Test: Albumin Reagent Set (A502-480) Intended Use Albumin reagent is used for the quantitative determination of albumin concentration in human serum. Number of tests: 480 tests Format: Liquid Method: Endpoint BCG Principle Serum albumin binds selectively to the dye bromcresol green at pH 4.2. The increase in absorbance of the resulting albumin-dye complex, read at 630 nm, is proportional to the albumin concentration. Testing Procedure: Manual & Automated Storage Temperature: Reagent is stored at room temperature (15-30°C) Albumin standard is stored refrigerated (2-8°C) Wavelength: 630 nm Linearity: 0.5 - 8.0 g/dL Expected Values: 3.5 - 5.3 g/dL Reagent Deterioration: The reagent should be a clear, yellow-green solution. If turbidity or precipitation has occurred, the reagent should be discarded. Limitations of Procedure: Ampicillin and other medications seriously interfere with the dye-binding properties of albumin. The dye-binding properties of albumin, other than human, differ among species. Sample with values above 8.0 g/dL should be diluted with 0.9% saline 1:1, re-run, and results multiplied by 2. Samples with results below 0.5 g/dL should be done electrophoretically. CONTACT US: TECO DIAGNOSTICS 1268 N. Lakeview Avenue Anaheim, CA 92807 Tel: 714-463-1111 Fax: 714-463-1169
