Profile: Asahi Kasei Pharma Corporation deals with pharmaceuticals, diagnostic reagents, nutritional products, and animal health products. We manufacture clinical chemistry enzymes. Our Lucica GA-L liquid reagents are used to measure GA using conventional automated analyzers, permitting rapid and accurate results across a range of clinical settings. Our Lucica Myoinositol reflects plasma glucose levels after a meal or glucose load, and is excreted in urine. It is a novel in vitro diagnostic test kit requiring a urine sample and this system is used to detect prediabetes. This test is suitable for mass screening for diabetes and glucose intolerance. It is a highly sensitive test kit that is based on an enzymatic method that uses liquid reagents and requires no preparation. We offer enzymes that include aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, pancreatic lipase, purine nucleoside phosphorylase, alcohol oxidase and alanine aminotransferase. We also use feed additives and contact lenses.
