Biophen Heparin Calibrator (DISCONTINUED)

Control / IVD

Catalog #: 222001

DISCONTINUED - REPLACEMENT: Chromogenix LMW Heparin Calibration Plasma (C823500)

For in vitro diagnostic use

The Biophen Heparin Calibrator kit is a 4 vial x 5-level set (levels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) of freeze-dried human plasmas supplemented with increasing concentrations (range 0 - 1.60 IU/mL) of Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) for the contstruction of Unfractionated Heparin (UFH) and Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) calibration curves, using anti-Xa colorimetric assays such as Biophen Heparin 3 (cat # 221003) and Biophen Heparin 6 (cat # 221006). Can be used in association with Biophen Heparin Control (cat # 223001) and Biophen LMWH Control Low (cat # 223701) in order to obtain an homogeneous quality control system. Calibrated against an International Standard for LMWH from NIBSC.

Reagents (to be restored with 1 mL distilled water):

  • CAL 1: Calibrator 1. 1ml. 4 vials. 0 IU/mL
  • CAL 2: Calibrator 2. 1ml. 4 vials. about 0.40 IU/mL
  • CAL 3: Calibrator 3. 1ml. 4 vials. about 0.80 IU/mL
  • CAL 4: Calibrator 4. 1ml. 4 vials. about 1.20 IU/mL
  • CAL 5: Calibrator 5. 1ml. 4 vials. about 1.60 IU/m

Performance Characteristics:

The calibration curve obtained covers the usual concentrations currently observed during Heparin (UFH or LMWH) therapy. The currently available anti-Xa methods, used for the measurement of Heparin concentrations in plasma, offer a sensitivity threshold of about 0.05 IU/mL.
