- The fibrinogen degradation product (FDP) control reagent, is used to monitor the accuracy of an FDP test, it is typically a commercially prepared solution containing a known concentration of fibrin degradation products, often used in a latex agglutination assay format, which allows for the visual assessment of the test's performance by comparing the reaction of the control to a positive and negative control on the same test kit; this helps ensure the assay is working correctly and can accurately detect FDPs in patient samples. Key points about FDP control reagents: The FDP Control Contains 0.0500% w/w Human Serum and 1-5 % BSA. Function: Is to verify the accuracy of an FDP test by providing a reference point for interpreting patient results. Composition: Contains a known concentration of fibrin degradation products. Testing method: It can be used in conjunction with a latex agglutination assay where visible agglutination indicates the presence of the FDPs product, it is contained in 3ml glass vial and packaged in a cardboard box.
