The Alkaline Phosphatase2 assay is used for the quantitation of alkaline phosphatase in human serum or plasma on the ARCHITECT c System. Measurements of alkaline phosphatase or its isoenzymes are to be used as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, bone, parathyroid, and intestinal diseases.

The Alkaline Phosphatase2 assay is an automated clinical chemistry assay for the quantitation of alkaline phosphatase in human serum or plasma on the ARCHITECT c System. Alkaline Phosphatase in a sample catalyzes the hydrolysis of colorless para-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP) to give para-nitrophenol (yellow phenoxide form at alkaline pH) and inorganic phosphate. The rate of absorbance increase at 404 nm is directly proportional to the alkaline phosphatase activity in the sample. Optimized concentrations of zinc and magnesium ions are present to activate the alkaline phosphatase in the sample.

The Total Bilirubin2 assay is used for the quantitation of total bilirubin in human serum or plasma, of adults and neonates, on the ARCHITECT c System. Measurement of total bilirubin, an organic compound formed during the normal destruction of red blood cells, is used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hematological, and metabolic disorders, including hepatitis and disorders of the biliary tract. In newborn infants, the Total Bilirubin2 assay is intended to measure the levels of total bilirubin (conjugated and unconjugated) in serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis and management of neonatal jaundice and hemolytic disease of the newborn.

The Total Bilirubin2 assay (subject device) is an automated clinical chemistry assay for the quantitation of total bilirubin in human serum or plasma, of adults and neonates, on the ARCHITECT c System. Total (conjugated and unconjugated) bilirubin couples with a diazo reagent in the presence of a surfactant to form azobilirubin. The diazo reaction is accelerated by the addition of surfactant as a solubilizing agent. The increase in absorbance at 548 nm due to azobilirubin is directly proportional to the total bilirubin concentration. The methodology is Diazonium salt.

The Cholesterol2 assay is used for the quantitation of cholesterol in human serum or plasma on the ARCHITECT c System. The Cholesterol2 assay is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving excess cholesterol in the blood and lipid and lipoprotein metabolism disorders.

The Cholesterol2 assay is an automated clinical chemistry assay for the quantitation of cholesterol in human serum or plasma on the ARCHITECT c System. Cholesterol esters are enzymatically hydrolyzed by cholesterol esterase to cholesterol and free fatty acids. Free cholesterol, including that originally present, is then oxidized by cholesterol oxidase to cholest-4-ene-3-one and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide oxidatively couples with N,N-Bis(4-sulfobutyl)-3-methylaniline (TODB) and 4-aminoantipyrine to form a chromophore (quinoneimine dye) which is quantitated at 604 nm.

The Urea Nitrogen2 assay is used for the quantitation of Urea Nitrogen in human serum, plasma, or urine on the ARCHITECT c System. The Urea Nitrogen2 assay is to used as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal and metabolic diseases.

The Urea Nitrogen2 assay is an automated clinical chemistry assay. The Urea Nitrogen2 assay is a modification of a totally enzymatic procedure. The test is performed as a kinetic assay in which the initial rate of the reaction is linear for a limited period of time. Urea in the sample is hydrolyzed by urease to ammonia and carbon dioxide. The second reaction, catalyzed by glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH), converts ammonia and a-ketoglutarate to glutamate and water with the concurrent oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). Two moles of NADH are oxidized for each mole of urea present. The initial rate of decrease in absorbance at 340 nm is proportional to the urea concentration in the sample.

The Amylase2 assay is used for the quantitation of amylase in human serum, plasma, or urine on the ARCHITECT c System. The Amylase2 assay is to be used primarily as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreation of the pancreas).

The Amylase2 assay is an automated clinical chemistry assay. The Amylase2 assay is a two-part reaction. Ethylidene-4-NP-G7 (EPS) is hydrolyzed by a-amylase to form 4,6ethylidene-α-(1,4)-D-glucopyranosyl-Gx and 4-nitrophenyl-α-(1,4)-glucopyranosyl-G(7-x). The 4-nitrophenyl-a-(1,4)-glucopyranosyl-G(7-x) is then hydrolyzed into glucose monomers and the assay chromophore (4-nitrophenol) by a-glucosidase. The resulting change in absorbance at 404 nm is proportional to the a-amylase concentration in the sample. Methodology: Enzymatic/Colorimetric. The device is a reagent kit.

The Creatinine2 assay is used for the quantitation of creatinine in human serum, plasma, or urine on the ARCHITECT c System. The Creatinine2 assay is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases, in monitoring renal dialysis, and as a calculation basis for measuring other urine analytes.

The Creatinine2 assay is an automated clinical chemistry assay. At an alkaline pH, creatinine in the sample reacts with picric acid to form a creatinine-picrate complex that absorbs at 500 nm. The rate of increase in absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of creatinine in the sample.

The Albumin BCP2 assay is used for the quantitation of albumin in human serum or plasma on the ARCHITECT c System. The Albumin BCP2 assay is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous diseases involving primarily the liver or kidneys.

The Albumin BCP2 assay is an automated clinical chemistry assay. The Albumin BCP2 procedure is based on the binding of bromocresol purple specifically with human albumin to produce a colored complex. The absorbance of the complex at 604 nm is directly proportional to the albumin concentration in the sample. Methodology: Colorimetric (Bromocresol Purple)

The Albumin BCG2 assay is used for the quantitation of albumin in human serum or plasma on the ARCHITECT c System. The Albumin BCG2 assay is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous diseases involving primarily the liver or kidneys.

The Albumin BCG2 assay is an automated clinical chemistry assay. The Albumin BCG2 procedure is based on the binding of bromocresol green in the assay reagent specifically with albumin in the patient sample to produce a colored complex. The absorbance of the complex at 604 nm is directly proportional to the albumin concentration in the sample. Methodology: Colorimetric (Bromocresol Green)
