Biophen LMW Heparin Control Low (DISCONTINUED)

Control / IVD

Catalog #: 223701

DISCONTINUED - REPLACEMENT: Chromogenix LMW Heparin Control Plasma (C823492)

For in vitro diagnostic use

The Biophen LMWH Control Low (level I and II) kit is a set of freeze-dried human plasmas supplemented with Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) at 2 different concentrations for the quality control and validation of calibration curves of Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) measurements, 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 Calibrator (cat # 222001) for testing Low Molecular Heparin (LMWH) in plasma. Calibrated against an International Standard for LMWH from NIBSC.

Reagents:

  • CI: Control I. 6 vials of 1 mL (about 0.25 IU/mL) (to be restored with 1 mL distilled water.
  • CII: Control II. 6 vials of 1 mL about 0.50 IU/mL) (to be restored with 1 mL distilled water).

Performance Characteristics:

Calibration curve obtained covers the usual concentrations currently observed during Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) therapy. The currently available anti-Xa methods, used for the measurement of heparins and their analogues in plasma, offer a sensitivity threshold of about 0.05 IU/mL.
