- Description
- The product is an FDP Calibrator set used to accurately calibrate a laboratory instrument that measures Fibrinogen Degradation Products (FDP) levels in a patient's blood sample, allowing for precise determination of FDP concentration by creating a reference curve against unknown samples are compared; this is crucial for diagnosing conditions and monitoring treatment efficacy. Key points about FDP Calibrator Sets: The FDP calibrator Contains 0.0500% w/w Human Serum and 1-5 % body surface area. Function: It contains known concentrations of FDP, allowing the instrument to establish a reliable relationship between the measured signal and the actual FDP level in a sample. Clinical application: It is used in conjunction with an FDP test kit to diagnose conditions associated with elevated FDP levels, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Calibration process: The calibrator set includes 5 vials with known FDP concentrations, which are run on the instrument to generate a calibration curve. Quality control: The regular use of the FDP calibrator sets ensures the accuracy and reliability of FDP measurements on a laboratory instrument. The set includes 5 different concentrations packaged in 3ml glass vials, placed in a cardboard box.
