Sodium Azide 0,05%| Ready to use. Store at 2-8°C until expiry date.

The composition of the QualityXplorer and the corresponding acceptance intervals of the individual antibodies are stored in the RAPTOR SERVER Analysis Software for each lot of the QualityXplorer. Using the QC module in RAPTOR SERVER Analysis Software, the results of the QualityXplorer measurements can be displayed in tabular or graphical form.
After a minimum number of measurements (e.g. 20 measurements), instrument- specific intervals (2 and 3 standard deviations) can be displayed via the QC module in RAPTOR SERVER Analysis Software. In this way, the laboratory- specific intervals for each allergen can be determined more precisely.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

  • It is recommended to wear hand and eye protection as well as lab coats and follow good laboratory practices (GLP) when preparing and handling reagents and samples.

  • In accordance with good laboratory practice, all human source material should be considered potentially infectious and handled with the same precautions as patient samples. The starting material is partially prepared from human blood sources. The
