Parameter Immunoassay Control Set 1186 for Nitrate

INTENDED USE & DESCRIPTION

For use as quantitative controls for the determination of cytokine concentrations in biological fluids. Concentrations have been assigned using R&D Systems’ Parameter kits. Controls are prepared in diluted porcine serum with preservatives. They contain recombinant human cytokines at low, medium and high concentrations. Controls are supplied in liquid.

STORAGE & STABILITY

Controls are liquid and should be kept frozen until ready to use. Discard after use.

REAGENT PREPARATION

Thaw and run neat.

PROCEDURE & EXPECTED VALUES

Controls should be used undiluted and assayed as unknown specimens.

The acceptable ranges for the analytes in these controls are printed on the CofA. 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 CofA.

• 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 CofA.
