performance during routine kinetic measurements.
The 25 ml configuration is practical for laboratories managing routine or moderate CK testing volumes.
The Swemed CK-NAC Reagent Kit is intended for quantitative determination of Creatine Kinase activity in suitable serum or plasma specimens using an NAC-activated IFCC kinetic method.
The product is intended exclusively for professional in vitro diagnostic laboratory use.
Creatine Kinase catalyses the reversible transfer of a phosphate group between creatine phosphate and ADP, generating ATP.
In CK-NAC enzymatic systems, the generated ATP participates in coupled reactions involving glucose, hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. These reactions produce NADPH, and the rate of increase in absorbance is proportional to the Creatine Kinase activity in the specimen.
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine helps activate the CK enzyme and forms an important part of the NAC-activated CK methodology.

The exact analyser programming, reagent volumes, sample volume, incubation, factor and calculation should follow the current Swemed CK-NAC package insert and the laboratory's validated analyser application.
Swemed's biochemistry listing identifies the following specimen categories for CK-NAC:
Fresh, properly handled specimens are important because CK is an enzyme and its activity may change with improper collection, storage or handling.
Haemolysis and specimen contamination should be avoided according to the laboratory's validated procedure and manufacturer instructions.
Creatine Kinase is found predominantly in tissues with high energy requirements, including:
CK testing may form part of laboratory evaluation related to:
CK results should always be interpreted together with the patient's clinical condition and other relevant laboratory investigations.
| Test | What It Measures | Typical Laboratory Role |
|---|---|---|
| CK-NAC / Total CK | Total Creatine Kinase activity | General muscle-enzyme assessment |
| CK-MB | CK-MB isoenzyme activity | Cardiac-associated CK fraction |
| Cardiac Troponin | Cardiac-specific proteins | Current primary biomarker for myocardial injury |
CK-NAC and CK-MB are different tests and should not be treated as interchangeable reagents.
| Buyer Type | Typical Application |
|---|---|
| Pathology Laboratories | Routine CK activity testing |
| Diagnostic Centres | Muscle and cardiac enzyme investigations |
| Hospital Laboratories | Inpatient and outpatient clinical chemistry |
| Cardiac Laboratories | Cardiac enzyme panels where applicable |
| Orthopaedic / Neuromuscular Centres | Muscle-enzyme assessment |
| Medical Institutions | Diagnostic and teaching laboratory use |
| Clinical Chemistry Laboratories | Routine enzyme testing |
| Healthcare Organisations | Institutional procurement |
| Laboratory Distributors | Professional supply where permitted |
