INTENDED USE
For the quantitative determination of human Alpha-1 Microglobulin in human urine, serum, and plasma by immunoturbidimetric assay.
FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE.

REAGENT PREPARATION
The reagents are ready to use and do not require reconstitution.

STORAGE AND HANDLING
All reagents should be stored refrigerated (2-8°C).  Return all reagents to 2-8°C promptly after use.  Unopened reagents can be used for one year from the date of manufacture, as indicated by the expiration date on the package and bottle labels.  Opened reagents can be used for one month if stored at 2-8°C.  It is recommended that R-2 be gently inverted once a week after it is opened.

Accuracy / Correlation
A comparison of the K-ASSAY ®   Alpha-1 Microglobulin assay and the latex agglutination method of another company is given below:

Serum samples:
y = 1.00x + 2.83
r = 1.00
n = 55
x = Company A's latex reagent
y = K-ASSAY ®   Alpha-1 Microglobulin assay

Urine samples:
y = 1.00x - 0.52
r = 1.00
n = 55
x = Company A's latex reagent
y = K-ASSAY ®   Alpha-1 Microglobulin assay


Assay Range
Serum/Plasma:   1.0 - 137.0 mg/L   (or value of highest calibration point)
Urine:   0.2 - 34.0 mg/L   (or value of highest calibration point)
