Parameter Immunoassay Control Set 752 for TBARS

INTENDED USE & DESCRIPTION

For use as quantitative controls for the determination of Thiobarbituruc Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS) concentrations in biological fluids. Concentrations have been assigned using R&D Systems’ Parameter® kits. Controls are prepared in solution. They are formulated at at low, medium and high concentrations. Controls are supplied in liquid.

STORAGE & STABILITY

Controls are liquid and should be stored at 2-8 °C until read to use. Discard the acid treated dilutions after use.

REAGENT PREPARATION

These controls need to be acid treated prior to assay. Follow insert protocol for samples to dilute 2-fold in TBARS Acid Reagent.

PROCEDURE & EXPECTED VALUES

Controls should be assayed in the same manner as unknown specimens.

The acceptable ranges for the analytes in these controls are printed on the product datasheet. Due to possible variations in techniques and methodologies, it is recommended that each laboratory determine its own target range. Laboratories using other test systems should establish their own acceptable ranges as these assays may produce different values.

TECHNICAL HINTS & LIMITATIONS OF THE PROCEDURE 

• The ranges were determined using R&D Systems’ Parameter kits. If expected values are not obtained, verify that the lot numbers on the vials correspond with the lot numbers listed on the CoA.

• The results obtained with these controls depend upon several factors associated with methods and instrumentation. Test systems other than those supplied by R&D Systems may result in values that differ from those printed on this product datasheet.
