Fibrinogen Assay
The Diazyme Fibrinogen Assay is for the quantitative determination of fibrinogen levels in citrated human plasma. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Diazyme’s Fibrinogen Assay is a highly sensitive liquid stable immunoturbidimetric test kit, designed to work on most open clinical chemistry analyzers to provide rapid results with reduced reagent cost. The Fibrinogen Assay is linear up to 1032.8 mg/dL with a correlation coefficient value of 0.9973, slope of 0.986 and y-intercept of 2.72. The following substances do not interfere with this assay at the levels tested less than 10% bias: Hemoglobin up to 1000 mg/dL, Bilirubin 40 mg/dL, Bilirubin conjugated 40mg/dL, Triglycerides 1000 mg/dL, Ascorbic Acid 176 mg/dL, Rheumatoid Factor 220 IU/mL.
The Diazyme Fibrinogen Assay is based on an immunoturbidimetric assay. Fibrinogen in plasma binds to a specific anti-fibrinogen antibody, and forms immune complexes. The degree of the turbidity caused by immune complexes can be measured optically at 340nm and is proportional to the amount of fibrinogen in the sample. The instrument calculates the fibrinogen concentration of a sample by interpolation of the obtained signal of a 4-point calibration curve.
