The µTASWako AFP-L3 Immunological Test System is an in vitro device that consists of reagents used with the uTASWako i30 Immunoanalyzer to quantitatively measure, by immunochemical techniques, AFP-L3% in human serum. The device is intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the risk assessment of patients with chronic liver disease for development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in conjunction with other laboratory findings, imaging studies and clinical assessment. Patients with elevated AFP-L3% values (≥ 10%) have been shown to be associated with an increase in the risk of developing HCC within the next 21 months and should be more intensely evaluated for evidence of HCC according to the existing HCC practice guidelines in oncology. The uTASWako DCP Immunological Test System is an in vitro device that consists of reagents used with the µTASWako i30 Immunoanalyzer to quantitatively measure, by immunochemical techniques, DCP in human serum. The device is intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the risk assessment of patients with chronic liver disease for development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in conjunction with other laboratory findings, imaging studies, and clinical assessment. The µTASWako i30 Immunoanalyzer is an in vitro diagnostic automated instrument intended for use to quantitatively measure analytes in clinical chemistry by immunochemical techniques. The uTASWako i30 Immunoanalyzer is indicated for use by healthcare professionals. It is intended for assays cleared or approved for use on this instrument. The Wako uTASWako AFP-L3 Calibrator Set is designed to be used with the Wako µTASWako AFP-L3 Immunological Test System for the quantitative determination of AFP-L3% in human serum. The Wako µTASWako AFP-L3 Control L is designed to be used as quality control material for the quantitative determination of AFP-L3% in human serum using the Wako µTASWako AFP-L3 Immunological Test System. The Wako uTASWako AFP-L3 Control H is designed to be used as quality control material for the quantitative determination of AFP-L3% in human serum using the Wako uTASWako AFP-L3 Immunological Test System. The Wako µTASWako DCP Calibrator Set is designed to be used with the Wako uTASWako DCP Immunological Test System for the quantitative determination of DCP in human serum. The Wako µTASWako DCP Control L is designed to be used as a quality control material for the quantitative determination of DCP in human serum using the Wako µTASWako DCP Immunological Test System. The Wako µTASWako DCP Control H is designed to be used as a quality control material for the quantitative determination of DCP in human serum using the Wako uTASWako DCP Immunological Test System.

The µTASWako i30 Immunoanalyzer System is a fully automated immunoassay system that can perform assays of the uTASWako AFP-L3 and µTASWako DCP Immunological Test Systems. This system automatically conducts sampling, mixing, separation, and fluorescence detection on a microfluidic chip to achieve high sensitivity and accuracy. The instrument contains an automated liquid dispenser, temperature controlled reagent container, chip station, analysis compartment, and sample rack station. The outside panel has a printer and a touch panel with a menu to order measurements and to check the availability for reagent, chip, wash solution, and pure water. A chip is used for each test and is disposable. The instrument is designed to automatically and constantly monitor the reagents, chips, dispensing system and the measurement process so that measurement results are not given when an error occurs. The system is comprised of the following products: uTASWako i30 uTASWako AFP-L3, Calibrator Set, Control L and Control H uTASWako DCP, Calibrator Set, Control L and Control H Instrument and assay accessories as per labeling

The Wako LBA DCP immunological test system is an in vitro device that consists of reagents and an automated instrument used to quantitatively measure by immunochemical techniques DCP in human serum. The device is intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the risk assessment of patients with chronic liver disease for progression to hepatocellular carcinoma in conjunction with other laboratory findings, imaging studies and clinical assessment.

The Wako LBA DCP immunological test system is an in vitro device that consists of reagents and an automated instrument used to quantitatively measure by immunochemical techniques DCP in human serum. The Wako LBA DCP assay is test kit for the quantitative determination of DCP based on a new method, LBA (Liquid-phase Binding Assay). The method uses a liquid-phase binding reaction between antigen and antibody and separates bound and free forms by column chromatography without a need for a solid phase. LBA DCP can offer fully automatic and highly precise DCP measurement by using an automated analyzer "LiBASys". This reagent consists of anti-DCP monoclonal antibodies and anti-Prothrombin monoclonal antibodies which are used as Fab' molecules and a substrate for fluorophotometric measurement.

The Wako AFP-L3% assay is intended as a risk assessment test for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic liver diseases (CLD). Elevated AFPL3% values (≥ 10%) have been shown to be associated with a seven-fold increase in the risk of developing HCC within the next 21 months. Patients with elevated serum AFPL3% should be more intensely evaluated for evidence of HCC according to the existing HCC practice guidelines in oncology.

The Wako AFP-L3% device consists of reagent 1 (LCA and anion 1-conjugated anti-AFP mouse monoclonal antibody), reagent 2 (horseradish peroxidase (POD)labeled anti-AFP mouse monoclonal antibody and anion 2 conjugated anti-AFP mouse monoclonal antibody, substrate 1 (4 acetamidophenol in 2-propanol) and substrate 2 (hydrogen peroxide) and a column. Reagent 1, reagent 2 and the column are ready-to-use. Elution buffers A to C, sample cups, inside and outside cuvettes are sold separately from kit. The Wako AFP-L3 Calibrator set and Control set are sold separately. The calibrator set consisted of Calibrator 1 and 2. Calibrator 1 contains human AFP -L1 fraction and Calibrator 2 has human AFP-L3 fraction. The control set consisted of Control 1 and 2, each containing different concentrations of human AFP-L1 and L-3.
