Title:
METHOD FOR DETERMINING FREE COPPER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/181215
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a new method for the determination of 'free' copper concentration in serum, i.e. the portion of serum copper not structurally bound to ceruloplasmin. The present invention also refers to a method with a high degree of sensitivity and precision for the determination of free copper in serum samples of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
