Request package insert information
Product Features
Diazyme’s Lp(a) is a dual liquid stable reagent system which provides reliable results and is offered with time saving instrument specific packaging options which eliminate reagent transfer and increase operator efficiency. Instrument specific packaging options including Roche Hitachi 917 series, Olympus AU (400/600/640/680), Beckman Synchron CX, LX and DXC. The method requires only 4 µl of serum sample completed in less than 10 minutes and has excellent correlation with existing commercial products with r2 of 0.997, slope of 1.08, and y intercept of 0.79. The assay has intra precision values of less than 2%. Not all Lp(a) methods correlate well with IFCC standards. The antibodies used in the Diazyme Lp(a) assay method show virtually no Lp(a) size effects producing consistent reliable results. The reagent is stable for 16 months from date of manufacturer when stored @ 2°- 8°C.
Assay Principle
Diazyme's Lipoprotein (a) assay is based on a latex enhanced immunoturbidimetric method. Lp(a) in the sample binds to the specific anti-Lp(a) antibody, which is coated on latex particles, and causes agglutination. The degree of the turbidity caused by agglutination can be measured optically and is proportional to the amount of Lp(a) in the sample.
Intended use
Diazyme's Lipoprotein (a) assay reagent is intended for the quantitative in vitro determination of lipoprotein (a) in serum or plasma. The assay can assist the assessments of patients suspected of having lipid metabolism disorder and premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease when combined with other lipid tests.
