QUANTA Flash RF IgM is a chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of IgM rheumatoid factor (RF) antibodies in human serum. The presence of IgM RF antibodies, in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory tests, is an aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). QUANTA Flash RF IgA is a chemiluminescent immunoassay for the semi-quantitative determination of lgA rheumatoid factor (RF) antibodies in human serum. The presence of IgA RF antibodies, in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory tests, is an aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The principle of the assays is chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay, a variation of solid phase immunoassay. The QUANTA Flash® RF IgM and QUANTA Flash® RF IgA assays are designed to run on the BIO-FLASH® instrument. This platform is a fully automated closed system with continuous load and random access capabilities that automatically processes the samples, runs the assay and reports the results. It includes liquid handling hardware, luminometer and computer with software-user interface. The QUANTA Flash® RF IgM and QUANTA Flash® RF IgA assays utilize a reagent cartridge format, which is compatible with the BIO-FLASH® instrument. Rabbit polyclonal antibodies are coated onto paramagnetic beads, which are stored in the reagent cartridge under conditions that preserve the antibody in its reactive state. When the assay cartridge is ready to be used for the first time, the entire cartridge is inverted several times to thoroughly mix the reagents. The reagent cartridge is then loaded onto the BIO-FLASH instrument. A patient serum sample is diluted 1:22.7 by the instrument using system rinse in a disposable plastic cuvette. An aliquot of the diluted patient serum, coupled beads, and assay buffer are combined into a second cuvette, and mixed. This cuvette is incubated at 37°C. The beads are then magnetized and washed several times. Isoluminol conjugated anti-human IgM (QUANTA Flash® RF IgM) or anti-human lgA (QUANTA Flash® RF IgA) antibody is then added to the cuvette, and incubated at 37°C. Again, the beads are magnetized and washed repeatedly. The isoluminol conjugate produces a luminescent reaction when "Trigger" reagents are added to the light produced from this reaction is measured as Relative Light Units (RLU) by the BIO-FLASH optical system. RLU values are proportional to the amount of bound isoluminol conjugate, which in turn is proportional to the amount of RF antibodies bound to the antibodies on the beads. The QUANTA Flash RF IgM and QUANTA Flash RF IgA assays utilize a predefined lot specific Master Curve that is uploaded into the instrument through the reagent cartridge barcode. Based on the results obtained by running the Calibrators, an instrument specific Working Curve is created, which is used by the software to calculate international units per milliliter (IU/mL) (QUANTA Flash® RF IgM) or chemiluminescent units (CU) (QUANTA Flash® RF IgA) from the RLU value obtained for each sample. QUANTA Flash RF IgM Calibrators, QUANTA Flash RF IgM Controls, QUANTA Flash RF IgA Calibrators and QUANTA Flash RF IgA Controls are sold separately.

QUANTA Flash CCP3 is a chemiluminescent immunoassay for the semi-quantitative determination of IgG anti-CCP3 antibodies in human serum. The presence of anti-CCP3 antibodies, in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory tests, is an aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. QUANTA Flash CCP3 Calibrators are intended for use with the QUANTA Flash CCP3 chemiluminescent immunoassay for the determination of IgG anti-CCP3 antibodies in human serum. Each calibrator establishes a point of reference for the working curve that is used to calculate unit values. QUANTA Flash CCP3 Controls are intended for use with the QUANTA Flash CCP3 chemiluminescent immunoassay for quality control in the determination of IgG anti-CCP3 antibodies in human serum.

The QUANTA Flash CCP3 assay is designed to run on the BIO-FLASH® instrument. This platform is a fully automated closed system with continuous load and random access capabilities that automatically processes the samples, runs the assay and reports the results. It includes liquid handling hardware, luminometer and computer with software-user interface. The QUANTA Flash CCP3 assay utilizes a reagent cartridge format, which is compatible with the BIO-FLASH instrument. Synthetic cyclic citrullinated peptide is coated onto paramagnetic beads. The bead suspension is lyophilized and stored in the bead tube. Prior to use in the BIO-FLASH system, the sealed reagent tubes are pierced with the reagent cartridge lid and the beads are rehydrated and resuspended using resuspension buffer by pipetting up and down with a transfer pipette. The reagent cartridge is then loaded onto the BIO-FLASH instrument. Samples are also loaded onto the instrument in sample racks. Serum samples are diluted by the BIO-FLASH with system rinse in a small disposable plastic cuvette. Small amounts of the diluted patient serum, the beads, and assay buffer are combined into a second cuvette, and mixed. This cuvette is then incubated at 37°C. The beads are magnetized and washed several times. Isoluminol conjugated anti-human IgG antibodies are then added to the cuvette, and again incubated at 37°C. The beads are magnetized and washed repeatedly. The isoluminol conjugate is oxidized when Trigger 1 (Fe(II)coproporphyrin in sodium hydroxide solution) and Trigger 2 (ureahydrogen peroxide in sodium chloride solution) are added to the flash of light produced from this reaction is measured as Relative Light Units (RLU) by the BIO-FLASH optical system. The RLU are proportional to the amount of isoluminol conjugate that is bound to the human IgG, which is in turn proportional to the amount of anti-CCP3 antibodies bound to the corresponding beads. For quantitation, the QUANTA Flash CCP3 assay utilizes a predefined lot specific Master Curve that is uploaded onto the instrument through the reagent cartridge barcode. Every new lot number of reagent cartridge must be calibrated before first use, with the QUANTA Flash CCP3 Calibrators. Based on the results obtained with the two Calibrators included in the Calibrator Set (sold separately), an instrument specific Working Curve is created, which is used to calculate chemiluminescent units (CU) from the instrument signal (RLU) obtained for each sample.
