FAQ's of Erba Mannheim System Pack Iron - FE 125 Kit:
Q: How is the Erba Mannheim Iron FE 125 Kit used in a laboratory setting?
A: The kit is employed for the quantitative determination of iron in serum samples. Laboratories need to load the chromogen reagent, buffer, and standard into a compatible clinical chemistry autoanalyzer and follow the instrument's instructions. All reagents are liquid and ready-to-use, simplifying the testing process.
Q: What clinical analyzers is this kit compatible with?
A: The Erba Mannheim Iron FE 125 Kit is compatible with most commonly used semi and fully automated clinical chemistry analyzers, making it versatile for integration into existing laboratory equipment and workflows.
Q: When should laboratories use this iron determination kit?
A: This kit should be used whenever there is a need to quantitatively determine iron concentrations in serum, such as for diagnosing and managing iron deficiency or overload in patients within hospital, clinical, or diagnostic laboratory settings.
Q: Where do I store the kit, and what are the transport conditions?
A: Store the kit refrigerated at 2-8C and protect it from sunlight. Should the kit need to be transported, maintain the same refrigerated conditions to preserve reagent integrity and accuracy.
Q: What are the benefits of using the Erba Mannheim Iron FE 125 Kit?
A: Users benefit from high accuracy, ready-to-use reagents, long shelf life (18 months), and compatibility with most autoanalyzers. The CE marking assures conformance to European quality standards for in-vitro diagnostic devices.
Q: How does the Ferrozine method work in this kit?
A: The Ferrozine method involves a chemical reaction where iron in the serum forms a colored complex with the Ferrozine reagent, which is measured colorimetrically. This enables precise quantification of serum iron levels through the analyzer.
Q: What is included in the kit and how many tests can it perform?
A: Each kit contains chromogen reagent, buffer, and a standard needed for calibration. The 125 ml volume allows multiple assays, depending on the analyzer and frequency of testing, ensuring cost-effectiveness for most laboratory needs.
