The HbA 1c (Hemoglobin A 1c) Advanced assay on the Beckman Coulter DxC700 AU Clinical Chemistry Analyzer, is intended for the quantitative determination of mmol/mol HbA1c (DCCT/NGSP) concentration in human venous whole blood. The determination of HbA1c is used as an aid in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, for the monitoring of long-term glucose control in individuals with diabetes mellitus and identifying patients who may be at risk for developing diabetes mellitus. For in vitro diagnostic use only.

The HbA1c Advanced reagent kit is in a liquid format and is ready to use. It contains four reagents HbA1c R1 and HbA1c R2, Total Hemoglobin R1 and Hemolyzing reagent R1. The HbA1c calibrator is supplied with the reagent, in a liquid, ready to use format and contains 5 x 2mL calibrator levels. The sample hemolysis is automated on the DxC700 AU Clinical Chemistry analyzer. Sample handling is performed as follows: 200 uL of hemolyzing reagent is aspirated from the Hemolyzing Reagent R1and dispensed into a cuvette. Tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) in the hemolyzing reagent eliminates interference from leukocytes. 2 µL of whole blood sample is then aspirated from the patient sample and added to the hemolyzing reagent in the cuvette. This hemolyzed whole blood is then added to the THb assay cuvette and HbA1c assay cuvette as per the assay parameters. The concentrations of both HbA1c and Total Hemoglobin are determined. The HbA1c/Total Hemoglobin ratio is expressed either as mmol/mol (IFCC) or %HbA1c (DCCT/NGSP). Total Hemoglobin Reagent is used to measure total hemoglobin concentration by a colorimetric method. Change in absorbance is measured at 570/660 nm. HbA1c reagent is used to measure hemoglobin A1c concentration by a turbidimetric immunoinhibition method. In the reaction, hemoglobin A1c antibodies combine with HbA1c from the sample to form soluble antigen-antibody complexes. Polyhaptens from the reagent then bind with the excess antibodies and the resulting agglutinated complex is measured turbidimetrically. Change in absorbance is measured at 340/700 nm.

System reagent for the quantitative determination of Ceruloplasmin (CER) in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter AU analyzers as an aid in the diagnosis of copper metabolism disorders.

The Ceruloplasmin reagent kit is in a liquid, ready to use form. It is available in one format OSR6164 which consists of 4 x 18mL R1 vials and 4 x 5ml R2 vials. The calibrator is a Beckman Coulter Serum protein multi-calibrator ODR3023 which is sold separately. Ceruloplasmin is a turbidimetric method the basis for this method is the measurement of the decrease in light transmitted (increase in absorbance) through the particles suspended in solution as a result of complexes formed during the antigen-antibody reaction. The Ceruloplasmin reagent is designed for optimal performance on the Beckman Coulter AU analyzers.

System reagent for the quantitative determination of ß-2-Microglobulin (ß-2-M) in human serum on Beckman Coulter AU analyzers. For In Vitro Diagnostic use only.

The Beta-2-Microglobulin reagent kit is a System Reagent for the Quantitative determination of ß-2-Microglobulin (ß-2-M) in human serum on Beckman Coulter AU analyzers. The ßeta-2-Microglobulin kit is a liquid, ready to use and consists of 4 x 10mL R1 reagent vials and 4 x 8mL R2 reagent vials. Immune complexes formed in solution scatter light in proportion to their size, shape and concentration. Turbidimeters measure the reduction of incident light due to reflection, absorption, or scatter. In the procedure, the measurement of the decrease in light transmitted (increase in absorbance) through particles suspended in solution as a result of complexes formed during the antigen-antibody reaction, is the basis of this assay. The ßeta-2-Microglobulin reagent is designed for optimal performance on Beckman Coulter AU analyzers.

Urine/CSF Albumin: The Urine/CSF Albumin reagent is intended to be used for the quantitation of albumin concentration in human urine and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on the Beckman Coulter AU clinical chemistry systems as an aid in the diagnosis of kidney diseases. For in vitro diagnostic use only. Urine/CSF Albumin Calibrator: The Urine/CSF Albumin calibrator is intended to be used to calibrate the Urine/CSF Albumin reagent on the Beckman Coulter AU clinical chemistry systems. For in vitro diagnostic use only.

The Urine/CSF Albumin reagent kit is in a liquid, ready to use format. There are two kit concepts available. Each kit concept contains an R1 and an R2 reagent vial with different fill volumes. The Urine/CSF Albumin calibrator kit is in a liquid, ready to use format and contains 5 x 2 mL calibrator levels. It is packaged and sold separately to the reagent kit. Urine/CSF Albumin reagent is used to measure albumin concentration by a turbidimetric method. In the reaction, anti-human serum albumin antibodies combine with albumin from the sample to form immune complexes that scatter light in proportion to their size, shape and concentration. The absorbance of these aggregates is proportional to the albumin concentration in the sample. Change in absorbance is measured at 380nm with subtraction of a reference wavelength at 800nm. The Urine/CSF Albumin reagent and calibrator is designed for optimal performance on Beckman Coulter AU clinical chemistry analyzers.
