Solution reagent kit T531-150

blood samplefor clinical chemistrypowder

For the quantitative determination of triglycerides in serum or plasma. Number of tests: 150 tests 10 x 15 mL Testing Procedure: Manual Reconstituted Stability: 30 days at 2 – 8°C 7 days at 15 ‐ 30°C Wavelength: 520 nm Expected Values: 36 – 165 mg/dL It is recommended that each laboratory establish its own range of expected values. Linearity: 1000 mg/dL Reagent Deterioration: The reagent should be discarded if: (1) The dry powder appears moist and has a dark discoloration; (2) The reagent fails to meet linearity claims or fails to recover stated values; (3) The reconstituted reagent has an absorbance of 0.5 or greater against water at 520 nm. Note: A yellow or pink coloration is normal. Limitations of Procedure: Glycerol in rubber stoppers or in contaminated glassware will elevate triglyceride levels. Lipemic or grossly icteric samples will cause falsely elevated results consequently a patient blank should be run. Samples with gross hemolysis or high bilirubin values will produce falsely elevated triglyceride values. A number of drugs and substances affect the measurement of triglyceride.
