Intended Use
Kinetic colour test for the quantitative determination of acid phosphatase, EC 3.1.3.2 (ACP), in human serum on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro
diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2
The term acid phosphatase refers to a group of similar enzymes which cleave phosphate esters optimally at a pH below 7.0. These enzymes are present
in the lysosomes of all body cells with the highest activities in the liver, spleen, bone marrow, prostate, erythrocytes and platelets. Because the activities
from the prostate are inhibited by tartrate, the tartrate inhibited proportion of total ACP is also referred to as prostatic ACP. Elevations of the enzymatic
activity of prostatic ACP (and thus, generally, of total ACP activity) may be found in the sera of men with metastatic prostate cancer. The frequency of such
findings in a population of men with prostate cancer increases as the cancer progresses, thus prostatic ACP is useful in the staging of prostate carcinoma.
Serum prostatic ACP measurement is useful in monitoring remission or relapse of a prostatic malignancy and in assessing the effectiveness of various
treatment regimens.
Other diseases which can be associated with elevations of tartrate inhibited ACP include leukemia, polycythemia vera, primary thrombocythemia and
megaloblastic anemia.The majority of the normally low ACP activity of serum is of a tartrate-resistant type and probably originates mainly in osteoclasts.
Activities of this fraction are physiologically increased in growing children and pathologically in conditions of increased osteolysis and bone remodelling
such as Paget's disease, hyperparathyroidism, multiple myeloma, osteosarcoma, osteogenesis imperfecta and renal osteodystrophy. Other diseases
associated with elevated tartrate resistant ACP are Gaucher's disease and Niemann-Pick disease.
Test Principle3
Hillmann reaction
ACP
1-Naphthyl phosphate + H2O Phosphate + 1-Naphthol
Reagent Preparation
R1-1 (Total ACP)
To perform a total ACP (ACP-T) assay dissolve the contents of one R1-S vial (ACP substrate) completely with the contents of one bottle of R1-1 (Total
ACP buffer).
R1-2 (Non-Prostatic-ACP)
To perform a non-prostatic ACP (ACP-NP) assay dissolve the contents of one R1-S vial (ACP substrate) completely with the contents of one bottle of
R1-2 (Non-prostatic ACP buffer).
Attach the adaptor to the buffer bottle then connect the substrate powder vial to the other end. Gently mix the linked bottles until the powder is completely
dissolved. The solution can then be collected in the buffer bottle and placed on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum. Do not use plasma.
Serum should be separated as soon as possible and 1 drop of stabiliser (ACP-St) added to 1mL of the sample.
Separated serum, without stabiliser, is stable for 15 min when stored at 15…25°C and 3-4 hours when stored at 2…8°C. Stabilised serum can be stored
4
for 8 days when stored at 2…25°C.
Lipemic, icteric and haemolysed samples should be avoided.
Calibration
The test is run in MB-mode, two analyser specific MB-factors (ACP-T & ACP-NP) are required. To provide a robust approach to generate the analyser
specific MB factor, it is recommended that 5 separate calibration events should be used. A fresh vial of calibrator, utilising System Calibrator Cat No. 66300
in the AB calibration mode, should be used for each of these runs. When calculating the mean factor from the separate runs the data should be examined
for obvious outliers which should be repeated and replaced. For the AU2700/AU5400 this procedure needs to be performed for each ring. Quality control
procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good laboratory practice.
The calibrator value is traceable to a Beckman Coulter Master Calibrator.
Re-establishment of the analyser specific MB factor is recommended when a critical part of the analyser is replaced.
Reagent blank measurement is recommended when changing to a new lot of reagent.
Quality Control
controls Cat. No. ODC0003 and ODC0004 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient
samples are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory
generates analyte specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should
fall within the corresponding acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the ACP-T and ACP-NP activity of each sample. The activity of prostatic ACP can be generated by
the analyser when set as a calculated test:
Prostatic-ACP = Total-ACP – Non-Prostatic-ACP.
Reference Intervals1
Adults 37°C-Total ACP
Male ≤ 6.6 Pentanediol activation U/L (0.11 µkat/L)
Female ≤ 6.5 Pentanediol activation U/L (0.11 µkat/L)
Adults Tartrate-inhibited ACP (Prostatic ACP)
≤ 3.0 Pentanediol activation U/L (0.05 µkat/L)
Values obtained with different prostatic acid phosphatase assays cannot be used interchangeably. Before changing assays, laboratories must confirm
baseline values for patients being serially monitored.
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the Total ACP method to interference were as follows:
Icterus: Interference less than 10% up to 0.6 mg/dL or 10.3 µmol/L bilirubin
Ascorbate: Interference less than 10% up to 8 mg/dL ascorbate
Haemolysis: Interference less than 10% up to 4 g/L haemoglobin
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 10% up to 300 mg/dL Intralipid
Limitations
Prostatic acid phosphatase results may be influenced by a number of factors other than malignancy and should always be interpreted in conjunction with
the patients clinical history and other diagnostic procedures. Do not use plasma.

ALP
OSR6103 4 x 30 mL R1
4 x 30 mL R2
Intended Use
Kinetic colour test for the quantitative determination of alkaline phosphatase, EC 3.1.3.1 (ALP), in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter
analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is present in almost all body tissues, located at or in cell membranes. It occurs at particularly high levels in interstitial
epithelium, kidney tubules, bone (osteoblasts), liver and placenta. The precise metabolic function of ALP has not yet been fully elucidated, however the
enzyme is associated with intestinal lipid transport and bone calcification. ALP originates in approximately equal proportions from the liver and the skeletal
system. Approximately 25% of healthy individuals also have intestinal ALP which accounts for approximately 10% of the total ALP in a fasting sample.
Increases in total ALP are either due to physiological causes, or are caused by diseases of the liver or bone. Physiological increases in ALP are found in
pregnancy from the 2nd trimester onwards due to placental ALP, in growing children due to bone ALP and postprandially in individuals with blood groups
B and O, who are secretors of blood group substance H (intestinal ALP). The most common cause of elevated ALP is hepatobiliary disease, with
pathological ALP levels found in approximately 60% of patients with disease of the liver or biliary tract. ALP levels may also be elevated in primary bone
diseases, such as osteomalacia, osteogenesis imperfecta, vitamin D intoxication and primary bone tumours. ALP levels may also be increased in
secondary bone diseases, such as skeletal metastases, and in diseases such as multiple myeloma, acromegaly, renal insufficiency, hyperthyroidism,
ectopic ossification, sarcoidosis, bone tuberculosis and healing fractures. In bone diseases such as Paget’s disease, vitamin D deficiency rickets and
metastatic bone disease, ALP activity is a good indicator of bone activity, in the absence of co-existing chronic liver disease. Total ALP is only occasionally
elevated in some metabolic bone diseases such as hyperparathyroidism, osteopenia or osteoporosis. Reduced levels of ALP are found in familial
hypophosphatasia, hypoparathyroidism, achondroplasia, adynamic bone disease in dialysis patients, pituitary dwarfism, chronic radiation sickness and
malnutrition.
Test Principle3
Method based on the recommendations of the “German Society for Clinical Chemistry” (GSCC).
Alkaline phosphatase activity is determined by measuring the rate of conversion of p-Nitrophenyl phospate (pNPP) to p-Nitrophenol (pNP) in the presence
of magnesium ions and diethanolamine as phosphate acceptor at pH 9.8.
The rate of increase in absorbance due to the formation of pNP is measured at 410/480 nm and is directly proportional to the ALP activity in the sample.

Intended Use
Kinetic colour test for the quantitative determination of alkaline phosphatase, EC 3.1.3.1 (ALP), in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter
analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is present in almost all body tissues, located at or in cell membranes. It occurs at particularly high levels in interstitial
epithelium, kidney tubules, bone (osteoblasts), liver and placenta. The precise metabolic function of ALP has not yet been fully elucidated, however the
enzyme is associated with intestinal lipid transport and bone calcification. ALP originates in approximately equal proportions from the liver and the skeletal
system. Approximately 25% of healthy individuals also have intestinal ALP which accounts for approximately 10% of the total ALP in a fasting sample.
Increases in total ALP are either due to physiological causes, or are caused by diseases of the liver or bone. Physiological increases in ALP are found in
pregnancy from the 2nd trimester onwards due to placental ALP, in growing children due to bone ALP and postprandially in individuals with blood groups B
and O, who are secretors of blood group substance H (intestinal ALP). The most common cause of elevated ALP is hepatobiliary disease, with
pathological ALP levels found in approximately 60% of patients with disease of the liver or biliary tract. ALP levels may also be elevated in primary bone
diseases, such as osteomalacia, osteogenesis imperfecta, vitamin D intoxication and primary bone tumours. ALP levels may also be increased in
secondary bone diseases, such as skeletal metastases, and in diseases such as multiple myeloma, acromegaly, renal insufficiency, hyperthyroidism,
ectopic ossification, sarcoidosis, bone tuberculosis and healing fractures. In bone diseases such as Paget’s disease, vitamin D deficiency rickets and
metastatic bone disease, ALP activity is a good indicator of bone activity, in the absence of co-existing chronic liver disease. Total ALP is only occasionally
elevated in some metabolic bone diseases such as hyperparathyroidism, osteopenia or osteoporosis. Reduced levels of ALP are found in familial
hypophosphatasia, hypoparathyroidism, achondroplasia, adynamic bone disease in dialysis patients, pituitary dwarfism, chronic radiation sickness and
malnutrition.
Test Principle3
Method based on the recommendations of the “International Federation for Clinical Chemistry” (IFCC).
Alkaline phosphatase activity is determined by measuring the rate of conversion of p-nitro-phenylphosphate (pNPP) to p-nitrophenol (pNP) in the presence
of magnesium and zinc ions and of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) as phosphate acceptor at
pH 10.4. The rate of change in absorbance due to the formation of pNP is measured bichromatically at 410/480 nm and is directly proportional to the ALP
activity in the sample.

Safety Phrases:
S24,S26,S37,S60. Avoid contact with skin. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Wear suitable
gloves. This material and its container must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
Exercise the normal precautions required for handling all laboratory reagents.
To avoid the possible build-up of azide compounds, flush waste-pipes with water after the disposal of undiluted reagent.
During the reaction p-nitrophenol is produced. This is harmful when inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin.
Dispose of all waste material in accordance with local guidelines.
Refer to Safety Data Sheets for further information.
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Storage and Stability
The reagents are stable, unopened, up to the stated expiry date when stored at 2…8 °C.
Absorption of atmospheric CO2 by the reagent on board the analyser can impair its stability. This effect will vary depending upon the rate of use. Bottle
replacement is recommended when one of the following conditions are encountered:
14 days have elapsed on board the analyser;
Significant shift in control values (>7 %) following local QC procedures;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.

Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use
statement. The paediatric application is suitable for use with small volume serum/plasma samples.
Calibration
The test is run in MB-mode. To provide a robust approach to generate the analyser specific MB factor, it is recommended that 5 separate calibration events
should be used. A fresh vial of calibrator, utilising System Calibrator Cat No. 66300 in the AB calibration mode, should be used for each of these runs.
When calculating the mean factor from the separate runs the data should be examined for obvious outliers which should be repeated and replaced. For the
AU2700/AU5400 this procedure needs to be performed for each ring. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in
accordance with good laboratory practice.
The calibrator value is traceable to a Beckman Coulter Master Calibrator.
Re-establishment of the analyser specific MB factor is recommended when a critical part of the analyser is replaced;
Reagent blank measurement is recommended when changing to a new lot of reagent.
Quality Control
Controls Cat. No. ODC0003 and ODC0004 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency.
Good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples are tested and each time calibration is performed. Values obtained for
the controls should fall within specified limits as defined by the user. If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the alkaline phosphatase activity of each sample.

Intended Use
Kinetic UV test for the quantitative determination of alanine aminotransferase, EC 2.6.1.2 (ALT), in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter
analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
OSR6507 for use on the AU2700 and AU5400 systems only. OSR60180 for use with 3-part-reagent enabled systems only.
Summary1,2,3
ALT is an aminotransferase, a group of enzymes which catalyse the reversible transformation of α-keto acids into amino acids by transfer of amino groups.
Since the specific activity of ALT in the liver is approximately 10 times that of heart and skeletal muscle, elevated serum ALT activity is mainly regarded as
an indicator of parenchymal liver disease. ALT is present in the cytosol of hepatocytes, and increased serum levels indicate deterioration in the integrity of
the hepatocyte plasma membrane. ALT has greater diagnostic sensitivity for hepatobiliary disease than AST. Activities >50 times the upper reference limit
are mainly associated with acute viral hepatitis, acute disorders of liver perfusion and acute liver necrosis due to ingestion of toxins including paracetamol
and carbon tetrachloride. Markedly elevated serum ALT levels may be found in a variety of diseases involving the liver, including hepatitis, mononucleosis
and cirrhosis. Elevated ALT levels may be detected in viral hepatitis and other forms of liver disease prior to development of overt clinical symptoms such
as jaundice. Levels greater than 15 times the upper reference limit are always indicative of acute hepatocellular necrosis of viral, toxic or circulatory origin.
Increased ALT levels may also be detected in cirrhosis and extrahepatic cholestasis. Slight or moderate increases in ALT levels may also be observed
after ingestion of alcohol, or administration of drugs including penicillin, salicylates or opiates.
Test Principle4
Method based on the recommendations of the “International Federation for Clinical Chemistry” (IFCC).
ALT transfers the amino group from alanine to 2-oxoglutarate to form pyruvate and glutamate. The addition of pyridoxal phosphate to the reaction mixture
ensures maximum catalytic activity of ALT. The pyruvate enters a lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalysed reaction with NADH to produce lactate and
+
NAD . The decrease in absorbance due to the consumption of NADH is measured at 340 nm and is proportional to the ALT activity in the sample.
Endogenous pyruvate is removed during the incubation period.
Reaction Principle
ALT
2-Oxoglutarate + L-Alanine L-Glutamate + Pyruvate
+ LDH +
Pyruvate + NADH + H L-lactate + NAD
Reagent Preparation
With manual pyridoxal phosphate addition
Pyridoxal Phosphate Liquid (Cat. No. 60106) and Pyridoxal Phosphate tablets (Cat No. 60100) are supplied separately for pyridoxal phosphate activation.
Pipette Pyridoxal Phosphate Liquid 60106 into the R1 bottle according to the table below, and mix by gentle inversion. Alternatively, dissolve tablets
completely in the R1 bottle according to the table below, by mixing gently several times. R2 is ready for use and can be placed directly on board the
instrument. This method can also be used for 3-part-reagent enabled systems.
Cat. No. Volume Pyridoxal Phosphate Liquid No. of Pyridoxal Phosphate tablets
OSR6007 0.25 mL 1 tablet
OSR6107 1 mL 4 tablets
OSR6507 2 mL 8 tablets
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
The paediatric application is suitable for use with small volume serum/plasma samples.
Calibration
The test is run in MB-mode. To provide a robust approach to generate the analyser specific MB factor it is recommended that 5 separate calibration events
should be used. A fresh vial of calibrator, utilising System Calibrator Cat No. 66300 in the AB calibration mode, should be used for each of these runs.
When calculating the mean factor from the separate runs the data should be examined for obvious outliers which should be repeated and replaced. For the
AU2700/AU5400 this procedure needs to be performed for each ring. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in
accordance with good laboratory practice.
With pyridoxal phosphate activation, the calibrator value is traceable to the IFCC reference method and IRMM/IFCC-454. Without pyridoxal phosphate
activation, the calibrator is traceable to a Beckman Coulter Master Calibrator.
Re-establishment of the analyser specific MB factor is recommended when a critical part of the analyser is replaced.
Reagent blank measurement is recommended when changing to a new lot of reagent.
Quality Control
Controls Cat. No. ODC0003 and ODC0004 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the ALT activity of each sample.
Reference Intervals6,7
Male (Adult) < 50 U/L (0.85 µkat/L)
Female (Adult) < 35 U/L (0.60 µkat/L)
Newborn/Infant 13 − 45 U/L (0.22 − 0.75 µkat/L)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Linearity
The test is linear within an enzyme activity range of 3 – 500 U/L (0.05 – 8.33 µkat/L).
Precision
The following data was obtained on an AU600 using 3 serum pools analysed over 10 days.
n = 60 Within Run Total
Mean U/L SD CV% SD CV%
18 0.53 2.95 0.57 3.16
56 0.80 1.43 1.00 1.78
459 2.88 0.63 3.67 0.80
Sensitivity
The lowest detectable level on an AU600 analyser was estimated at 1 U/L.
The lowest detectable level represents the lowest measurable level of ALT that can be distinguished from zero. It is calculated as the absolute mean plus
three standard deviations of 20 replicates of an analyte free sample.
Limitations
Highly lipemic samples may exceed the reaction absorbance and will be flagged with a “@”. Such samples should be diluted and re-run.

Intended Use
Kinetic colour test for the quantitative determination of α-amylase, [1,4-α-D-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.1], in human serum, plasma and urine on
Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2,3
Amylases are a group of hydrolases that split complex carbohydrates composed of alpha-D-glucose units linked through carbon atoms 1 and 4 located on
adjacent glucose residues. In the body, amylase is present in a number of organs and tissues. The greatest concentration is present in the pancreas,
where the enzyme is synthesised by the acinar cells and then secreted into the intestinal tract by way of the pancreatic duct system. The salivary glands
also secrete a potent amylase to initiate hydrolysis of starches while the food is still in the mouth and oesophagus.
Diseases resulting in elevation of plasma alpha-amylase include: acute pancreatitis, parotitis, alcoholism, renal insufficiency and diseases such as viral
hepatitis, AIDS, abdominal typhoid, sarcoidosis and trauma to the upper abdomen. There is also a detectable increase in amylase after an ERCP
procedure.
In acute pancreatitis, amylase increases 5-6 hours after the onset of symptoms and remains elevated for 2-5 days. The increase in plasma activity does
not reflect disease severity and conversely, extensive destruction of the pancreas may not cause a significant increase in the plasma concentration of
pancreatic alpha-amylase.
Alpha amylase is excreted by glomerular filtration and then 50% of it is reabsorbed by the tubules. This reabsorption is significantly reduced in transient
tubular damage, after burns, in the presence of diabetic ketoacidosis and acute pancreatitis as well as proteinuria resulting in an increase of alpha-amylase
clearance. The measurement of alpha amylase in urine is indicated in the investigation of hyperamylasemia associated with macroamylasemia or renal
insufficiency. Hypoamylasemia has been observed in advanced cystic fibrosis, severe liver disease and pancreatectomy. Also due to the decreased
concentration of the salivary fraction hypoamylasemia has been found in obese subjects.
Test Principle4
The α-amylase colour test employs 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl-α-D-maltotrioside (CNPG3) as substrate. This substrate reacts directly with α-amylase and does
not require the presence of ancillary enzymes. The release of 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol (CNP) from the substrate and the resulting absorbance increase at
410 nm is directly proportional to the α-amylase activity in the sample.
Reaction Principle
CNPG3 + H2O α-amylase CNP + Maltotriose

Test Principle4
Method based on the recommendations of the “International Federation of Clinical Chemistry” (IFCC).
The α-amylase colour test employs 4,6-ethylidene(G7)-p-nitrophenyl(G1)-α-D-maltoheptaoside (ethylidene-G7PNP) as substrate. This substrate
reacts with α-amylase and the fragments with α-glucosidase to give a 100% release of p-Nitrophenol (PNP). The increase of absorbance at
410 nm is directly proportional to the α-amylase activity in the sample.
Reaction Principle (Simplified)4
α-amylase
5 ethylidene-G7PNP + 5H20 2 ethylidene-G5 + 2 G2PNP + 2 ethylidene-G4
+ 2 G3PNP + ethylidene-G3 + G4PNP
α-glucosidase
2 G2 PNP + 2 G3PNP + G4PNP + 14 H20 5PNP + 14G
(PNP = p-Nitrophenol; G = Glucose)
Contents, Reagent Composition in the Test
Final concentration of reactive ingredients:
HEPES buffer (pH 7.15) 50 mmol/L
Sodium chloride 70 mmol/L
Calcium chloride 1 mmol/L
4,6-ethylidene-G7PNP > 1.4 mmol/L

Intended Use
Kinetic UV test for the quantitative determination of aspartate aminotransferase, EC 2.6.1.1 (AST), in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter
analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
OSR6509 for the use on the AU2700 and AU5400 systems only. OSR60180 for use with 3-part-reagent enabled systems only.
Summary1,2,3
AST occurs in a wide variety of tissues including liver, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, brain, kidneys, lungs, pancreas, erythrocytes and leucocytes, with
highest activities found in liver and skeletal muscle. Measurement of AST is indicated in the diagnosis, differentiation and monitoring of hepatobiliary
disease, myocardial infarction and skeletal muscle damage. AST measurement may also be performed as part of medical screening examinations. In
some cases, AST may be useful in monitoring the course of myocardial infarction. Where recent myocardial infarction is suspected, AST has a diagnostic
sensitivity of 96%, with a diagnostic sensitivity of 86% at 12 hours after onset of chest pain. AST levels may be increased in viral hepatitis and liver disease
associated with hepatic necrosis, with 20 to 50 fold elevations frequently encountered. The evaluation of AST activity in relation to ALT (De Ritis ratio;
AST/ALT) is a useful indicator of liver damage. Ratios <1.0 are indicative of mild liver damage, and are particularly associated with diseases of an
inflammatory nature. Ratios >1.0 are indicative of severe liver disease, usually involving necrosis. Increased AST levels may be detected in cirrhosis,
extrahepatic cholestasis, progressive muscular dystrophy, dermatomyositis, acute pancreatitis, haemolytic disease, gangrene, crushed muscle injuries and
pulmonary emboli. Slight or moderate increases in AST levels may also be observed after ingestion of alcohol, or administration of drugs including
penicillin, salicylates or opiates.
Test Principle4
Method based on the recommendations of the “International Federation for Clinical Chemistry” (IFCC).
In this method, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) catalyses the transamination of aspartate and 2-oxoglutarate, forming L-glutamate and oxalacetate. The
addition of pyridoxal phosphate to the reaction mixture ensures maximum catalytic activity of AST. The oxalacetate is reduced to L-malate by malate
dehydrogenase (MDH), while NADH is simultaneously converted to NAD+. The decrease in absorbance due to the consumption of NADH is measured at
340 nm and is proportional to the AST activity in the sample. Endogenous pyruvate is removed by the LDH-reaction during the incubation period.
Reaction Principle
AST
2-Oxoglutarate + L-Aspartate L-Glutamate + Oxalacetate
+ MDH +
Oxalacetate + NADH + H L-Malate + NAD
Reagent Preparation
With manual pyridoxal phosphate addition
Pyridoxal Phosphate Liquid (Cat. No. 60106), and Pyridoxal Phosphate tablets (Cat. No. 60100) are supplied separately for pyridoxal phosphate activation.
Pipette Pyridoxal Phosphate Liquid 60106 into the R1 bottle according to the table below, and mix by gentle inversion. Alternatively, dissolve tablets
completely in the R1 bottle according to the table below, by mixing gently several times. R2 is ready for use and can be placed directly on board the
instrument. This method can also be used for 3-part-reagent enabled systems.

Without pyridoxal phosphate activation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
The paediatric application is suitable for use with small volume serum/plasma samples.
Calibration
The test is run in MB-mode. To provide a robust approach to generate the analyser specific MB factor it is recommended that 5 separate calibration events
should be used. A fresh vial of calibrator, utilising System Calibrator Cat No. 66300 in the AB calibration mode, should be used for each of these runs.
When calculating the mean factor from the separate runs the data should be examined for obvious outliers which should be repeated and replaced. For the
AU2700/AU5400 this procedure needs to be performed for each ring. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in
accordance with good laboratory practice.
With pyridoxal phosphate activation the calibrator value is traceable to the IFCC reference method. Without pyridoxal phosphate activation,the calibrator
value is traceable to a Beckman Coulter Master Calibrator.
Re-establishment of the analyser specific MB factor is recommended when a critical part of the analyser is replaced.
Reagent blank measurement is recommended when changing to a new lot of reagent.
Quality Control
Controls Cat. No. ODC0003 and ODC0004 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the AST activity of each sample.
Reference Intervals6,7
Male (Adult) < 50 U/L (0.85 µkat/L)
Female (Adult) < 35 U/L (0.60 µkat/L)
Newborn 25 − 75 U/L (0.42 − 1.25 µkat/L)
Infant 15 − 60 U/L (0.25 − 1 µkat/L)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Specific performance characteristics
Data contained within this section is representative of performance on Beckman Coulter systems. Data obtained in your laboratory may differ from these
values.
Linearity
The test is linear within an enzyme activity range of 3 – 1000 U/L (0.05 – 16.7 µkat/L).
Precision
The following data was obtained on an AU600 using 3 serum pools analysed over 10 days.
n = 60 Within Run Total
Mean U/L SD CV% SD CV%
27 0.53 1.93 1.16 4.23
71 0.59 0.84 0.95 1.35
415 2.42 0.58 5.05 1.22
Sensitivity
The lowest detectable level on an AU600 analyser was estimated at 1 U/L.
The lowest detectable level represents the lowest measurable level of AST that can be distinguished from zero. It is calculated as the absolute mean plus
three standard deviations of 20 replicates of an analyte free sample.
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to interference were as follows:
Icterus: Interference less than 10% up to 40 mg/dL or 684 µmol/L bilirubin
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 5% up to 300 mg/dL Intralipid
Pyruvate: Interference less than 10% up to 1 mmol/L pyruvate
8
Refer to Young for further information on interfering substances.
Limitations
Highly lipemic samples may exceed the reaction absorbance and will be flagged with a “@”. Such samples should be diluted and re-run.

CHOLINESTERASE
OSR6114 4 x 30 mL R1
4 x 6 mL R2
Intended Use
Kinetic colour test for the quantitative determination of cholinesterase, EC 3.1.1.8 (CHE) in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter
analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2
Cholinesterase is responsible for the rapid hydrolysis of acetylcholine released at nerve endings to mediate the transmission of the neural
impulse across the synapse. Degradation of acetylcholine is necessary for the depolarisation of the nerve so that it can undergo repolarisation in
the next conduction event. Serum cholinesterase levels are useful as an indicator of insecticide poisoning, for detection of patients with atypical
forms of the enzyme, or as a test of liver function. Cholinesterase is competitively inhibited by the alkaloids prostigmine and physostigmine.
Cholinesterase activity is also inhibited by organic phosphorous compounds including Parathion, Sarin and tetraethyl pyrophosphate, chemicals
which may be inhaled or absorbed by workers in the agriculture or organic chemical industries. A wide variety of other compounds inhibit
cholinesterase, including morphine, quinine, tertiary amines, phenothiazines, pyrophosphate, bile salts, citrate, fluoride and borate. If sufficient
material is absorbed to inactivate all the acetylcholinesterase of nervous tissue, death will result. A 40% drop in serum cholinesterase activity
occurs before the first symptoms are noted, and a drop of 80% is required before neuromuscular effects are apparent. Near zero levels of
enzyme activity require emergency treatment of the patient with enzyme regulators such as pyridine-2-aldoxime.
Patients with low levels or weakly active acetylcholine may undergo a period of prolonged apnoea on administration of succinyldicholine
(suxamethonium), a muscle relaxant used during surgical procedures. Sensitivity to succinyldicholine is dependent on the phenotype of the
patient, and preoperative screening has been advocated to identify patients in whom complications may arise. In these cases, patients may be
characterised by measurement of serum cholinesterase activity, in addition to the calculation of inhibition of enzyme activity toward specified
substrates in the presence of dibucaine or fluoride. Measurement of serum cholinesterase activity may also be used as a measure of the
synthetic capacity of the liver. A 30-50% decrease in level is observed in acute hepatitis, with decreases of 50-70% observed in advanced
cirrhosis and carcinoma with metastases to the liver. Increased cholinesterase levels may be found in diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease,
hyperlipoproteinaemia Type IV, Gilbert’s syndrome, and those with Cynthiana variant, a familial variant which results in cholinesterase levels of
2-3 times normal . Increased cholinesterase activity is not considered to be of clinical significance. Normal levels are noted in chronic hepatitis,
mild cirrhosis and obstructive jaundice.
Test Principle3
Method based on the recommendations of the “German Society for Clinical Chemistry” (GSCC, 1994).
Cholinesterase catalyses the hydrolysis of butyrylthiocholine to butyrate and thiocholine. Thiocholine reduces yellow hexacyanoferrate (III) to
colourless hexacyanoferrate (II). The decrease in absorbance at 410 nm is directly proportional to the cholinesterase activity in the sample.
Reaction principle
CHE
Butyrylthiocholine + H2O Butyric acid + Thiocholine
- 3- 4-
2 Thiocholine + 2 OH + 2 [Fe(CN)6] (Yellow) Dithiobis(choline) + H2O + 2 [Fe(CN)6] (Colourless)
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum or heparinised plasma.
4
Stable in serum and plasma for 1 year when stored at 2…25°C.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User’s Guide and the accompanying Instrument Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions.
Calibration
The test is run in MB-mode. To provide a robust approach to generate the analyser specific MB factor, it is recommended that 5 separate calibration
events should be used. A fresh vial of calibrator, utilising System Calibrator Cat No. 66300 in the AB calibration mode, should be used for each of these
runs. When calculating the mean factor from the separate runs the data should be examined for obvious outliers which should be repeated and replaced.
For the AU2700/AU5400 this procedure needs to be performed for each ring. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately
following calibration in accordance with good laboratory practice.
3
The calibrator value is traceable to a standard method.
Re-establishment of the analyser specific MB factor is recommended when a critical part of the analyser is replaced.
Reagent blank measurement is recommended when changing to a new lot of reagent.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the CHE activity of each sample.
Reference Intervals2
Male 4.62 – 11.5 kU/L ( 77 – 192 µkat/L)
Female 3.93 – 10.8 kU/L ( 65 – 180 µkat/L)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Limitations
This product is not suitable for the determination of red cell cholinesterase.

Intended Use
Kinetic UV test for the quantitative determination of creatine kinase, EC 2.7.3.2 (CK), in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter
analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2,3,4
Creatine kinase (CK), a dimer composed of M-muscle and /or B-brain subunits which associate to form the isoenzymes CK-MM, CK-MB and
CK-BB, catalyses the reversible phosphorylation of creatine by ATP. Measurements of CK are primarily used in the diagnosis and treatment of
myocardial infarction as well as being the most sensitive indicator of muscle damage. CK is increased whenever there is necrosis or
regeneration of muscle and is therefore elevated in most myopathies such as Duchenne-muscular dystrophy and in conditions associated with
muscle necrosis such as rhabdomyolysis. Total CK can also be increased in diseases of the CNS such as Reyes Syndrome where a 70 fold
increase in CK activity indicates the severity of the encephalopathy.
CK-BB predominates in the brain, prostate, gut, lung, kidney, bladder, uterus, liver, thyroid and the placenta. CK-MM predominates in skeletal
and cardiac muscle. In healthy individuals the total activity consists mainly of CK-MM while the other CK isoenymes and variants are only
present in trace amounts or are undetectable. CK-MB is present to varying degrees in heart muscle and also to a minor degree in skeletal
muscle.
CK activity rises following myocardial damage, with a significant increase in both the CK-MM and CK-MB fractions. The proportional rise in the
CK-MB fraction to some extent depends on the size of the myocardial damage and on a history of previous myocardial damage. Changes in the
ratio of CK-MB to CK-MM may be used to diagnose a myocardial infarct (MI), the ratio reaching a peak within 1.5 hours post MI. The diagnostic
sensitivity and specificity of total CK estimation for the diagnosis of an MI can be improved by determining the rate of increase ("slope") of CK on
serial samples obtained on admission and at 4, 8 and 12 hours thereafter. A 50% incremental increase per hour over the time period
differentiates between an acute MI and non-infarction with an overall efficiency of 94%.
For patients in need of an early diagnosis of a myocardial infarction a rapidly appearing biomarker such as CK-MB plus a biomarker that rises
later e.g. cardiac troponin is recommended for confirmation of the diagnosis.
Test Principle5
Method based on the recommendations of the “International Federation of Clinical Chemistry” (IFCC).
CK reversibly catalyses the transfer of a phosphate group from creatine phosphate to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to give creatine and
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as products. The ATP formed is used to produce glucose-6-phosphate and ADP from glucose. This reaction is
catalysed by hexokinase (HK) which requires magnesium ions for maximum activity. The glucose-6-phosphate is oxidised by the action of the
enzyme glucose-
6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6P-DH) with simultaneous reduction of the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADP) to give NADPH
and 6-phosphogluconate. The rate of increase of absorbance at 340/660 nm due to the formation of NADPH is directly proportional to the
activity of CK in the sample.
Reaction Principle
CK
Creatine phosphate + ADP Creatine + ATP
HK
ATP + Glucose ADP + Glucose-6-phosphate
+ G6P-DH +
Glucose-6-phosphate + NADP 6-Phosphogluconate + NADPH + H
Reagent Preparation
R1: The entire contents of bottle R1-2 must be transferred into the entire volume of R1-1. Mix by gentle inversion before placing on board the
instrument.
R2: The reagent is ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum is the recommended specimen. Haemolysed samples should be avoided. Allow specimen to clot and remove serum from cells promptly
to minimise haemolysis and contamination by adenylate kinase from the red cells.
5,6
Stable in serum, protected from light, for 8-12 hours when stored at 2…8°C and 4 hours when stored at 15…25°C.
Heparinised plasma, free from haemolysis, can also be used. Plasma samples may occasionally produce unpredictable rate reactions resulting
5
in false low results. Plasma with EDTA, oxalate or citrate is not recommended.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User’s Guide and the accompanying Instrument Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions.
Calibration
The test is run in MB-mode. To provide a robust approach to generate the analyser specific MB factor, it is recommended that 5 separate
calibration events should be used. A fresh vial of calibrator, utilising System Calibrator Cat No. 66300 in the AB calibration mode, should be
used for each of these runs. When calculating the mean factor from the separate runs the data should be examined for obvious outliers which
should be repeated and replaced. For the AU2700/AU5400 this procedure needs to be performed for each ring. Quality control procedures
should be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good laboratory practice.
The calibrator value is traceable to the IFCC reference method.
Re-establishment of the analyser specific MB factor is recommended when a critical part of the analyser is replaced.
Reagent blank measurement is recommended when changing to a new lot of reagent.
Quality Control
Controls Cat. No. ODC0003 and ODC0004 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency.
Good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples are tested and each time calibration is performed. Values
obtained for the controls should fall within specified limits as defined by the user. If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all
operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the creatine kinase activity of each sample.
Reference Intervals7
Male ≤ 171 U/L (2.85 µkat/L)
Female ≤ 145 U/L (2.42 µkat/L)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the
expected values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For
diagnostic purposes, results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other
findings.

Intended Use
Enzymatic immuno-inhibition test for the quantitative determination of the creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) in human serum and plasma on
Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2,3
Creatine kinase (CK) EC 2.7.3.2, a dimer composed of M-muscle and /or B-brain subunits which associate to form the isoenzymes CK-MM, CK-MB and
CK-BB, catalyses the reversible phosphorylation of creatine by ATP. Measurements of CK are primarily used in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial
infarction as well as being the most sensitive indicator of muscle damage. CK is increased whenever there is necrosis or regeneration of muscle and is
therefore elevated in most myopathies such as Duchenne-muscular dystrophy and in conditions associated with muscle necrosis such as rhabdomyolysis.
Total CK can also be increased in diseases of the CNS such as Reye’s Syndrome where a 70 fold increase in CK activity indicates the severity of the
encephalopathy.
CK-BB predominates in the brain, prostate, gut, lung, kidney, bladder, uterus, liver, thyroid and the placenta. CK-MM predominates in skeletal and cardiac
muscle. In healthy individuals the total serum activity consists mainly of CK-MM while the other CK isoenymes and variants are only present in trace
amounts or are undetectable. CK-MB is present to varying degrees in heart muscle and also to a minor degree in skeletal muscle.
CK activity rises following myocardial damage, with a significant increase in both the CK-MM and CK-MB fractions. The proportional rise in the CK-MB
fraction to some extent depends on the size of the myocardial damage and on a history of previous myocardial damage. Changes in the ratio of CK-MB to
CK-MM may be used to diagnose a myocardial infarction (MI), the ratio reaching a peak within 1.5 hours post MI. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity
of total CK estimation for the diagnosis of an MI can be improved by determining the rate of increase ("slope") of CK on serial samples obtained on
admission and at 4, 8 and 12 hours thereafter. A 50% incremental increase per hour over the time period differentiates between an acute MI and non-
infarction with an overall efficiency of 94%.
For patients in need of an early diagnosis of a myocardial infarction a rapidly appearing biomarker such as CK-MB plus a biomarker that rises later e.g.
cardiac troponin is recommended for confirmation of the diagnosis.
Test Principle4,5
R1 contains an antibody which binds to the M subunit of CK in the serum sample thereby inhibiting the activity of the M subunit. The B subunit of the
enzyme remains free to act on the substrate present in R2. CK reversibly catalyses the transfer of a phosphate group from creatine phosphate to
adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to give creatine and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as products. The ATP formed is used to produce glucose-6-phosphate
and ADP from glucose. This reaction is catalysed by hexokinase (HK) which requires magnesium ions for maximum activity. The glucose-6-phosphate is
oxidised by the action of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6P-DH) with simultaneous reduction of the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) to give NADPH and 6-phosphogluconate. The rate of increase of absorbance at 340 nm due to the formation of NADPH is
directly proportional to the activity of CK-MB in the sample.

Reagent Preparation
R1: The entire contents of bottle R1-2 must be transferred into the entire volume of R1-1. Mix by gentle inversion before placing on board the
instrument.
R2: The reagent is ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User’s Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended
Use statement.
Calibration
The test is run in MB-mode. To provide a robust approach to generate the analyser specific MB factor, it is recommended that 5 separate calibration
events should be used. A fresh vial of calibrator, utilising CK-MB Calibrator Cat no ODR30034 in the AB calibration mode, should be used for each of these
runs. When calculating the mean factor from the separate runs the data should be examined for obvious outliers which should be repeated and replaced.
For the AU2700/AU5400 this procedure needs to be performed for each ring. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately
following calibration in accordance with good laboratory practice.
Re-establishment of the analyser specific MB factor is recommended when a critical part of the analyser is replaced.
Reagent blank measurement is recommended when changing to a new lot of reagent.
Traceability: This method has been standardised against the CKtotal IFCC Reference Method with addition of antibody, performed manually and
calculated via molar absorption coefficient ε.
Quality Control
CK-MB Control Level 1 ODR30035 and Level 2 ODR30036 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be
used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency.
Good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples are tested and each time calibration is performed. Values obtained for
the controls should fall within specified limits as defined by the user. If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Please note that the recovery of non-Beckman Coulter controls may vary with reagent lots of immunoassay products, due to the use of non-human
materials in the controls.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the CK-MB activity of each sample.
Reference Intervals
2,8
Adults (37°C) < 24 U/L (0.4 µkat/L)
2
Myocardial infarction: the probability of myocardial damage is high when the following conditions are fulfilled .
U/L µkat/L
1. CK total > 250 > 4.17
2. CK-MB > 24 > 0.4
3. CK-MB activity is between 6 and 25 % of total CK
If myocardial infarction is suspected and the values found are below the stated limits, the infarction may be fresh. In this case the determinations
should be repeated after 4 hours with a fresh sample.
A fraction of less than 6% indicates skeletal muscle damage. A fraction above 25 % may indicate the presence of Macro-CK and requires further
2
clarification.
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to interference were as follows:
Icterus: Interference less than 10% up to 40 mg/dL or 684 µmol/L bilirubin
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 20% up to 900 mg/dL Intralipid

Intended Use
Kinetic colour test for the quantitative determination of gamma-glutamyltransferase, EC 2.3.2.2 (GGT) in human serum and plasma on Beckman
Coulter analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2,3
Gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT) belongs to a group of peptidases which catalyse the transfer of amino acids from one peptide to another
and thus act as amino acid transferases. The enzyme only reacts with peptides or peptide-like compounds containing a terminal glutamate
residue joined to the remainder of the compound through the terminal carboxyl. GGT is present in all cells of the body except those in muscle
however the enzyme present in serum appears to originate primarily from the hepatobiliary system. An increase in GGT is always a sign of liver
damage if liver specific enzymes such as ALT, GLDH or CHE are also abnormal. GGT is however of little value in attempting to discriminate
between different kinds of liver disease.
GGT is dramatically increased in cases of intrahepatic or posthepatic biliary obstruction. It is more sensitive than alkaline phosphatase in
detecting obstructive jaundice, cholangitis and cholecystitis and its rise occurs earlier and persists longer. GGT is also increased in patients with
infectious hepatitis, fatty livers, in acute and chronic pancreatitis and in patients receiving anticonvulsant drugs such as phenytoin and
phenobarbital.
As elevated levels of GGT are observed in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis, and in the majority of sera from people who are heavy drinkers, GGT
plays a role in the detection of alcoholism, alcoholic liver damage and in monitoring alcohol abstinence. The enzyme is also useful in ratio with
HDL-cholesterol in cases of alcohol abuse, alkaline phosphatase in cases of alcoholic liver disease and aspartate aminotransferase for
distinguishing neonatal hepatitis from biliary atresia.
Test Principle4
Method based on the recommendations of the “International Federation for Clinical Chemistry” (IFCC).
GGT catalyses the transfer of the gamma-glutamyl group from the substrate, gamma-glutamyl-3-carboxy-4-nitroanlide, to glycylglycine, yielding
5-amino-2-nitrobenzoate. The change in absorbance at 410/480 nm is due to the formation of 5-amino-2-benzoate and is directly proportional to
the GGT activity in the sample.

HBDH
OSR6129 4 x 15 mL R1
4 x 15 mL R2
Intended Use
Kinetic UV test for the quantitative determination of 2-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase EC 2.2.4.3 (HBDH) in human serum and plasma on Beckman
Coulter analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1
2-Hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH) activity is defined as the catalytic oxidation of 2-hydroxybutyrate to 2-oxobutyrate. HBDH measurement, and
calculation of the LDH/HBDH ratio is advocated as an alternative to the measurement of LDH isoenzymes. LDH-1 and LDH-2, which constitute the largest
proportions of monomer H, are relatively more active with 2–oxobutyrate than with pyruvate. The LDH/HBDH ratio in healthy individuals varies from 1.2 to
1.6. Patients with parenchymal disease have greater LDH-5 activity resulting in an increase in the LDH/HBDH ratio ranging from 1.6 to 2.5. In myocardial
infarction, LDH-1 and LDH-2 activity is increased, with a resultant decrease in the LDH/HBDH ratio to levels ranging from 0.8 to 1.2. Exact ratios are
dependent on assay conditions.
Test Principle2
Photometric UV determination based on the recommendations of the “German Society for Clinical Chemistry” (GSCC).
The anodal fraction of LDH isoenzymes (LDH-1 and LDH-2) shows a high activity with 2-oxobutyrate as substrate under suboptimal reaction conditions.
The LDH activity obtained with 2-oxobutyrate as substrate is called 2-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (2-HBDH).
2-HBDH catalyses the reversible reduction of 2-oxobutyrate by NADH to 2-hydroxybutyrate. The decrease in NADH concentration is measured at 340 nm
and is directly proportional to the 2-HBDH activity in the sample.
Reaction Principle
+ HBDH +
2-Oxobutyrate + NADH + H 2-Hydroxybutyrate + NAD
Specimen
3
Serum and heparinised plasma: Stable in serum for 4 days when stored at 2…8°C and 7 days when stored at 15…25°C.
Haemolysed samples should be avoided.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User’s Guide and the accompanying Instrument Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions.
Calibration
The test is run in MB-mode. To provide a robust approach to generate the analyser specific MB factor, it is recommended that 5 separate calibration events
should be used. A fresh vial of calibrator, utilising System Calibrator Cat No. 66300 in the AB calibration mode, should be used for each of these runs.
When calculating the mean factor from the separate runs the data should be examined for obvious outliers which should be repeated and replaced. For the
AU2700/AU5400 this procedure needs to be performed for each ring. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in
accordance with good laboratory practice.
The calibrator value is traceable to a Beckman Coulter master calibrator.
Re-establishment of the analyser specific MB factor is recommended when a critical part of the analyser is replaced.
Reagent blank measurement is recommended when changing to a new lot of reagent.
Quality Control
Controls Cat. No. ODC0003 and ODC0004 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency.
Good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples are tested and each time calibration is performed. Values obtained for
the controls should fall within specified limits as defined by the user. If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the HBDH activity of each sample.
Reference Intervals4
Adults 90 – 180 U/L (1.5 – 3 µkat/L)
Limitations
Highly lipemic samples may exceed the reaction absorbance and will be flagged with a “@”. Such samples should be diluted and re-run.

LDH
OSR6126 4 x 50 mL R1
4 x 25 mL R2
Intended Use
Kinetic UV test for the quantitative determination of lactate dehydrogenase, EC 1.1.1.27 (LDH) in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter
analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2,3
+ +
Lactate dehydrogenase, an NAD oxidoreductase, catalyses the reversible oxidation of L-lactate to pyruvate using NAD as a hydrogen acceptor. It is
present in all cells of the body and is invariably found only in the cytoplasm of the cell. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 134,000 and is composed of
4 peptide chains of 2 types: M and H. The total LDH measurable in serum consists of the activities of the 5 isoenzymes LDH-1 to LDH-5 which are
differentiated on the basis of their subunit composition. Because the concentration of LDH in the tissues is 500 times higher than that in plasma, damage to
even a small amount of tissue can lead to a significant increase in the activity of LDH in serum. The main role of total LDH is therefore in the detection of
minor tissue damage. High specific activities of the enzyme are found in the liver, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, kidneys and erythrocytes.
Myocardial infarction is usually associated with a 3-4 fold elevation of total LDH; similar increases in LDH can occur in myocarditis, cardiac dysrhythmias,
electrical cardioversion and prosthetic valve replacement. After prosthetic valve replacement there is a close correlation between the LDH level and
shortened erythrocyte survival time. Determination of LDH is therefore a reliable method for quantification of the extent of haemolysis. Elevations of LDH
activity are observed in liver damage, but these elevations are not as great as the increases in aminotransferase activity. Elevations are especially high
(10 times upper limit of normal) in toxic hepatitis with jaundice; slightly lower levels are observed in viral hepatitis and infectious mononucleosis. The
LDH/AST ratio can be used to differentiate between prehepatic jaundice caused by haemolysis or dyserythropoiesis from hepatic jaundice. In Duchenne
muscular dystrophy elevations of LDH activity are found years before the appearance of clinical symptoms, in the course of the disease the activity can
increase approximately 5 fold. Elevated LDH may also be seen in Aran-Duchenne and Kugelberg-Welander spinal muscular atrophy, dermatomyositis,
polymyositis and as a result of strenuous physical exercise. Other diseases that can cause an increased activation of LDH include renal infarction, Korean
haemorrhagic fever, chronic glomerular disease, shock, pulmonary embolism/infarction and haemolytic and megaloblastic anemias.
Test Principle4
Method based on the recommendations of the Scandinavian Committee on Enzymes.
+
LDH catalyses the reduction of pyruvate to lactate at a neutral pH. This reaction is coupled with the oxidation of NADH to NAD . The decrease of NADH is
measured at 340 nm and is directly proportional to the enzyme activity in the sample.
Reaction Principle
+ +
LDH
Pyruvate + NADH + H Lactate + NAD
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum and heparinised plasma. Separate serum from the clot as soon as possible. Haemolysed serum must not be used because erythrocytes contain
150 times more LDH activity than serum.
5
Stable in serum for 4 days when stored at 2…8°C and 7 days when stored at 15…25°C.
Where plasma is used, care should be taken to avoid contamination with platelets which contain high concentrations of LDH.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
The paediatric application is suitable for use with small volume serum/plasma samples.
Calibration
The test is run in MB-mode. To provide a robust approach to generate the analyser specific MB factor, it is recommended that 5 separate calibration events
should be used. A fresh vial of calibrator, utilising System Calibrator Cat No. 66300 in the AB calibration mode, should be used for each of these runs.
When calculating the mean factor from the separate runs the data should be examined for obvious outliers which should be repeated and replaced. For the
AU2700/AU5400 this procedure needs to be performed for each ring. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in
accordance with good laboratory practice.
The calibrator value is traceable to a Beckman Coulter Master Calibrator.
Re-establishment of the analyser specific MB factor is recommended when a critical part of the analyser is replaced.
Reagent blank measurement is recommended when changing to a new lot of reagent.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the LDH activity of each sample.
Reference Intervals2,6
Adult 208 - 378 U/L (3.47 – 6.30 µkat/L)
Children
1 day <1327 U/L (22.1 µkat/L)
2 − 5 day <1732 U/L (28.9 µkat/L)
6 day − 6 month <975 U/L (16.3 µkat/L)
4 − 6 year <615 U/L (10.3 µkat/L)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the LDH method to interference were as follows:
Icterus: Interference less than 3% up to 40 mg/dL or 684 µmol/L bilirubin
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 5% up to 1000 mg/dL Intralipid

4 x 20 mL R2
Intended Use
Kinetic UV test for the quantitative determination of lactate dehydrogenase, EC 1.1.1.27 (LDH) in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter
analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2,3
+ +
Lactate dehydrogenase, an NAD oxidoreductase, catalyses the reversible oxidation of L-lactate to pyruvate using NAD as a hydrogen acceptor. It is
present in all cells of the body and is invariably found only in the cytoplasm of the cell. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 134,000 and is composed of
4 peptide chains of 2 types: M and H. The total LDH measurable in serum consists of the activities of the 5 isoenzymes LDH-1 to LDH-5 which are
differentiated on the basis of their subunit composition. Because the concentration of LDH in the tissues is 500 times higher than that in plasma, damage to
even a small amount of tissue can lead to a significant increase in the activity of LDH in serum. The main role of total LDH is therefore in the detection of
minor tissue damage. High specific activities of the enzyme are found in the liver, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, kidneys and erythrocytes.
Myocardial infarction is usually associated with a 3-4 fold elevation of total LDH; similar increases in LDH can occur in myocarditis, cardiac dysrhythmias,
electrical cardioversion and prosthetic valve replacement. After prosthetic valve replacement there is a close correlation between the LDH level and
shortened erythrocyte survival time. Determination of LDH is therefore a reliable method for quantification of the extent of haemolysis. Elevations of LDH
activity are observed in liver damage, but these elevations are not as great as the increases in aminotransferase activity. Elevations are especially high
(10 times upper limit of normal) in toxic hepatitis with jaundice; slightly lower levels are observed in viral hepatitis and infectious mononucleosis. The
LDH/AST ratio can be used to differentiate between prehepatic jaundice caused by haemolysis or dyserythropoiesis from hepatic jaundice. In Duchenne
muscular dystrophy elevations of LDH activity are found years before the appearance of clinical symptoms, in the course of the disease the activity can
increase approximately 5 fold. Elevated LDH may also be seen in Aran-Duchenne and Kugelberg-Welander spinal muscular atrophy, dermatomyositis,
polymyositis and as a result of strenuous physical exercise. Other diseases that can cause an increased activation of LDH include renal infarction, Korean
haemorrhagic fever, chronic glomerular disease, shock, pulmonary embolism/infarction and haemolytic and megaloblastic anemias.
Test Principle4
Method based on the recommendations of the “International Federation of Clinical Chemistry” (IFCC).
+
LDH catalyses the oxidation of lactate to pyruvate coupled with the reduction of NAD to NADH. The increase of NADH is measured at 340nm and is
directly proportional to the enzyme activity in the sample.

Intended Use
Kinetic colour test for the quantitative determination of lipase in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro diagnostic
use only.
Summary1,2
Lipase is produced in the acinar cells of the pancreas and is responsible for the hydrolysis of water-insoluble long chain fatty acid esters of
glycerol. Lipase measurement in serum and plasma is used exclusively for the investigation of pancreatic disorders, usually pancreatitis. Serum
lipase may be elevated in acute pancreatitis, acute episodes of chronic pancreatitis and obstructive pancreatitis, with levels up to 80 times the
upper reference limit found in acute serious inflammation. However it should be noted that the severe destruction of the acinar cells in the later
stages of chronic pancreatitis results in a reduction of the amount of enzyme entering the circulation. Marginal or no increase of lipase is
therefore not unusual in this disease. In acute upper quadrant abdominal syndrome, hyperlipasemia of up to 5 times the upper reference limit
may be found in penetrating duodenal ulcer, duodenal diverticulum, cholecystitis, and ileus, where there is pancreatic involvement. Lipase levels
are also elevated in renal insufficiency, particularly where dialysis is required. Investigation of the biliary tract by endoscopic retrograde
pancreatography, or treatment with opiates, may also result in serum lipase elevation. Slight elevations are also frequently present in diabetic
ketoacidosis, viral hepatitis, epidemic parotiditis, abdominal typhoid and sarcoidosis, due to involvement of the pancreas.
Test Principle3
Pancreatic lipase hydrolyses esters of long chain fatty acids from their triglycerides. The enzyme activity requires the presence of co-lipase.
Pancreatic specific 1,2-Diglyceride is hydrolysed to 2-Monoglyceride and fatty acid. The 2-Monoglyceride is then measured by coupled enzyme
reactions catalysed by monoglyceride lipase (MGLP), glycerol kinase (GK), glycerol phosphate oxidase (GPO) and peroxidase (POD).
Reaction Principle
Lipase
1,2-Diglyceride + H2O 2-Monoglyceride + fatty acid
MGLP
2-Monoglyceride + H2O Glycerol + fatty acid
GK
Glycerol + ATP Glycerol-3-phosphate + ADP
GPO
Glycerol-3-phosphate + O2 Dihydroxyacetone-P + H2O2
POD
2 H2O2 + 4-aminophenazone + TOOS Quinonediimine-dye + 4 H2O
Reagent Preparation
R1: Dissolve the contents of one vial of R1 Lyo completely with the contents of one vial of R1 buffer. Mix gently by inversion and place on board the
instrument.
R2 is ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum and EDTA or heparinised plasma.
4
Stable in serum and plasma for 3 weeks when stored at 2…8°C and 7 days when stored at 15…25°C.
Lipemic and icteric samples should be avoided.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User’s Guide and the accompanying Instrument Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions.
Calibration
Calibrator provided in the kit: For value assigned to the calibrator provided in the kit, please refer to bottle label.
The calibrator value is traceable to a Beckman Coulter master calibrator. Recalibrate the assay every 7 days, or when the following occur:
Change in reagent bottle number or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Note: System Calibrator Cat. No.: 66300 can also be used. Refer to System Calibrator Cat. No.: 66300 instructions for use for further
information.
Quality Control
Controls Cat. No. ODC0003 and ODC0004 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency.
Good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples are tested and each time calibration is performed. Values
obtained for the controls should fall within specified limits as defined by the user. If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all
operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the lipase activity of each sample.
Reference Intervals
5
Adult < 67 U/L (< 1.12 µkat/L)
6
Children < 1y 0 – 8 U/L (0 – 0.13 µkat/L)
1 – 9y 5 – 31 U/L (0.08 – 0.52 µkat/L)
10 – 18y 7 – 39 U/L (0.12 – 0.65 µkat/L)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.

Sensitivity
The lowest detectable level on an AU600 analyser was calculated as 1 U/L.
The lowest detectable level represents the lowest measurable level of lipase that can be distinguished from zero. It is calculated as the absolute
mean plus three standard deviations of 20 replicates of an analyte free sample.
Method Comparison
Patient serum samples were used to compare this Lipase OSR6130 assay on the AU600 against another commercially available lipase assay. Results of
linear regression analysis were as follows:
y = 0.984x – 3 r = 0.999 n = 84 Sample range = 5 – 715 U/L
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to interference were as follows:
Ascorbate: Interference less than 5% up to 20 mg/dL ascorbate
Icterus: Interference less than 10% up to 12 mg/dL or 205 µmol/L bilirubin
Haemolysis: Interference less than 10% up to 5 g/L haemoglobin
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 10% up to 80 mg/dL Intralipid
In very rare cases gammopathy, especially monoclonal IgM (Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia), may cause unreliable results.

ALBUMIN
OSR6102 4 x 29 mL R1
OSR6202 4 x 54 mL R1
Intended Use
Photometric colour test for the quantitative determination of albumin in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro diagnostic
use only.
Summary1,2
Albumin is the most abundant protein in human plasma, representing 55-65% of the total protein. Its primary biological functions are to transport and store
a wide variety of ligands, to maintain the plasma oncotic pressure and to serve as a source of endogenous amino acids. Albumin binds and solubilises
non-polar compounds such as plasma bilirubin and long-chain fatty acids as well as binding numerous pharmaceuticals.
Hyperalbuminemia is infrequent and is caused by severe dehydration and excessive venous stasis. Hypoalbuminemia may be caused by impaired
synthesis e.g. in liver disease or in protein deficient diets; increased catabolism as a result of tissue damage and inflammation; reduced absorption of
amino acids caused by malabsorption syndromes or malnutrition; protein loss to the exterior as observed in nephrotic syndrome, enteropathy or burns; and
altered distribution e.g. in ascites. Severe hypoalbuminemia results in a serious imbalance of intravascular oncotic pressure causing the development of
edema.
Measurements of albumin concentrations are vital to the understanding and interpretation of calcium and magnesium levels because these ions are bound
to albumin, and so decreases of albumin are also directly responsible for depression of their concentrations.
Test Principle3
A coloured complex is formed when bromocresol green reacts with albumin. The absorbance of the albumin-BCG complex is measured bichromatically
(600/800nm) and is proportional to the albumin concentration in the sample.
Reaction Principle
pH 4.2
Albumin + Bromocresol Green Green Complex
Reagent Preparation
The reagent is ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum and EDTA or heparinised plasma.
4
Separate from cells immediately. Separated plasma and serum is stable at 2…8°C for 30 days and at 15…25°C for 7 days.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
The paediatric application is suitable for use with small volume serum/plasma samples.
Calibration
System Calibrator Cat. No. 66300.
The calibrator albumin value is traceable to IFCC (International Federation of Clinical Chemistry) standard CRM 470. Recalibrate the assay when the
following occur:
Change in reagent lot number or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Quality Control
Controls Cat. No. ODC0003 and ODC0004 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Reference Intervals5,6
Serum (Adults) 35 – 52 g/L (3.5 – 5.2 g/dL)
Serum (Newborn 0 – 4 day) 28 – 44 g/L (2.8 – 4.4 g/dL)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to interference were as follows:
Icterus: Interference less than 10% up to 40 mg/dL or 684 µmol/L bilirubin
Haemolysis: Interference less than 10% up to 4.5 g/L haemoglobin
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 10% up to 800 mg/dL Intralipid
In very rare cases gammopathy, especially monoclonal IgM (Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia), may cause unreliable results.

BICARBONATE
OSR6190 4 x 25 mL R1
OSR6290 4 x 50 mL R1
Intended Use
System reagent for the quantitative determination of bicarbonate in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use
only.
Summary
Bicarbonate measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous potentially serious disorders associated with changes in body acid-base
-
balance. The determination of bicarbonate (HCO3 ) is used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory information for the evaluation of acid-base
- -
status. An elevation of the HCO3 level may be observed in compensated respiratory acidosis and metabolic alkalosis. Low HCO3 levels may be observed
1
in compensated respiratory alkalosis and metabolic acidosis. Additional laboratory determinations will permit differentiation between metabolic and
respiratory conditions.

The Bicarbonate reagent utilizes an enzymatic method to measure bicarbonate in human serum and plasma. In this procedure bicarbonate (HCO3 ) and
phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) are converted to oxaloacetate and phosphate in the reaction catalyzed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC). Malate
dehydrogenase (MD) catalyzes the reduction of oxaloacetate to malate with the concomitant oxidation of a reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
(NADH). This oxidation of the NADH results in a decrease in absorbance of the reaction mixture measured bichromatically at 380/410 nm proportional to
-
the HCO3 content of the sample.
Reaction Principle
PEPC
- -
PEP + HCO3 Oxaloacetate + H2PO4

Oxaloacetate + NADH + H Malate + NAD
Reagent Preparation
The reagent is ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum and heparinised plasma samples free from haemolysis are the recommended specimens. Separate serum or plasma from cells promptly to
minimise haemolysis.
- 1
Once separated from cells, HCO3 in serum is stable for several hours when stored at 2…8°C and protected from exposure to air.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
The paediatric application is suitable for use with small volume serum/plasma samples.
Calibration
Bicarbonate Calibrator Cat No. ODC0019.
The calibrator bicarbonate value is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Material (SRM) 351.
Recalibrate the assay every day, or when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot number or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Absorption of atmospheric CO2 by the reagent on board the analyser can impair calibration stability. This effect will vary depending upon the rate of use.
Consequently each laboratory should set a calibration frequency in the instrument parameters appropriate to their usage pattern.
Quality Control
Control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.

Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the bicarbonate concentration of each sample.
Reference Intervals2,3
Adult 21 − 31 mmol/L
Newborn 17 − 24 mmol/L
Infant 19 − 24 mmol/L
2 months − 2 years 16 − 24 mmol/L
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.

OSR6211 4 x 20 mL R1 DBILC
4 x 20 mL R1 DBILB
Intended Use
Photometric colour test for the quantitative determination of direct bilirubin in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For
in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2
80 – 85% of bilirubin produced daily originates from haemoglobin released by the breakdown of senescent erythrocytes, the remaining
15 – 20% results from the breakdown of haem-containing proteins such as myoglobin, cytochromes, catalases and from bone marrow as a
result of ineffective erythropoiesis.
Because of its poor solubility in water unconjugated bilirubin (indirect bilirubin) is transferred to the liver bound to albumin. Inside the
hepatocytes it is rapidly conjugated with glucuronic acid to produce bilirubin mono- and diglucuronide (direct bilirubin) which are then excreted in
bile together with all other normal biliary constituents.
Whereas prehepatic jaundice (e.g. haemolytic anemia and neonatal jaundice) is primarily associated with an increase in unconjugated bilirubin,
the assessment of direct bilirubin is helpful in the determination of hepatic and post-hepatic jaundice. Diseases of hepatic origin with
predominantly conjugated hyperbilirubinemia include acute and chronic viral hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Diseases of
post hepatic origin with predominantly conjugated hyperbilirubinemia include extrahepatic cholestasis and liver transplant rejection. Chronic
congenital conjugated hyperbilirubinemias include Dubin-Johnson and Rotor syndrome. The differentiation between chronic congenital
hyperbilirubinemias and acquired types of bilirubininemia is accomplished via the measurement of bilirubin fractions and the detection of normal
liver enzyme activities.
Test Principle3
A stabilised diazonium salt, 3,5 Dichlorophenyl diazonium tetrafluoroborate (DPD) couples directly with direct (conjugated) bilirubin in an acid
medium to form azobilirubin. The absorbance at 570 nm is proportional to the direct bilirubin concentration in the sample.
Reaction Principle
Bilirubin + DPD Azobilirubin
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
1
Serum and heparinised plasma: stable for 3 days when protected from light and stored 15…25°C.
Even slight haemolysis can cause a reduction in value and such samples should be avoided.
Lipemic samples should also be avoided.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use
statement. The paediatric application is suitable for use with small volume serum/plasma samples.
Calibration
System Calibrator Cat. No. 66300.
The calibrator value is traceable to a Beckman Coulter Master Calibrator.
Recalibrate the assay every 21 days, or when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the direct bilirubin concentration of each sample.
Reference Intervals1
Adults and Children < 3.4 µmol/L (< 0.2 mg/dL)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the
expected values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice.
For diagnostic purposes, results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other
findings.
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to interference were as follows:
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 10% up to 300 mg/dL Intralipid
In very rare cases gammopathy, especially monoclonal IgM (Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia), may cause unreliable results.

Intended Use
Photometric colour test for the quantitative determination of total bilirubin in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For
in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2
80 – 85% of bilirubin produced daily originates from haemoglobin released by the breakdown of senescent erythrocytes, the remaining
15 – 20% results from the breakdown of haem-containing proteins such as myoglobin, cytochromes, catalases and from bone marrow as a
result of ineffective erythropoiesis. A number of diseases affect one or more of the steps involved in the production, uptake, storage, metabolism
and excretion of bilirubin. Depending on the disorder unconjugated or conjugated bilirubin or both are major contributors to the resulting
hyperbilirubinemia. Hyperbilirubinemia can be classified as follows:
Prehepatic Jaundice: Diseases of prehepatic origin with predominantly unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia include corpuscular haemolytic
anemias e.g. thalassemia and sickle cell anemia; extracorpuscular haemolytic anemia e.g. blood transfusion reaction due to ABO and Rh
incompatibility; neonatal jaundice and haemolytic disease of the newborn.
Hepatic Jaundice: Diseases of hepatic origin with predominantly conjugated hyperbilirubinemia include acute and chronic viral hepatitis, liver
cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Post hepatic Jaundice: Diseases of post-hepatic origin with predominantly conjugated hyperbilirubinemia include extrahepatic cholestasis and
liver transplant rejection.
Chronic congenital hyperbilirubinemias include the unconjugated hyperbilirubinemias Crigler-Najjar syndrome and Gilbert's syndrome as well as
the conjugated hyperbilirubinemias Dubin-Johnson syndrome and Rotor syndrome. The differentiation between chronic congenital
hyperbilirubinemias and acquired types of bilirubinemia is accomplished via the measurement of bilirubin fractions and the detection of normal
liver enzyme activities.
Test Principle3
A stabilised diazonium salt, 3,5-dichlorophenyldiazonium tetrafluoroborate (DPD), reacts with conjugated bilirubin directly and with unconjugated
bilirubin in the presence of an accelerator to form azobilirubin. The absorbance at 540 nm is proportional to the total bilirubin concentration.
A separate sample blank is performed to reduce endogenous serum interference.
Reaction Principle
Caffeine
Bilirubin + DPD Azobilirubin
Surfactant
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum and EDTA or heparinised plasma. Protect samples from light.
4
Stable in serum and plasma for 7 days when stored at 2…8°C and 1 day when stored at 15…25°C.
Haemolysed samples should be avoided.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use
statement. The paediatric application is suitable for use with small volume serum/plasma samples.
Calibration
System Calibrator Cat. No. 66300.
The calibrator total bilirubin value is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Material (SRM)
916a.
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the total bilirubin concentration of each sample.
Reference Intervals5
Serum (Adults) 5 – 21 µmol/L (0.3 – 1.2 mg/dL)
Serum (Children)
0 − 1 day 24 – 149 µmol/L (1.4 – 8.7 mg/dL)
1 − 2 days 58 – 197 µmol/L (3.4 – 11.5 mg/dL)
3 − 5 days 26 – 205 µmol/L (1.5 – 12.0 mg/dL)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the
expected values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice.
For diagnostic purposes, results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other
findings.

Intended Use
Photometric colour test for the quantitative determination of total calcium in human serum, plasma and urine on Beckman Coulter analysers. For
in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1
Measurement of calcium is used in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid disease, a variety of bone diseases, chronic renal disease,
urolithiasis and tetany (intermittent muscular contractions or spasms).
Total serum calcium is composed of three fractions: free or ionised calcium, 50%; protein bound calcium most of which is bound to albumin with
only a small portion bound to globulins, 45%; and complex-bound calcium, mainly to phosphate, citrate, and bicarbonate, 5%. The ionised
calcium is physiologically most significant, but has proven difficult to assay directly. It may be estimated from total calcium given knowledge of
the protein content and pH of the blood, which strongly affect the level of ionised calcium.
Calcium ions are important in the transmission of nerve impulses, as a cofactor in several enzyme reactions, in the maintenance of normal
muscle contractility, and in the process of coagulation. A significant reduction in calcium ion concentration results in muscle tetany. A higher
than normal concentration of calcium ions produces lowered neuromuscular excitability and muscle weakness along with other more complex
symptoms.
Test Principle2,3
Calcium ions react with o-Cresolphthalein-complexone in an alkaline medium to form a purple coloured complex. In this method the absorbance
of the Ca-oCPC complex is measured bichromatically at 570/660 nm. The resulting increase in absorbance of the reaction mixture is directly
proportional to the calcium concentration in the sample.

2+
This Calcium procedure is based on calcium ions (Ca ) reacting with Arsenazo III (2,2’-[1,8-Dihydroxy-3,6-disulphonaphthylene-2,7-bisazo]-
bisbenzenearsonic acid) to form an intense purple coloured complex. In this method the absorbance of the Ca-Arsenazo III complex is measured
bichromatically at 660/700 nm. The resulting increase in absorbance of the reaction mixture is directly proportional to the calcium concentration in the
sample.
Magnesium does not significantly interfere in calcium determination using Arsenazo III.

CHOLESTEROL
OSR6116 4 x 22.5 mL R1
OSR6216 4x 45 mL R1
*OSR6516 4 x 107 mL R1
Intended Use
Enzymatic colour test for the quantitative determination of cholesterol in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro diagnostic
use only.
*Cholesterol reagent OSR6516 for use on the AU2700 and AU5400 systems only.
Summary1
Cholesterol is synthesised ubiquitously throughout the body and is an essential component of cell membranes and lipoproteins as well as being a
precursor for the synthesis of steroid hormones and bile acids.
The individual predictive value of total cholesterol concentration with regard to coronary risk is low. Cholesterol is mainly transported in two lipoprotein
classes (LDL and HDL), both of which play a contradictory role in the pathogenesis of lipid disorders. The total cholesterol concentration therefore provides
only a baseline value that indicates whether further laboratory investigations of lipoprotein metabolism should be carried out (HDL, LDL, and triglycerides).
Test Principle2
The Cholesterol reagent utilises an enzymatic method to measure cholesterol in human serum and plasma. In this procedure cholesterol esters in a
sample are hydrolysed by cholesterol esterase (CHE). The free cholesterol produced is oxidised by cholesterol oxidase (CHO) to cholestene-3-one with
the simultaneous production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which oxidatively couples with 4-aminoantipyrine and phenol in the presence of peroxidase
(POD) to yield a chromophore.
The red quinoneimine dye formed can be measured spectrophotometrically at 540/600 nm as an increase in absorbance.
Reaction Principle
CHE
2 Cholesterol esters + 2 H2O 2 Cholesterol + 2 Fatty acids
CHO
2 Cholesterol + 2 O2 2 Cholestene-3-one + 2 H2O2
POD
2 H2O2 + 4-Aminoantipyrine + Phenol Quinoneimine + 4 H2O
Reagent Preparation
The reagent is ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen3
Serum and EDTA or heparinised plasma. Icteric samples should be avoided.
Plasma is not recommended using anticoagulants such as oxalate, citrate or fluoride.
Cholesterol in serum is stable for 5-7 days when stored at 2...8 °C.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
Calibration
System Calibrator Cat. No. 66300.
The calibrator cholesterol value is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Material (SRM) 909b
4
Level 1 (Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry). This method is also certified against the Centers of Disease Control Reference Method (Abell-Kendall).
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot number or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the cholesterol concentration of each sample.
5
Total cholesterol levels in plasma should be corrected by multiplying the result obtained by 1.03 to be equivalent to serum levels of total cholesterol.
Reference Intervals
6
National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III recommendations:
< 5.2 mmol/L (200 mg/dL) Desirable
5.2 – 6.2 mmol/L (200 – 239 mg/dL) Borderline High
≥ 6.2 mmol/L (240 mg/dL) High
7
European Atherosclerosis Society recommendations:
Cholesterol < 5.2 mmol/L (< 200 mg/dL) No Lipid metabolism disorder
Triglyceride < 2.3 mmol/L (< 200 mg/dL)
Cholesterol 5.2 – 7.8 mmol/L (200 – 300 mg/dL) Lipid metabolism disorder if HDL-Cholesterol is < 0.9 mmol/L (< 35 mg/dL)
Cholesterol > 7.8 mmol/L (> 300 mg/dL) Lipid metabolism disorder.
Triglyceride > 2.3 mmol/L (> 200mg/dL)
National and regional guidelines for interpretation and treatment may differ from the above recommendations. Please follow the guidelines which are
applicable to your population.
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to interference were as follows:
Ascorbate: Interference less than 10% up to 8 mg/dL ascorbate
Icterus: Interference less than 10% up to 8 mg/dL or 137 µmol/L bilirubin
Haemolysis: Interference less than 10% up to 5 g/L haemoglobin

CREATININE
OSR6178 4 x 51 mL R1
4 x 51 mL R2
OSR6578 4 x 103 mL R1
4 x 103 mL R2
Intended Use
Kinetic colour test (Jaffé method) for the quantitative determination of creatinine in human serum, plasma and urine on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in
vitro diagnostic use only.
Creatinine reagent OSR6578 for use on the AU2700 and AU5400 systems only.
Summary1,2,3
Creatinine is a metabolic product of creatine and phosphocreatine, which are both found almost exclusively in muscle. Thus, creatinine production is
proportional to muscle mass and varies little from day to day.
Measurements of creatinine are used in the diagnosis and treatment of renal disease and prove useful in the evaluation of kidney glomerular function and
in monitoring renal dialysis. However, the serum level is not sensitive to early renal damage and responds more slowly than blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to
haemodialysis during treatment of renal failure. Both serum creatinine and BUN are used to differentiate prerenal and postrenal (obstructive) azotemia. An
increase in serum BUN without concomitant increase of serum creatinine is key to identifying prerenal azotemia. In post renal conditions where obstruction
to the flow of urine is present e.g. malignancy, nephrolithiasis and prostatism, both the plasma creatinine and urea levels will be increased; in these
situations the rise is disproportionately greater for BUN due to the increased back diffusion of urea.
Serum creatinine varies with the subject’s age, body weight, and sex. It is sometimes low in subjects with relatively small muscle mass, cachectic patients,
amputees, and in older persons. A serum creatinine level that would usually be considered normal does not rule out the presence of impaired renal
function.
Test Principle4,5,6
Creatinine forms a yellow-orange coloured compound with picric acid in an alkaline medium. The rate of change in absorbance at 520/800 nm is
proportional to the creatinine concentration in the sample.
Reaction Principle
Creatinine + picric acid Creatinine picrate complex
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum and EDTA or heparinised plasma.
7
Stable in serum and plasma for 7 days when stored at 2…25°C.
Strongly lipemic samples should be avoided.
8
Urine: Collect urine without using preservatives. Store at 2...8°C.
Test Procedure
Two distinct test procedures are available for this reagent:
A: Interference from protein is mathematically corrected by subtracting 18 µmol/L from each test result (Specific Test Parameters: Correlation
factor B = -18).
B: Uncompensated Jaffe (no protein compensation, B = 0)
Both methods require different calibrator set points and deliver slightly different results for patients and control sera at low creatinine concentrations which
results in different reference ranges.
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
The paediatric application is suitable for use with small volume serum/plasma samples.
Calibration
Use System Calibrator Cat. No. 66300 for serum and plasma application and Urine Calibrator Cat. No. ODC0025 for urine application.
Quality Control
Controls Cat. No. ODC0003 and ODC0004 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used for the
serum/plasma application.
Biorad Liquichek Urine Chemistry Controls Cat. No. 397 and 398 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may
be used for the urine application.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the creatinine concentration of each sample.

Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Patient serum samples were used to compare this Creatinine OSR6178 assay (method A) on the AU2700 against a commercially available enzymatic
creatinine assay which has demonstrated equivalence to the IDMS reference method. Results of linear regression analysis were as follows:
y = 1.01x + 2.8 r = 0.997 n = 701 Sample range = 13.3 – 1007 µmol/L

CREATININE (ENZYMATIC)
OSR61204 4 x 45 mL R1
4 x 15 mL R2
Intended Use
Enzymatic assay for the quantitative determination of creatinine in human serum, plasma and urine on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro diagnostic
use only.
Summary1,2,3
Creatinine is a metabolic product of creatine and phosphocreatine, which are both found almost exclusively in muscle. Thus, creatinine production is
proportional to muscle mass and varies little from day to day.
Measurements of creatinine are used in the diagnosis and treatment of renal disease and prove useful in the evaluation of kidney glomerular function and
in monitoring renal dialysis. However, the serum level is not sensitive to early renal damage and responds more slowly than blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to
haemodialysis during treatment of renal failure. Both serum creatinine and BUN are used to differentiate prerenal and postrenal (obstructive) azotemia. An
increase in serum BUN without concomitant increase of serum creatinine is key to identifying prerenal azotemia. In post renal conditions where obstruction
to the flow of urine is present e.g. malignancy, nephrolithiasis and prostatism, both the plasma creatinine and urea levels will be increased; in these
situations the rise is disproportionately greater for BUN due to the increased back diffusion of urea.
Serum creatinine varies with the subject’s age, body weight, race and sex. It is sometimes low in subjects with relatively small muscle mass, cachectic
patients, amputees, and in older persons. A serum creatinine level that would usually be considered normal does not rule out the presence of impaired
renal function.
Test Principle
Creatinine is hydrolysed by creatininase to creatine. The creatine formed is hydrolysed by creatinase to sarcosine and urea. Sarcosine oxidase catalyzes
the oxidative demethylation of the sarcosine to yield glycine, formaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide. In the presence of peroxidase (POD), the hydrogen
peroxide formed reacts by quantitative oxidation condensation with N-(3-sulfopropyl)-3-methoxy-5-methylaniline (HMMPS) and 4-aminoantipyrine to yield a
blue pigment. The creatinine concentration is proportional to the change in absorbance at 600/700 nm.
Reaction Principle
Creatininase
Creatinine + H2O Creatine
Creatinase
Creatine + H2O Sarcosine + Urea
Sarcosine Oxidase
Sarcosine + H2O + O2 Glycine + Formaldehyde + H2O2
POD
H2O2 + 4-aminoantipyrine + HMMPS Blue Pigment
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum and heparinised plasma.
4
Stable in serum and plasma for 7 days when stored at 2…25°C.
5
Urine: Collect urine without using preservatives. Store at 2…8°C.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use Statement.
Quality Control
Controls Cat. No. ODC0003 and ODC0004 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used for the
serum/plasma application.
Biorad Liquichek Urine Chemistry Controls Cat. No. 397 and 398 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may
be used for the urine application.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the creatinine concentration of each sample.

Serum/Plasma
Male 64 – 104 µmol/L (0.72 – 1.18 mg/dL)
Female 49 –90 µmol/L (0.55 – 1.02 mg/dL)
Neonate 22 – 90 µmol/L (0.26 – 1.01 mg/dL)
Infant (2 months – < 3 years) 11 – 34 µmol/L (0.15 – 0.37 mg/dL)
Child (3 – < 15 years) 21 – 65 µmol/L (0.24 – 0.73 mg/dL)
7
Urine
Male 124 – 230 µmol/kg/day (14 – 26 mg/kg/day)
Female 97 – 177 µmol/kg/day (11 – 20 mg/kg/day)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Method Comparison
Patient serum samples were used to compare this Creatinine (Enzymatic) OSR61204 assay on the AU2700 against another commercially available
enzymatic creatinine assay. Results of linear regression analysis were as follows:
y = 1.014x + 1.768 r = 1.000 n = 237 Sample range = 12.4 – 1966 µmol/L
Patient urine samples were used to compare this Creatinine (Enzymatic) OSR61204 assay on the AU2700 against another commercially available IDMS
traceable creatinine assay. Results of linear regression analysis were as follows:
y = 0.986x - 104.577 r = 0.997 n = 151 Sample range = 707 – 19793 µmol/L
Interfering Substances
Results of serum studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to interference were as follows:
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 10% up to 1000 mg/dL Intralipid.
Icterus: Interference less than 7% up to 40 mg/dL or 684 µmol/L bilirubin
Haemolysis: Interference less than 5% up to 5 g/L haemoglobin

Summary1,2,3
In the fasting state, blood sugar levels are regulated by the liver, which ensures that levels are maintained within precise limits. The rapid and
precise manner in which fasting blood sugar levels are regulated is in marked contrast to the rapid increase in blood sugar, which occurs during
ingestion of carbohydrates. A fall in blood glucose to a critical level (approximately 2.5 mM) leads to dysfunction of the central nervous system.
This manifests as hypoglycaemia, and is characterised by muscle weakness, lack of coordination and mental confusion. Further decrease in
blood glucose levels leads to hypoglycaemic coma. Blood glucose concentrations show intra-individual fluctuations, which are dependent on
muscular activity and the time interval since food intake. These fluctuations are increased further where there is dysregulation, such as occurs in
a number of pathological conditions in which blood glucose may be elevated (hyperglycaemia) or depressed (hypoglycaemia). Hyperglycaemia
most commonly occurs as a result of a deficiency in either the amount or efficiency of insulin, a condition known as diabetes mellitus. This
disease is characterised by the elevation of blood glucose to such an extent that the renal threshold is exceeded and sugar appears in the urine
(glycosuria). Blood glucose measurement is used as a screening test for diabetes mellitus, where there is suspected hyperglycaemia,
monitoring of therapy in diabetes mellitus, evaluation of carbohydrate metabolism, for example in gestational diabetes acute hepatitis, acute
pancreatitis and Addison’s disease. Hypoglycaemia is associated with a range of pathological conditions including neonatal respiratory distress
syndrome, toxaemia of pregnancy, congenital enzyme defects, Reye’s syndrome, alcohol ingestion, hepatic dysfunction, insulin-producing
pancreatic tumours (insulinomas), insulin antibodies, nonpancreatic neoplasms, septicaemia and chronic renal failure.
CSF glucose may be low or undetectable in patients with acute bacterial, cryptococcal, tubular or carcinomatous meningitis, or in cerebral
abscess, probably due to consumption of glucose by leucocytes or other rapidly metabolising cells. In meningitis or encephalitis due to viral
infections, it is usually normal.
Test Principle4
Glucose is phosphorylated by hexokinase (HK) in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and magnesium ions to produce glucose-6-
phosphate and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6P-DH) specifically oxidises glucose-6-phosphate to
+
gluconate-6-phosphate with the concurrent reduction of NAD to NADH. The increase in absorbance at 340nm is proportional to the glucose
concentration in the sample.
Reaction principle
HK, Mg2+
Glucose + ATP Glucose-6-phosphate + ADP
G6P-DH
+ +
Glucose-6-Phosphate + NAD Gluconate-6-P + NADH + H

Precautions and Warnings
Exercise the normal precautions required for handling all laboratory reagents.
To avoid the possible build-up of azide compounds, flush waste-pipes with water after the disposal of undiluted reagent.
Dispose of all waste material in accordance with local guidelines.
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Storage and Stability
The reagents are stable, unopened, up to the stated expiry date when stored at 2…8°C. Once open, reagents stored on board the instrument
are stable for 30 days.
Specimen
5,6
Serum, EDTA or heparinised plasma. To minimise loss of glucose through glycolysis serum should be removed from red cells as soon as
possible. Specimens that cannot be rapidly separated should be collected into tubes containing fluoride, monoiodoacetate or mannose. Glucose
in stabilised haemolysate and plasma is stable for up to 7 days when stored at 2…8°C and 2 days when stored at 15...25°C. Icteric and strongly
lipemic samples should be avoided.
7
Urine: Fresh, random collections are recommended for urine specimens. Stable in urine for 2 hours when stored at 2…25°C. Analyse as soon
5
as possible.
7
Cerebrospinal fluid: Process immediately to avoid falsely low results.

Summary1,2
In the fasting state, blood sugar levels are regulated by the liver, which ensures that levels are maintained within precise limits. The rapid and
precise manner in which fasting blood sugar levels are regulated is in marked contrast to the rapid increase in blood sugar, which occurs during
ingestion of carbohydrates. A fall in blood glucose to a critical level (approximately 2.5 mM) leads to dysfunction of the central nervous system.
This manifests as hypoglycaemia, and is characterised by muscle weakness, lack of coordination and mental confusion. Further decrease in
blood glucose levels leads to hypoglycaemic coma. Blood glucose concentrations show intra-individual fluctuations, which are dependent on
muscular activity and the time interval since food intake. These fluctuations are increased further where there is dysregulation, such as occurs in
a number of pathological conditions in which blood glucose may be elevated (hyperglycaemia) or depressed (hypoglycaemia). Hyperglycaemia
most commonly occurs as a result of a deficiency in either the amount or efficiency of insulin, a condition known as diabetes mellitus. This
disease is characterised by the elevation of blood glucose to such an extent that the renal threshold is exceeded and sugar appears in the urine
(glycosuria). Blood glucose measurement is used as a screening test for diabetes mellitus, where there is suspected hyperglycaemia,
monitoring of therapy in diabetes mellitus, evaluation of carbohydrate metabolism, for example in gestational diabetes acute hepatitis, acute
pancreatitis and Addison’s disease. Hypoglycaemia is associated with a range of pathological conditions including neonatal respiratory distress
syndrome, toxaemia of pregnancy, congenital enzyme defects, Reye’s syndrome, alcohol ingestion, hepatic dysfunction, insulin-producing
pancreatic tumours (insulinomas), insulin antibodies, nonpancreatic neoplasms, septicaemia and chronic renal failure.
Test Principle3
Glucose is phosphorylated by hexokinase (HK) in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and magnesium ions to produce glucose-6-
phosphate and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6P-DH) specifically oxidises glucose-6-phosphate to
+
gluconate-6-phosphate with the concurrent reduction of NAD to NADH. The increase in absorbance at 340nm is proportional to the glucose
concentration in the sample.

Intended Use
Enzymatic colour test for the quantitative determination of HDL-cholesterol in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro
diagnostic use only.
HDL-Cholesterol reagent OSR6587 for use on the AU2700 and AU5400 systems only.
Summary1
Approximately 25% of total serum cholesterol is transported in the HDL fraction. Numerous clinical and epidemiological studies have demonstrated a
strong inverse association between HDL-cholesterol and the incidence of coronary heart disease. It has been proposed that the uptake and transport of
cholesterol from peripheral tissue to the liver acts as a protective factor against the development of atherosclerotic plaques. Determination of
HDL-cholesterol is therefore essential for the interpretation of individual cholesterol determinations. Low HDL-cholesterol is a risk factor independent of total
cholesterol concentration and is highly predictive of the risk of coronary heart disease. Measurement of HDL-cholesterol is used in the early recognition of
atherosclerosis risk, and may also be used in the monitoring of individuals during treatment with lipid lowering drugs.
Test Principle
Anti human-β-lipoprotein antibody in R1 binds to lipoproteins other than HDL (LDL, VLDL and chylomicrons). The antigen-antibody complexes formed
block enzyme reactions when R2 is added. HDL-cholesterol is quantified by the presence of an enzyme chromogen system.

Precautions and Warnings
Exercise the normal precautions required for handling all laboratory reagents.
Dispose of all waste material in accordance with local guidelines.
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Storage and Stability
The reagents are stable, protected from light, unopened, up to the stated expiry date when stored at 2…8°C. Once open, reagents stored on board the
instrument are stable for 30 days.
The colour of R2 may turn to light green when stored on board the analyser. This does not affect the performance of the reagent.
Specimen
2
Serum and heparinised plasma (fasting and non-fasting): Stable for 7 days when stored at 2…8°C and 2 days when stored at 15…25°C.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User’s Guide and the accompanying Instrument Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions.
Calibration
HDL-Cholesterol Calibrator ODC0011.
The calibrator is traceable to the US CDC (Centre for Disease Control) HDL-cholesterol reference method.
Recalibrate the assay every 30 days and perform reagent blank every 7 days, or when the following occur:
Change in reagent bottle or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Quality Control
HDL/LDL-Cholesterol Control Serum ODC0005 or other control materials with values determined by this method may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
EN.01 BLOSR6x87.01 Metabolite
2009-08
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the HDL-cholesterol concentration of each sample.
National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) guidelines3
< 1.03 mmol/L (< 40 mg/dL) Low HDL-cholesterol (major risk factor for coronary heart disease)
≥ 1.55 mmol/L (≥ 60 mg/dL) High HDL-cholesterol (“negative” risk factor for coronary heart disease)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Specific performance characteristics
Data contained within this section is representative of performance on Beckman Coulter systems. Data obtained in your laboratory may differ from these
values.
Linearity
The test is linear within a concentration range of 0.05 - 4.65 mmol/L (2 -180 mg/dL).
Precision
The following data was obtained on an AU640 using 3 serum pools analysed over 10 days.
n = 60 Within Run Total
Mean mmol/L SD CV% SD CV%
0.69 0.006 0.85 0.013 1.92
1.09 0.007 0.62 0.018 1.69
2.08 0.013 0.61 0.027 1.32
Sensitivity
The lowest detectable level on an AU640 analyser was calculated as 0.002 mmol/L.
The lowest detectable level represents the lowest measurable level of HDL-cholesterol that can be distinguished from zero. It is calculated as the absolute
mean plus three standard deviations of 20 replicates of an analyte free sample.
Method Comparison
Patient serum samples were used to compare this HDL-Cholesterol OSR6187 assay on the AU640 against another commercially available
HDL-cholesterol assay. Results of linear regression analysis were as follows:
y = 1.212x + 0.080 r = 0.993 n = 200 Sample range = 0.31 – 2.54 mmol/L
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to interference were as follows:
Ascorbate: Interference less than 3% up to 20 mg/dL ascorbate
Bilirubin: Interference less than 3% up to 40 mg/dL or 684 µmol/L bilirubin
Haemolysis: Interference less than 3% up to 5 g/L haemoglobin
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 10% up to 900 mg/dL *Intralipid
* No significant interference was observed from samples containing native triglycerides up to 11.3 mmol/L (1000 mg/dL), however there is poor correlation
between lipemia and triglyceride concentration – see limitations section.
4
Refer to Young for further information on interfering substances.
Limitations
When triglyceride in a sample exceeds 11.3 mmol/L (1000 mg/dL), dilute the sample with a saline solution, repeat assay and multiply result by dilution
factor.

INORGANIC PHOSPHOROUS
OSR6122 4 x 15 mL R1
4 x 15 mL R2
OSR6222 4 x 40 mL R1
4 x 40 mL R2
Intended Use
Photometric UV test for the quantitative determination of inorganic phosphorous in human serum, plasma and urine on Beckman Coulter
analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2,3,4
In plasma and serum the majority of phosphate exists in the inorganic form (Pi), approximately 15% bound to protein and the remainder in
complexed and free forms. Serum phosphate concentrations are dependent on diet and variation in the secretion of hormones such as PTH.
Intracellularly phosphate occurs primarily as organic phosphate however a small but extremely important fraction exists as inorganic phosphate
which, because it is a substrate for oxidative phosphorylation, participates in reactions concerned with generation of metabolic energy. About
85% of extracellular phosphate occurs in the Pi form as hydroxyapatite thereby playing an important role in bone structure.
Hypophosphataemia (phosphate depletion) is relatively common in hospitalised patients and is found in up to 30% of surgical patients.
Hypophosphataemia is caused by a decreased intake or absorption of phosphate such as occurs in Vit D deficiency, malabsorption, use of oral
phosphate binders and primary PTH excess; increased excretion such as occurs in secondary PTH excess, post renal transplant and re-feeding
starved patients; and from redistribution of phosphate e.g. hyperalimentation, recovery from diabetic ketoacidosis and respitatory alkalosis.
Hyperphosphataemia is caused by increased intake such as occurs in intravenous therapy and phosphate enemas; reduced excretion such as
occurs in acute and chronic renal failure, low PTH or resistance to PTH and vitamin D toxicity; and redistribution of phosphate that occurs in
tumour lysis, rhabdomyolysis and heat stroke.
Test Principle5,6
Inorganic phosphorous reacts with molybdate to form a heteropolyacid complex. The use of a surfactant eliminates the need to prepare a
protein free filtrate. The absorbance at 340/380 nm is directly proportional to the inorganic phosphorous concentration in the sample.
Reaction principle
6- +
7 H3PO4 + 12 (Mo7O24) + 72 H 7 H3PO4(MoO3)12 + 36 H2O
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
7
Serum and heparinised plasma: Stable in serum for 4 days when stored at 2…8°C and 1 day when stored at 15…25°C.
Strongly haemolysed samples should be avoided.
8
Urine: Acidified with 6M HCl. Collect timed 24-hour specimen using standard laboratory procedures. Store at 2...8°C.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use
statement.
Calibration
Use System Calibrator Cat. No. 66300 for serum application and Urine Calibrator Cat. No. ODC0025 for urine application.
The inorganic phosphorous values of both calibrators are traceable to a Beckman Coulter Master Calibrator.
Recalibrate the assay every 30 days, or when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the inorganic phosphorous concentration of each sample.
Reference Intervals2
Serum Adults 0.81 – 1.45 mmol/L (2.5 – 4.5 mg/dL)
Children 1.29 – 2.26 mmol/L (4.0 – 7.0 mg/dL)
Urine On non-restricted diet 12.9 – 42.0 mmol/d (0.4 – 1.3 g/day)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the
expected values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For
diagnostic purposes, results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other
findings.

Intended Use
Photometric colour test for the quantitative determination of iron in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use
only.
Summary1,2,3
Iron participates in a variety of vital processes in the body varying from cellular oxidative mechanisms to the transport and delivery of oxygen to body cells.
It is a constituent of the oxygen-carrying chromoproteins, haemoglobin and myoglobin, as well as various enzymes, such as cytochrome oxidase and
peroxidases. The remaining body iron is present in the flavoproteins, the iron-sulphur proteins, as well as storage iron-ferritin and transport iron-transferrin.
Measured serum iron concentration is principally the Fe (III) bound to serum transferrin and does not include the iron contained in serum as free
haemoglobin.
Serum iron concentration is decreased in many but not all patients with iron deficiency anemia; in acute or chronic inflammatory disorders such as acute
infection, immunisation, and myocardial infarction; acute or recent haemorrhage; malignancy; kwashiorkor; late pregnancy; menstruation and nephrosis.
Serum iron concentration diminishes markedly in patients who are beginning to respond to specific therapy for anemias of other causes e.g. treatment of
pernicious anemia with Vit B12. Greater than normal concentrations of serum iron occur in iron-overload disorders such as haemochromatosis and in acute
iron poisoning following oral or parenteral iron administration. Iron levels may also be increased in acute hepatitis, lead poisoning, acute leukemia,
thalassemia or oral contraception.
Test Principle4,5,6
The method utilises TPTZ [2,4,6-Tri-(2-pyridyl)-5-triazine] as the chromogen. In an acidic medium, transferrin-bound iron dissociates into free ferric ions and
apo-transferrin. Hydrochloric acid and sodium ascorbate reduce the ferric ions to the ferrous state. The ferrous ions then react with TPTZ to form a blue
coloured complex which can be measured bichromatically at 600/800 nm. The increase in absorbance is directly proportional to the amount of iron present.

LACTATE
OSR6193 4 x 10 mL R1 Buffer
4x R1 Lyo
Intended Use
Enzymatic colour test for the quantitative determination of L-Lactate in human plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on Beckman Coulter analysers. For
in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2,3
L-lactate is the end product of anaerobic glycolysis. It is derived predominantly from white skeletal muscle, brain, skin, renal medulla and erythrocytes.
Lactate dehydrogenase catalyses the reduction of pyruvate to lactate. There are two major clinical settings in which lactic acidosis occurs (1) conditions
associated with hypoxia eg. shock, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, blood loss and pulmonary oedema (2) metabolic or drug/toxin related
disorders. Examples of metabolic disorders include diabetes mellitus, hepatic disease and neoplasia. Congenital metabolic disorders include type I
glycogen storage disease. Examples of drugs/toxins which give rise to elevated lactate are methanol, ethanol, epinephrine and acetaminophen.
Lactate levels in CSF will generally mirror those in blood/plasma. However, increased lactate levels in CSF in the absence of increased blood/plasma
lactate concentration have been reported in cases of bacterial meningitis, cerebral hypoxia, ischemia and in certain inborn errors of metabolism
eg. pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency, mitochondrial myopathies and biotinidase deficiency.
Test Principle4,5
L-lactate is oxidised to pyruvate and hydrogen peroxide by lactate oxidase (LOD). A coloured product is produced by the reaction of peroxidase (POD),
hydrogen peroxide, 4 -aminoantipyrine and a hydrogen donor (TOOS). The coloured product is measured photometrically. The colour intensity is
proportional to the concentration of lactate in the sample.
Reaction Principle
LOD
L-Lactate + O2 Pyruvate + H2O2
POD
H2O2 + 4–AA + H donor Chromogen + 2H2O
Reagent Preparation
R1: Dissolve the contents of one vial of R1 Lyo completely with the contents of one vial of R1 buffer. Mix gently by inversion and place on board the
instrument.
A slight pink colouration of the working reagent will not influence performance. The reagent can still be used providing the reagent blank is within
specification.
Specimen1,6,7,8,9
Plasma or cerebrospinal fluid. Do not use serum.
Plasma: Use plasma from blood collected into sodium fluoride-potassium oxalate tubes.
Sample Stability: Stable for 14 days when stored at 2…8°C and 8 hours when stored at 15…25°C.
Glycolysis resulting from physical exercise gives rise to an increased lactate concentration in the bloodstream. Therefore, the patient should be at rest
before taking the sample. In particular, movement of the hand or arm should be avoided. Keep the sample on ice and separate plasma from cells within
15 minutes of collection. Analyse the sample immediately. Note whether the sample is venous or arterial. Icteric and haemolysed samples should be
avoided.
Cerebrospinal Fluid: CSF collected into plain collection devices or sodium fluoride/potassium oxalate tubes.
Sample Stability: Analyse fresh otherwise stable stored at 2…8°C for up to 24 hours.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
Calibration
System Calibrator Cat. No. 66300.
The calibrator is traceable to a primary standard which is gravimetrically prepared using reagent grade L-lactate. Recalibrate the assay every 30 days or
when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the lactate concentration of each sample.

Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to interference using an artificially manufactured matrix were as follows:
Icterus: Interference less than 10% up to 16 mg/dL or 274 µmol/L bilirubin
Haemolysis: Interference less than 5% up to 5 g/L haemoglobin
Ascorbate: Interference less than 10% up to 10 mg/dL ascorbate
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 3% up to 1000 mg/dL Intralipid
10
Refer to Young for further information on interfering substances.
Limitations11
Ascorbate interference may be observed at concentrations greater than 10 mg/dL, although ascorbate is generally cleared via urinary excretion within
4 hours of ingestion. Plasma ascorbate concentrations at tissue saturation are reported to be 1 – 1.5 mg/dL. Studies conducted at Beckman Coulter show
that there is no observed interference from ascorbate at this concentration.

OSR6283 4 x 51.3 mL R1
4 x 17.1 mL R2
Intended Use
Enzymatic colour test for the quantitative determination of LDL-cholesterol in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro
diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2,3
LDL-cholesterol (LDL C) constitutes the largest portion of the LDL molecule, formed via the action of lipoprotein lipase on VLDL. LDL-cholesterol plays a
causal role in the development of coronary heart disease (CHD), with numerous clinical and epidemiological studies demonstrating its atherogenic
properties. LDL-cholesterol has the strongest association with coronary mortality of all lipid and lipoprotein variables (GRIPS study), with a combination of
raised LDL-cholesterol and elevated triglyceride levels constituting an especially high risk. LDL-cholesterol evaluation provides early recognition of
atherosclerosis risk and may be used to determine the response to lipid-lowering drug therapy.
High levels of LDL-cholesterol are associated with increased cardiovascular risk and familial hyperlipidaemia. Reduced levels of LDL-cholesterol may be
found in malabsorption and malnutrition.
In 1988 the National cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel (NCEP-ATP) developed recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of
patients with hypercholesterolemia. These recommendations defined LDL-cholesterol as the primary target of therapy.
The 2001 update of these guidelines (NCEP-ATP III) put further emphasis on better risk identification and more aggressive cholesterol-lowering treatment.
Test Principle4
A protecting agent in R1 protects LDL from enzymatic reactions. All non-LDL lipoproteins (HDL, VLDL, CM) are broken down by reaction with cholesterol
esterase (CHE) and cholesterol oxidase (CHO). Hydrogen peroxide (POD) produced by this reaction is decomposed by catalase in R1.
When R2 is added, the protecting reagent is released from LDL and catalase inactivated by sodium azide. LDL can now be quantified by the CHO/PAP
system.

MAGNESIUM
OSR6189 4 x 40 mL R1
Intended Use
Photometric colour test for the quantitative determination of magnesium in human serum, plasma and urine on Beckman Coulter analysers. For
in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2
Magnesium is an essential factor in many important enzymatic reactions, either as an integral part of a metalloenzyme or as an activator, and
plays an important role in glycolysis, cellular respiration and transmembranous calcium transport. Magnesium is mainly regulated by the rate of
renal magnesium excretion, which along with calcium is subject to the effects of parathyroid hormone. Increasing calcium reabsorption thus
leads to competitive inhibition of magnesium absorption.
Magnesium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of hypomagnesemia (abnormally low) and hypermagnesemia (abnormally
high). The best-defined manifestation of magnesium deficiency is impairment of neuromuscular function e.g. hyperirritability, tetany,
convulsions, and electrocardiographic changes. Hypomagnesemia is observed in cases of diabetes, chronic alcoholism, forced diuresis,
hyperthyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, hypocalcemia, malabsorption and acute pancreatitis. Increased serum magnesium levels have been
found in cases of renal failure, dehydration, severe diabetic acidosis and Addison’s Disease.
Test Principle3,4,5
The Magnesium reagent utilises a direct method in which magnesium ions form a coloured complex with xylidyl blue in a strongly basic solution.
The colour produced is measured bichromatically at 520/800 nm and is proportional to the magnesium concentration in the sample. Calcium
interference is eliminated by glycoletherdiamine-N,N,N`,N`-tetraacetic acid (GEDTA).

4 x 48 mL R2
Intended Use
Photometric colour test for the quantitative determination of total protein in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro
diagnostic use only.
Summary1
The total serum protein is the sum of all circulating proteins and is a major component of blood. Measurements of total protein are used in the
diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases involving the liver, kidney, or bone marrow as well as other metabolic and nutritional disorders.
A deviation of serum total protein from the reference interval indicates the presence of dysproteinemia or a disorder in water balance. Both
conditions can be distinguished by additional performance of serum protein electrophoresis and the determination of haematocrit.
It is also useful in interpreting the significance of the total protein concentration to have more specific knowledge of individual fractions such as
albumins and globulins.
Test Principle2
Cupric ions in an alkaline solution react with proteins and polypeptides containing at least two peptide bonds to produce a violet coloured
complex. The absorbance of the complex at 540/660 nm is directly proportional to the concentration of protein in the sample.

4 x 12.5 mL R2
Intended Use
Enzymatic colour test for the quantitative determination of triglyceride in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro
diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2
Measurements of triglyceride are used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with acute and chronic pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus,
nephrosis, extrahepatic biliary obstruction, and other diseases involving lipid metabolism, or various endocrine disorders.
Clinically, triglyceride assays are used to help classify various genetic and metabolic lipoprotein disorders, and in the assessment of risk factors
for atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease.
Test Principle3,4,5
This Triglyceride procedure is based on a series of coupled enzymatic reactions. The triglycerides in the sample are hydrolysed by a
combination of microbial lipases to give glycerol and fatty acids. The glycerol is phosphorylated by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the
presence of glycerol kinase (GK) to produce glycerol-3-phosphate. The glycerol-3-phosphate is oxidised by molecular oxygen in the presence of
GPO (glycerol phosphate oxidase) to produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. The formed H2O2 reacts with
4-aminophenazone and N,N-bis(4-sulfobutyl)-3,5-dimethylaniline, disodium salt (MADB) in the presence of peroxidase (POD) to produce a
chromophore, which is read at 660/800nm. The increase in absorbance at 660/800nm is proportional to the triglyceride content of the sample.

4 x 2 mL R2a
Intended Use
Photometric colour test for the quantitative determination of unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC) in human serum and plasma on Beckman
Coulter analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2,3
Iron participates in a variety of vital processes in the body varying from cellular oxidative mechanisms to the transport and delivery of oxygen to
body cells. It is a constituent of the oxygen-carrying chromoproteins, haemoglobin and myoglobin, as well as various enzymes, such as
cytochrome oxidase and peroxidases. The remaining body iron is present in the flavoproteins, the iron-sulphur proteins, as well as storage iron-
ferritin, and transport iron-transferrin.
Measured serum iron concentration is principally the Fe(III) bound to serum transferrin and does not include the iron contained in serum as free
haemoglobin. Since normally only about one-third of the iron-binding sites of transferrin are occupied by Fe(III), serum transferrin has
considerable reserve iron-binding capacity. This is called the serum unsaturated or latent iron-binding capacity. UIBC measurements can be
used in conjunction with serum iron concentration to obtain the total-iron binding capacity (TIBC) i.e. the maximum concentration of iron that
serum proteins, principally transferrin, can bind.
TIBC is decreased in chronic infections, malignancy, in iron poisoning, renal disease, nephrosis, kwashiorkor and thalassemia. Common causes
for an increase in TIBC include iron deficiency anemia, late pregnancy, oral contraception and viral hepatitis.
Test Principle
2+
Fe from reagent 1 reacts with Nitroso-PSAP from reagent 2 to form an intense green complex. If sample is added a part or all of the iron ions
bind specifically with transferrin at unsaturated iron binding sites at alkaline pH. They are thus not available for the colour reaction with Nitroso-
PSAP. The difference between the resulting changes in the measured absorbances with or without samples is equivalent to the iron quantity
bound to transferrin. This is the unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC).
Reagent Preparation
R1: The entire contents of bottle R1a must be transferred into the entire volume of R1. Mix by gentle inversion before placing on board the instrument.
R2: The entire contents of bottle R2a must be transferred into the entire volume of R2. Mix by gentle inversion before placing on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum and heparinised plasma. Do not use EDTA, oxalate or citrate plasma.
4
Stable in serum and plasma for 3 weeks when stored at 2…8°C and 7 days when stored at 15…25°C.
Haemolysed samples should be avoided. Remove serum from red cells immediately to avoid haemolysis.
5
Samples should be taken in the morning from patients in a fasting state, since iron values can decrease by 30% during the course of the day.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User’s Guide and the accompanying Instrument Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions.
Calibration
System Calibrator Cat. No. 66300.
The calibrator value is traceable to a Beckman Coulter Master Calibrator.
Recalibrate the assay every 14 days, or when the following occur:
Change in reagent bottle or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the UIBC concentration of each sample.
Reference Intervals6
Adults 27.8 – 53.7 µmol/L (155 – 300 µg/dL)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the
expected values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For
diagnostic purposes, results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other
findings.

UIBC
OSR61205 4 x 27 mL R1
4 x 3 mL R1a
4 x 6 mL R2
4 x 2 mL R2a
Intended Use
Photometric colour test for the quantitative determination of unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC) in human serum and plasma on Beckman
Coulter analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2,3
Iron participates in a variety of vital processes in the body varying from cellular oxidative mechanisms to the transport and delivery of oxygen to
body cells. It is a constituent of the oxygen-carrying chromoproteins, haemoglobin and myoglobin, as well as various enzymes, such as
cytochrome oxidase and peroxidases. The remaining body iron is present in the flavoproteins, the iron-sulphur proteins, as well as storage iron-
ferritin, and transport iron-transferrin.
Measured serum iron concentration is principally the Fe(III) bound to serum transferrin and does not include the iron contained in serum as free
haemoglobin. Since normally only about one-third of the iron-binding sites of transferrin are occupied by Fe(III), serum transferrin has
considerable reserve iron-binding capacity. This is called the serum unsaturated or latent iron-binding capacity. UIBC measurements can be
used in conjunction with serum iron concentration to obtain the total-iron binding capacity (TIBC) i.e. the maximum concentration of iron that
serum proteins, principally transferrin, can bind.
TIBC is decreased in chronic infections, malignancy, in iron poisoning, renal disease, nephrosis, kwashiorkor and thalassemia. Common causes
for an increase in TIBC include iron deficiency anemia, late pregnancy, oral contraception and viral hepatitis.
Test Principle
2+
Fe from reagent 1 reacts with Nitroso-PSAP from reagent 2 to form an intense green complex. If sample is added a part or all of the iron ions
bind specifically with transferrin at unsaturated iron binding sites at alkaline pH. They are thus not available for the colour reaction with Nitroso-
PSAP. The difference between the resulting changes in the measured absorbances with or without samples is equivalent to the iron quantity
bound to transferrin. This is the unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC).
Reagent Preparation
R1: The entire contents of bottle R1a must be transferred into the entire volume of R1. Mix by gentle inversion before placing on board the instrument.
R2: The entire contents of bottle R2a must be transferred into the entire volume of R2. Mix by gentle inversion before placing on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum and heparinised plasma. Do not use EDTA, oxalate or citrate plasma.
4
Stable in serum and plasma for 3 weeks when stored at 2…8°C and 7 days when stored at 15…25°C.
Haemolysed samples should be avoided. Remove serum from red cells immediately to avoid haemolysis.
5
Samples should be taken in the morning from patients in a fasting state, since iron values can decrease by 30% during the course of the day.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use
statement.
Calibration
System Calibrator Cat. No. 66300.
The calibrator value is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Material (SRM) 937.
Recalibrate the assay every 14 days, or when the following occur:
Change in reagent bottle or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the UIBC concentration of each sample.
Reference Intervals6
Adults 27.8 – 63.6 µmol/L (155 – 355 µg/dL)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the
expected values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For
diagnostic purposes, results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other
findings.
Linearity
The test is linear within a concentration range of 10 – 100 µmol/L (55 – 550 µg/dL).
Precision
The following data was obtained on an AU2700 using 3 serum pools analysed over 20 days.
n = 80 Within Run Total
Mean µmol/L SD CV% SD CV%
24.56 0.54 2.19 0.82 3.35
35.57 0.39 1.10 0.68 1.93
72.54 0.47 0.65 0.73 1.01
Sensitivity
The lowest detectable level on an AU2700 analyser was estimated at 2.30 µmol/L.
The lowest detectable level represents the lowest measurable level of UIBC that can be distinguished from zero. It is calculated as the absolute
mean plus three standard deviations of 20 replicates of an analyte free sample.
Method Comparison
Patient serum samples were used to compare this UIBC OSR61205 assay on the AU640 against another commercially available UIBC assay.
Results of linear regression analysis were as follows:
y = 0.988x + 1.956 r = 0.992 n = 115 Sample range = 11.21 – 75.63 µmol/L
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to interference were as follows:
Icterus: Interference less than 6% up to 40 mg/dL or 684 µmol/L bilirubin
Haemolysis: Interference less than 10% up to 2 g/L haemoglobin
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 5% up to 1000 mg/dL Intralipid
7

Summary1,2
Urea is synthesised in the liver as the final product of protein and amino acid metabolism. Urea synthesis is therefore dependant on daily protein
intake and endogenous protein metabolism. Most of the urea produced during these metabolic processes is eliminated by glomerular filtration,
with 40 – 60% diffusing back into the blood, irrespective of the flow rate in the proximal tubule. Rediffusion in the distal tubule depends on the
urinary flow and is regulated by antidiuretic hormone. During diuresis, there is minimal rediffusion of urea into the blood; a large quantity of urea
is excreted in the urine and plasma urea concentration is low. During antidiuresis, which may occur in oliguric heart failure, exsiccosis or thirst,
urea rediffuses in the tubules at an increased rate and plasma urea is increased. In pre- and post renal kidney failure, the tubular urine flow is
decreased, resulting in increased rediffusion of urea in the distal tubules and increased creatinine secretion. Prerenal elevation of urea occurs in
cardiac decompensation, increased protein catabolism and water depletion. Urea levels may be elevated due to renal causes such as acute
glomerulonephritis, chronic nephritis, polycystic kidney, tubular necrosis and nephrosclerosis. Post renal elevation of urea may be caused by
obstruction of the urinary tract. Plasma urea concentration is determined by renal perfusion, urea synthesis rate, and glomerular filtration rate
(GFR) and may be increased in acute renal failure, chronic renal failure and prerenal azotaemia. In dialysis patients the urea concentration is
representative of protein degradation and is also an indicator of metabolic status. In end-stage renal failure, the urotoxic signs, in particular
those relating to the gastrointestinal system, correlate well with urea concentration. Serum urea and serum creatinine determinations are
frequently performed together in the differential diagnosis of kidney function.
Test Principle3
Urea is hydrolysed in the presence of water and urease to produce ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia produced in the first reaction
+
combines with 2-oxoglutarate and NADH in the presence of glutamate-dehydrogenase (GLDH) to yield glutamate and NAD . The decrease in
NADH absorbance per unit time is proportional to the urea concentration.
Reaction Principle

2-Oxoglutarate + 2 NH4 + 2 NADH 2 L-Glutamate + 2 NAD + 2 H2O
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument
Specimen
1
Serum and EDTA or lithium heparinised plasma. Do not use ammonium heparinised plasma.
4
Stable in serum and plasma for 7 days when stored at 2...25°C.
Haemolysed and strongly icteric samples should be avoided.
5
Urine: 24-hour collection without preservatives is recommended.
4
Stable in urine for 7 days when stored at 2…8°C and 2 days when stored at 15…25°C.
Calibration
Use System Calibrator Cat. No. 66300 for serum/plasma application and Urine Calibrator Cat. No. ODC0025 for urine application.
The urea values of both calibrators are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Reference Material (SRM) 909b
Level 1.
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Quality Control
Controls Cat. No. ODC0003 and ODC0004 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used for
the serum/plasma application.
Biorad Liquichek Urine Chemistry Controls Cat. No. 397 and 398 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter
system may be used for the urine application.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient
samples are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory
generates analyte specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should
fall within the corresponding acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the urea concentration of each sample.
Reference Intervals
1
Serum/Plasma Adult (Global) 2.8 – 7.2 mmol/L (17 – 43 mg/dL)
6
Newborn 1.4 – 4.3 mmol/L (8.4 – 25.8 mg/dL)
Infant/child 1.8 – 6.4 mmol/L (10.8 – 38.4 mg/dL)
7
Urine 250 – 570 mmol/day (15,000 – 34,200 mg/day)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the
expected values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For
diagnostic purposes, results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other
findings.

Intended Use
Kinetic UV test for the quantitative determination of urea in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Urea reagent OSR6541 for use on the AU680, AU2700 and AU5400 systems only.
Summary1,2
Urea is synthesised in the liver as the final product of protein and amino acid metabolism. Urea synthesis is therefore dependant on daily protein intake and
endogenous protein metabolism. Most of the urea produced during these metabolic processes is eliminated by glomerular filtration, with 40-60% diffusing
back into the blood, irrespective of the flow rate in the proximal tubule. Rediffusion in the distal tubule depends on the urinary flow and is regulated by
antidiuretic hormone. During diuresis, there is minimal rediffusion of urea into the blood; a large quantity of urea is excreted in the urine and plasma urea
concentration is low. During antidiuresis, which may occur in oliguric heart failure, exsiccosis or thirst, urea rediffuses in the tubules at an increased rate and
plasma urea is increased. In pre- and post renal kidney failure, the tubular urine flow is decreased, resulting in increased rediffusion of urea in the distal
tubules and increased creatinine secretion. Prerenal elevation of urea occurs in cardiac decompensation, increased protein catabolism and water
depletion. Urea levels may be elevated due to renal causes such as acute glomerulonephritis, chronic nephritis, polycystic kidney, tubular necrosis and
nephrosclerosis. Post renal elevation of urea may be caused by obstruction of the urinary tract. Plasma urea concentration is determined by renal
perfusion, urea synthesis rate, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and may be increased in acute renal failure, chronic renal failure and prerenal
azotaemia. In dialysis patients the urea concentration is representative of protein degradation and is also an indicator of metabolic status. In end-stage
renal failure the urotoxic signs, in particular those relating to the gastrointestinal system, correlate well with urea concentration. Serum urea and serum
creatinine determinations are frequently performed together in the differential diagnosis of kidney function.
Test Principle3
Urea is hydrolysed in the presence of water and urease to produce ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia produced in the first reaction combines
+
with 2-oxoglutarate and NADH in the presence of glutamate-dehydrogenase (GLDH) to yield glutamate and NAD . The decrease in NADH absorbance per
unit time is proportional to the urea concentration.

Reagent Preparation
To prepare the working reagent, slowly add the contents of the bottle labelled R1-2 to the bottle labelled R1. Mix gently by inversion and place on board the
instrument.
Specimen
1
Serum and EDTA or lithium heparinised plasma. Do not use ammonium heparinised plasma.
4
Stable in serum and plasma for 7 days when stored at 2...25°C.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
Quality Control
controls Cat. No. ODC0003 and ODC0004 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the urea concentration of each sample.
Reference Intervals1
Serum/Plasma Adult 2.8 – 7.2 mmol/L (17 – 43 mg/dL)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Linearity
The test is linear within a concentration range of 0.8 – 50 mmol/L (5 – 300 mg/dL).
Precision
The following data was obtained on an AU600 using 2 serum controls analysed over 20 days.
n = 80 Within Run Total
Mean mmol/L SD CV% SD CV%
4.90 0.09 1.80 0.12 2.50
25.64 0.46 1.80 0.56 2.20
Sensitivity
The lowest detectable level on an AU600 analyser was calculated as 0.23 mmol/L.
The lowest detectable level represents the lowest measurable level of urea that can be distinguished from zero. It is calculated as the absolute mean plus
three standard deviations of 20 replicates of an analyte free sample.
Method Comparison
Patient serum samples were used to compare this Urea OSR6141 assay on the AU600 against another commercially available urea assay. Results of
linear regression analysis were as follows:
y = 0.925x - 0.162 r = 0.999 n = 116 Sample range = 1.38 – 39.44 mmol/L
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to interference were as follows:
Icterus: Interference less than 3% up to 40 mg/dL or 684 µmol/L bilirubin
Haemolysis: Interference less than 10% up to 5 g/L haemoglobin
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 3% up to 500 mg/dL Intralipid
5
Refer to Young for further information on interfering substances.
Limitations
Highly lipemic samples may exceed the reaction absorbance and will be flagged with a “@”. Such samples should be diluted and re-run.

Intended Use
Enzymatic colour test for the quantitative determination of uric acid in human serum, plasma and urine on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro
diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2
Uric Acid is the major product of purine catabolism in humans. Most uric acid formation occurs in the liver, and is eliminated via the kidney, with the body
uric acid pool determined by the balance between synthesis and elimination. Hyperuricaemia is divided into primary and secondary classifications,
involving either overproduction or reduced elimination. Primary hyperuricaemia is also known as the idiopathic or familial form. In the vast majority of
affected cases, reduced tubular secretion of uric acid is responsible for the elevation in uric acid levels. Approximately 1% of patients with primary
hyperuricaemia have an enzymatic defect in purine metabolism which results in overproduction of uric acid. Primary hyperuricaemia is associated with
gout, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, Kelley Seegmiller syndrome and increased phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase activity. Secondary hyperuricaemia
may be caused by increased nutritional purine uptake, associated with increased uric acid excretion in the urine. Secondary hyperuricaemia is associated
with numerous conditions including renal insufficiency, myeloproliferative diseases, haemolytic diseases, psoriasis, polycythemia vera, type I glycogen
storage disease, excess alcohol consumption, lead intoxication, a purine-rich diet, fasting, starvation and chemotherapy.
Hypouricaemia may result from decreased uric acid production, such as occurs in hereditary xanthinuria, hereditary purine nucleoside phosphorylase
deficiency and allopurinol therapy. Hypouricaemia may also be due to increased renal uric acid excretion, which may occur in malignant diseases, AIDS,
Fanconi syndrome, diabetes mellitus, severe burns and hypereosinophilic syndrome. In addition, hypouricaemia may result from treatment with uricosuric
agents and ingestion of X-ray contrast media. Quantitation of urinary uric acid excretion may assist in the selection of appropriate treatment for
hyperuricaemia, providing an indication of whether patients should be treated with uricosuric drugs to enhance renal excretion, or allopurinol to supress
purine synthesis.
Test Principle3
Uric acid is converted by uricase to allantoin and hydrogen peroxide. The Trinder reaction is utilised to measure H2O2. The formed H2O2 reacts with
N,N-bis(4-sulfobutyl)-3,5-dimethylaniline, disodium salt (MADB) and 4-aminophenazone in the presence of peroxidase to produce a chromophore, which is
read biochromatically at 660/800nm. The amount of dye formed is proportional to the uric acid concentration in the sample.
Reaction principle
Uricase
Uric acid + O2 + 2 H2O Allantoin + CO2 + H2O2
Peroxidase
+ -
2 H2O2 + MADB + 4-Aminophenazone Blue dye + OH + 3 H2O
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User’s Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use
statement.
Calibration
Use System Calibrator Cat. No. 66300 for serum/plasma application and Urine Calibrator Cat. No. ODC0025 for urine application.
The uric acid values of both calibrators are traceable to the Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry Reference Method (IDMS).
Recalibrate the assay every 30 days, or when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot number or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Quality Control
Controls Cat. No. ODC0003 and ODC0004 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used for the
serum/plasma application.
Biorad Liquichek Urine Chemistry Controls Cat. No. 397 and 398 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may
be used for the urine application.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the uric acid concentration of each sample.
Reference Intervals6
Serum Male 208.3 – 428.4 µmol/L (3.5 – 7.2 mg/dL)
Female 154.7 – 357.0 µmol/L (2.6 – 6.0 mg/dL)
Urine, 24h Average diet 1488 – 4463 µmol/d (250 – 750 mg/d)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.

URINARY/CSF PROTEIN
OSR6170 4 x 19 mL R1
1 x 3 mL Calibrator
Intended Use
Photometric colour test for the quantitative determination of total protein in human urine and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on Beckman Coulter
analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1
Measurement of total protein in urine is important in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases associated with renal, cardiac and thyroid function.
These diseases are often characterised by proteinuria of which there are four main types: (a) increased glomerular permeability (glomerular
proteinuria) (b) defective tubular reabsorption (tubular proteinuria) (c) increased concentration of low molecular weight protein (overload
proteinuria) (d) abnormal secretion of protein into the urinary tract (postrenal proteinuria). Increased levels of urinary protein may also be
present following strenuous exercise or in the following conditions: monoclonal gammopathies, nephritis, diabetic nephropathy or urinary tract
infections.
The measurement of total protein in CSF is important in detecting increased permeability of the blood/brain barrier to plasma proteins or to
detect increased intrathecal production of immunoglobulins. Increased permeability of the blood brain barrier may result from conditions such as
brain tumour, intracerebral haemmorhage or by inflammation caused by bacterial or viral meningitis, encephalitis or poliomyelitis. Determination
of increased intrathecal synthesis of immunoglobulins is important in the diagnosis of demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
Test Principle1,2,3
Pyrogallol red is combined with molybdate to form a red complex with a maximum absorbance at 470nm. The assay is based on the shift in
absorption that occurs when the pyrogallol red-molybdate complex binds basic amino groups of protein molecules. A blue-purple complex is
formed with a maximum absorbance at 600 nm. The absorbance of this complex is directly proportional to the protein concentration in the
sample.
Reagent Preparation
R1 is ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument. Protect R1 from direct sunlight. The Calibrator is ready for use.
Specimen
Urine or cerebrospinal fluid.
4,5,6
Urine: A 24 hour or 12 hour urine specimen with no preservative is preferred.
7
Sample Stability: Analyse fresh otherwise stable stored at 2...8°C for up to 48 hours.
Urine samples contaminated by haemoglobin will result in a falsely elevated value.
CSF: Beckman Coulter recommends that CSF samples be collected in plain collection devices.
In the case of CSF samples care should be taken to avoid blood contamination during collection.
4
Sample Stability: Analyse fresh, otherwise stable stored at 4°C for up to 72 hours.
As with all dye based methods, analysis of urine samples containing immunoglobulin light chains (i.e. Bence-Jones Protein) may result in the
underestimation of protein. Where such samples are suspected it is recommended that the sample be concentrated and further analysed via
1
electrophoresis.
Discrepancies may arise when analysing total urine protein in samples from patients who have been treated with polypeptide-based plasma
8
substitutes. The polypeptides from the plasma substitute may be excreted into the urine and result in an elevated total urine protein result.
Where such samples are suspected it is recommended that the sample be concentrated and further analysed via electrophoresis.
Calibration
Use Calibrator provided in the kit. For value assigned to the calibrator please refer to bottle label. The calibrator is traceable to a primary
standard which is prepared gravimetrically using reagent grade human serum albumin.
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Quality Control
Control material with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient
samples are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory
generates analyte specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should
fall within the corresponding acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the total protein concentration of each sample.
Reference Intervals
1
Urine 0.05 – 0.08 g/day at rest
Value may increase to up to 0.30 g/day following exercise.
1
CSF (Adults) 0.15 – 0.45 g/L
1
CSF (newborn <1month) 0.15 – 1.30 g/L
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the
expected values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For
diagnostic purposes, results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other
findings.

α-1 ACIDGLYCOPROTEIN
OSR6162 4 x 20 mL R1
4 x 4.5 mL R2
Intended Use
Immuno-turbidimetric test for the quantitative determination of α-1 acidglycoprotein in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For
in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1
α-1 acidglycoprotein (also known as orosomucoid) contains a high percentage of carbohydrate and a large number of sialic acid residues giving it a very
high net negative charge and high solubility in water. α-1 acidglycoprotein is synthesised primarily by the hepatic parenchymal cells, but granulocytes and
monocytes may also contribute significantly to plasma levels in sepsis. It binds and inactivates a large number of basic and lipophilic compounds including
progesterone and related hormones as well as the progesterone antagonist RU486. It also binds and reduces the bioavailability of many drugs including
cocaine and benzodiazepine.
α-1 acidglycoprotein is an acute phase reactant, plasma levels show a 3-4 fold increase in most conditions associated with inflammation and tissue
necrosis. It may be one of the most reliable indicators of clinical activity of ulcerative colitis. Levels are also increased by glucocorticoid effects, either
endogenous (e.g. Cushing's syndrome) or exogenous as in prednisolone or dexamethasone therapy.
Plasma levels are decreased by oestrogens and due to nephrotic syndrome and protein losing enteropathies.
Test Principle
When a sample is mixed with R1 buffer and R2 antiserum solution, human α-1 acidglycoprotein reacts specifically with the anti-human
α-1 acidglycoprotein antibodies to yield insoluble aggregates. The absorbance of these aggregates is proportional to the α-1 acidglycoprotein
concentration in the sample.
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum or heparinised plasma.
2
Stable in serum and plasma for 5 months when stored at 2…25°C.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
Calibration
Serum Protein Multi-Calibrator 2 Cat. No. ODR3023.
The calibrator α-1 acidglycoprotein values are traceable to IFCC (International Federation of Clinical Chemistry) standard CRM 470.
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values,
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed, on the Beckman Coulter analyser, for acceptability using the software options -
Routine, Calibration Monitor, Calibration Curve. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good
laboratory practice.
Quality Control
ITA Control Sera ODC0014, ODC0015 and ODC0016 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the α-1 acidglycoprotein concentration of each sample.
Limitations
Samples with extremely abnormal optical characteristics, especially turbidity, may produce atypical results.
Samples with very high α-1 acidglycoprotein concentrations (> 5 g/L) can generate false low results without appropriate "Z" flags due to excess antigen in

Summary1,2,3
Lipids are transported throughout the body by complex structures called lipoproteins. Lipoproteins are classified into five major density classes:
chylomicrons, very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density
lipoprotein (HDL). Over the past several decades, decreased serum levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and increased levels of low-density
lipoprotein (LDL) have been associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease.
Associated with these lipoproteins, at least five major apolipoproteins have been described and have been labelled A through E. The principle
apolipoproteins of HDL are the A apolipoproteins, constituting nearly 90% of the protein mass. Apo A1 has a role in the removal of excess
cholesterol from the tissues and reduced levels of Apo A1 have been observed in patients with coronary heart disease. Apo A1 measurements
are frequently used in characterising patients with genetic disorders that lead to low HDL cholesterol concentrations. Apo B plays an essential
role in the delivery of cholesterol to the tissues, the most abundant form of Apo B, Apo B100 is present in all atherogenic lipoprotein fractions
VLDL, IDL and LDL. Elevated levels of ApoB100 are associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease.
Test Principle
When a sample is mixed with R1 buffer and R2 antiserum solution, Apo A1 reacts specifically with anti-human Apo A1 antibodies to yield
insoluble aggregates. The absorbance of these aggregates is proportional to the Apo A1 concentration in the sample.
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen4
Serum: Stable for 8 days when stored at 2...8°C and 1 day when stored at 15…25°C.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use
statement.
Calibration
Apo A1 & B Calibrators Cat. No. ODR3005 for 3 point calibration.
Apo A1 & B Calibrators Cat. No. ODR3022 for 5 point calibration.
The calibrator Apo A1 values are traceable to the WHO International Reference Material, SP1-01.
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed, on the Beckman Coulter analyser, for acceptability using the software
options - Routine, Calibration Monitor, Calibration Curve. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in
accordance with good laboratory practice.
Quality Control
Controls Cat. No. ODC0003 and ODC0004 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient
samples are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory
generates analyte specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should
fall within the corresponding acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the Apo A1 concentration of each sample.
Limitations
Samples with extremely abnormal optical characteristics, especially turbidity, may produce atypical results.

Summary1,2
β-2 microglobulin is a low molecular weight (11.8 kDa) protein found on the cell membrane of all nucleated cells including lymphocytes. The protein is the
light or β-chain of the class I human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and consists of a single polypeptide chain with one intrachain disulfide bridge. Changes in
serum β-2 microglobulin levels or β-2 microglobulin excretion are caused by an increase in production, a change in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) or
tubular reabsorption.
Since the lymphatic system is the main synthesis site of β-2 microglobulin, all conditions with an increased proliferation rate of lymphocytic cells are
associated with elevated serum concentrations e.g. multiple myelomas, Hodgkin's lymphomas, chronic lymphocytic leukemias and other malignant non-
Hodgkin's lymphomas. Production of β-2 microglobulin is also increased in all diseases that are associated with activation of the immune system e.g.
certain autoimmune diseases; bacterial and viral infections (HIV,CMV,EBV); infectious mononucleosis and transplant rejection.
In healthy people, β-2 microglobulin is synthesised at a relatively constant rate and released into the body fluids during the process of natural cell
regeneration, it is subject to free glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption. A reduction in GFR prolongs the half-life of β-2 microglobulin and serum
concentrations increase exponentially. Excretion of β-2 microglobulin is increased in the case of tubular damage e.g. due to bacterially induced interstitial
nephritis and cadmium nephropathy. β-2 microglobulin is frequently used to test renal tubular function, particularly in kidney transplant patients in whom
rejection of the allograft will manifest as an increase in serum β-2 microglobulin due to tubulopathy.
Test Principle
When a sample is mixed with R1 buffer and R2 latex solution, human β-2 microglobulin reacts specifically with anti-human β-2 microglobulin antibodies
coated on the latex particles, to yield insoluble aggregates. The absorbance of these aggregates is proportional to the β-2 microglobulin concentration in
the sample.
Reagent Preparation
R1 is ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument. R2 should be mixed by inversion 5 – 10 times before placing on board the
instrument and at weekly intervals thereafter.
Specimen
Serum and EDTA or heparinised plasma.
3
Stable in serum and plasma for 3 days when stored at 2…25°C.
Strongly lipemic samples should be avoided.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
Calibration
Serum Protein Multi-Calibrator 2 Cat. No. ODR3023.
st
The calibrator β-2 microglobulin values provided in the calibrator package insert are traceable to the WHO 1 International Standard 1985.
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed, on the Beckman Coulter analyser, for acceptability using the software options -
Routine, Calibration Monitor, Calibration Curve. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good
laboratory practice.
Quality Control
ITA Control Sera ODC0014, ODC0015 and ODC0016 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Reference Intervals1
Serum, plasma (< 60 years) 0.8 – 2.4 mg/L (0.08 – 0.24 mg/dL)
(> 60 years) ≤ 3.0 mg/L (≤ 0.3 mg/dL)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Limitations
Samples from patients with paraproteinemia may occasionally give spuriously elevated results, such samples should be diluted prior to analysis.
Samples containing elevated levels of rheumatoid factor may cause positive interference in this assay. Results from such patients should be interpreted
with care.
Samples with extremely abnormal optical characteristics, especially turbidity, may produce atypical results.
Samples with very high β-2 microglobulin concentrations (> 2000 mg/L) can generate false low results without appropriate “Z” flags due to excess antigen
in the sample.

Summary1,2
The Complement system consists of about 20 plasma proteins as well as receptors on blood cells that play an important role in inflammation by facilitating
phagocytosis through opsonisation, lysing foreign cells, increasing vascular permeability and attracting phagocytes. Activation or consumption of
complement occurs in a number of disorders, particularly those involving immune complex deposition e.g. SLE, mixed cryoglobulinaemia and some forms
of vasculitis, however this may be compensated for in part by the synthesis of acute phase reactants. C3 comprises about 30% of the total plasma
concentration of complement components and is consumed by activation of both the classical and alternative pathways. C4 levels fall only as a
consequence of classical pathway activation, therefore if hypocomplementemia is present, measurement of both C3 and C4 can determine whether the
classical or alternative pathway has been activated.
Test Principle
When a sample is mixed with R1 buffer and R2 antiserum solution, human C3 reacts specifically with anti-human C3 antibodies to yield insoluble
aggregates. The absorbance of these aggregates is proportional to the C3 concentration in the sample.
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum and EDTA or heparinised plasma.
3
Stable in serum and plasma for 8 days when stored at 2...8 °C and 4 days when stored at 15…25 °C.
Strongly lipemic samples should be avoided.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
The paediatric application is suitable for use with small volume serum/plasma samples.
Calibration
Serum Protein Multi-Calibrator Cat. No. ODR3021. MC Cal A Cat No. ODR30037 for Mastercurve enabled systems only. Please refer to User Guide for
further instructions.

acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.

Summary1,2
The Complement system consists of about 20 plasma proteins as well as receptors on blood cells that play an important role in inflammation by facilitating
phagocytosis through opsonisation, lysing foreign cells, increasing vascular permeability and attracting phagocytes. Activation or consumption of
complement occurs in a number of disorders, particularly those involving immune complex deposition e.g. SLE, mixed cryoglobulinaemia and some forms
of vasculitis, however this may be compensated for in part by the synthesis of acute phase reactants. C3 comprises about 30% of the total plasma
concentration of complement components and is consumed by activation of both the classical and alternative pathways. C4 levels fall only as a
consequence of classical pathway activation, therefore if hypocomplementemia is present, measurement of both C3 and C4 can determine whether the
classical or alternative pathway has been activated.
Test Principle
When a sample is mixed with R1 buffer and R2 antiserum solution, human C4 reacts specifically with anti-human C4 antibodies to yield insoluble
aggregates. The absorbance of these aggregates is proportional to the C4 concentration in the sample.
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum and EDTA or heparinised plasma.
3
Stable in serum and plasma for 8 days when stored at 2...8 °C and 2 days when stored at 15…25 °C.
Strongly lipemic samples should be avoided.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
The paediatric application is suitable for use with small volume serum/plasma samples.
Calibration
Serum Protein Multi-Calibrator Cat. No. ODR3021. MC Cal A Cat No. ODR30037 for Mastercurve enabled systems only. Please refer to User Guide for
further instructions.
®
The calibrator values are traceable to ERM – DA470.
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed for acceptability, on the Beckman Coulter analyser, using the software options to
access the Calibration Monitor. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good laboratory
practice.
Quality Control
ITA Control Sera ODC0014, ODC0015 and ODC0016 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the C4 concentration of each sample.
Limitations
Samples with extremely abnormal optical characteristics, especially turbidity, may produce atypical results.

Summary1,2
Ceruloplasmin is the primary copper containing protein in plasma. It is a late acute phase reactant synthesised by the liver. Acute phase reactant refers to
proteins whose serum concentrations rise significantly during acute inflammation due to causes including surgery, myocardial infarction, infections and
tumours. Ceruloplasmin’s main clinical importance is in the diagnosis of Wilson’s disease. Here plasma ceruloplasmin concentration is reduced while
dialysable copper concentration is increased. Increased ceruloplasmin levels are particularly notable in diseases of the reticuloendothelial system such as
Hodgkin’s disease as well as during pregnancy or the use of contraceptive pills. Low plasma levels of ceruloplasmin are found in malnutrition,
malabsorption, nephrosis and severe liver disease, particularly biliary cirrhosis.
Test Principle
When a sample is mixed with R1 buffer and R2 antiserum solution, human ceruloplasmin reacts specifically with the anti-human ceruloplasmin antibodies
to yield insoluble aggregates. The absorbance of these aggregates is proportional to the ceruloplasmin concentration in the sample.
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum and EDTA or heparinised plasma.
3
Stable in serum and plasma for 3 days when stored at 2...8°C.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
Calibration
Serum Protein Multi-Calibrator 2 Cat. No. ODR3023.
The calibrator values are traceable to the IFCC (International Federation of Clinical Chemistry) standard CRM 470.
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed, on the Beckman Coulter analyser, for acceptability using the software options -
Routine, Calibration Monitor, Calibration Curve. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good
laboratory practice.
Quality Control
ITA Control Sera ODC0014, ODC0015 and ODC0016 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the ceruloplasmin concentration of each sample.
Reference Intervals4
Adults 200 – 600 mg/L (20 – 60 mg/dL)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Limitations
Samples from patients with abnormal lipoprotein metabolism such as those seen in cholecystitis or obstructive liver disease may give artificially negative
Ceruloplasmin results. These samples are characterised by having extremely elevated Cholesterol values (>10 mmol/L) and elevated Bilirubin. Such
samples should be diluted 1 part sample to 4 parts deionised water prior to analysis and the result multiplied by 5.
Samples with extremely abnormal optical characteristics, especially turbidity, may produce atypical results.

Summary1,2
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase protein synthesised by the liver in response to the release of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6. CRP
exhibits dramatic increases in concentration following acute or chronic inflammation that may accompany bacterial infections - the most potent stimulus to
CRP production; autoimmune or immune complex disease; tissue necrosis and malignancy; myocardial infarction; and trauma. The increase occurs within
24 – 48 hours and the level may be 2000 times normal. In many cases the changes in plasma CRP level precede changes in the clinical symptoms.
The degree of elevation of CRP reflects the mass or activity of the inflammed tissue and in acute inflammation or infection correlates well with disease
activity. Because the increase is non-specific, it cannot be interpretated without a complete clinical history, and even then only by comparison with previous
values. A persistently raised CRP level generally indicates that therapy is ineffective.
Normal CRP levels do not exclude the presence of minor degrees of acute, localised inflammation or some chronic diseases such as SLE and ulcerative
colitis.
Test Principle
When a sample is mixed with R1 buffer and R2 antiserum solution, CRP reacts specifically with anti-human CRP antibodies to yield insoluble aggregates.
The absorbance of these aggregates is proportional to the CRP concentration in the sample.
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
3
Serum and heparinised plasma: Stable in serum and plasma for 2 months when stored at 2...8 °C and 11 days when stored at 15…25 °C.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
Calibration
Serum Protein Multi-Calibrator Cat. No. ODR3021.
The calibrator CRP values are traceable to IFCC (International Federation of Clinical Chemistry) standard CRM 470.
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed, on the Beckman Coulter analyser, for acceptability using the software options to
access Calibration Monitor. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good laboratory practice.
Quality Control
ITA Control Sera ODC0014, ODC0015 and ODC0016 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the CRP concentration of each sample.
Limitations
This product is not suitable for cardiovascular risk assessment or diagnostic evaluation of neonates. The CRP Latex reagent Cat. No.: OSR6199 is
available for this purpose.
Samples from patients with abnormal lipoprotein metabolism such as those seen in cholecystitis or obstructive liver disease may give artificially elevated
CRP results. These samples are characterised by having extremely elevated Cholesterol values (> 10 mmol/L) and elevated Bilirubin. Such samples
should be diluted 1 part sample to 4 parts deionised water prior to analysis and the result multiplied by 5.
Samples with extremely abnormal optical characteristics, especially turbidity, may produce atypical results.
Samples with very high CRP concentrations (> 750 mg/L) can generate false low results without appropriate "Z" flags due to excess antigen in the sample.
In very rare cases gammopathy, especially monoclonal IgM (Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia), may cause unreliable results.

Summary
C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the most sensitive acute-phase reactants. With the Beckman Coulter System CRP Latex reagent, CRP can be
measured down to very low concentrations, however due to the non specificity of CRP and the wide inter-individual variation, interpretation of CRP levels
must be undertaken with care, usually in comparison with previous CRP values or other markers.
Depending on the application used (different instrument settings) two measuring ranges are available:
1,2,3,4
1. Normal Application (0.2-480 mg/L): C-reactive protein levels in serum can rise dramatically after myocardial infarction, trauma, infection,
inflammation, surgery, or neoplastic proliferation. The increase occurs within 24 to 48 hours, and the level may be 2000 times normal.
Studies have shown that the detection of much lower CRP levels can indicate an increased risk for coronary heart disease in asymptomatic patients. CRP
concentrations above 3 mg/L at the time of hospital admission can predict subsequent cardiac events.
5,6
2. Highly Sensitive Application (0.08 – 80 mg/L): Cord blood normally has very low CRP concentrations (median 0.12 mg/L). In the diagnostic evaluation
of neonates with suspected infection, measurements of serial CRP levels are useful. Two low CRP levels obtained 24 hours apart, 8-48 hours after
presentation, indicate that bacterial infection is unlikely. Thus CRP Latex reagent is providing a valuable tool for the early diagnosis of infection in preterm
infants and neonates. It assesses both the need for and the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment however CRP values alone cannot be used as a basis for
early discontinuance of antibiotic therapy.
Test Principle
When a sample is mixed with R1 buffer and R2 latex suspension, CRP reacts specifically with anti-human CRP antibodies coated on the latex particles to
yield insoluble aggregates. The absorbance of these aggregates is proportional to the CRP concentration in the sample.
Reagent Preparation
R1 is ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument. R2 should be mixed by inversion 5 - 10 times before placing on board the
instrument and at weekly intervals thereafter.
Specimen
7
Serum, EDTA and lithium heparinised plasma: Stable in serum and plasma for 2 months when stored at 2...8°C and 11 days when stored at 15…25°C.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use
statement.
Data check parameters must be applied when using Highly Sensitive application on AU2700/AU5400, see setting sheets for specific instrument
details.

Recalibrate when the following occur:
Change in reagent bottle or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed, on the Beckman Coulter analyser, for acceptability using the software options -
Routine, Calibration Monitor, Calibration Curve. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good
laboratory practice.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the CRP concentration of each sample.
Reference Intervals
8
Normal application < 5 mg/L
9
Highly sensitive application < 1 mg/L
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Limitations
Samples containing heterophilic antibodies can cause falsely elevated results.
Samples with extremely abnormal optical characteristics, especially turbidity, may produce atypical results.
Samples with very high CRP concentrations (> 750 mgmL) can generate false low results without appropriate "Z" flags due to excess antigen in
the sample.
In very rare cases Gammopathy, especially monoclonal IgM (Waldenström’s macroglobinemia), may cause unreliable results.

Sensitivity
The lowest detectable level was estimated as follows:
Analyser Lowest Detectable Level (µg FEU/mL)
AU640 0.08
AU400 0.05
AU2700 0.03
The lowest detectable level represents the lowest measurable level of D-Dimer that can be distinguished from zero. It is calculated as the
absolute mean plus three standard deviations of 20 replicates of an analyte free sample.
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to interference were as follows:
Icterus: Interference less than 10% up to 40 mg/dL or 684 µmol/L bilirubin
Haemolysis: Interference less than 10% up to 5 g/L haemoglobin
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 10% up to 700 mg/dL Intralipid
Rheumatoid Factor: Interference less than 10% up to 100 IU/mL
Heparin: Interference less than 10% up to 1.5 IU/mL
6
Refer to Young for further information on interfering substances.
Limitations8
The D-Dimer assay has been optimised to reduce the risk of prozone occurrence in the presence of abnormally high D-Dimer concentrations.
Samples with very elevated D-Dimer concentrations (>200 µg FEU/mL) can generate false low results without appropriate “Z” flags due to
excess antigen in the sample, such as can occur during lysis therapy. In very rare cases gammopathy, especially monoclonal IgM
(Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia), may cause unreliable results.
Samples containing heterophilic antibodies may cause falsely elevated results.
Samples with extremely abnormal optical characteristics, especially turbidity, may produce atypical results.

Summary1,2
Measurement of ferritin in serum or plasma is a useful indicator of body iron stores in normal persons, and in individuals with iron deficiency. A ferritin level
of less than 10 µg/L usually indicates iron deficiency anemia. An increased ferritin concentration is observed in a large number of chronic diseases. These
include chronic infections; chronic inflammatory disorders; heart disease; and malignancies, especially lymphomas, leukemias, breast cancer and
neuroblastoma. In patients who have any of these disorders together with iron deficiency, ferritin concentration is often normal. Ferritin concentrations may
be extremely high in patients suffering from hemochromatosis and certain liver diseases.
Test Principle3,4
Latex agglutination reactions occur as a result of antibody-coated latex beads aggregating if antigen is present in sufficient quantity. Immune complexes
formed in solution scatter light in proportion to their size, shape and concentration. Under conditions of antibody excess, increasing amounts of antigen
result in higher scatter. Turbidimeters measure the reduction of incident light due to reflection, absorption, or scatter.
In the Beckman Coulter procedure, the measurement of the decrease in light intensity transmitted (increase in absorbance) through particles suspended in
solution as a result of complexes formed during the antigen-antibody reaction, is the basis of this assay. The Ferritin reagent is a suspension of polystyrene
latex particles, of uniform size, coated with polyclonal rabbit anti-ferritin antibody. When a sample containing ferritin is mixed with the Ferritin reagent, an
agglutination mixture occurs. This is measured spectrophotometrically on Beckman Coulter Chemistry Analysers.
Reagent Preparation
R1 is ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument. R2 should be mixed by inversion 5 – 10 times before placing on board the
instrument.
Specimen
Serum, Li-heparin plasma and EDTA plasma samples are the recommended specimens.
5,6
Stable in serum and plasma for 7 days when stored at 2…8°C and for 12 months when stored at -20°C.
Strongly lipemic samples should be avoided.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
Data check parameters are required, see setting sheets for specific instrument details.
Calibration
Serum Protein Multi-Calibrator Cat No. ODR3021.
rd
The calibrator ferritin values assigned to the calibrators are traceable to the 3 International Standard for ferritin, Recombinant NIBSC code: 94/572.
Recalibrate the assay every 30 days, or when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed, on the Beckman Coulter analyser, for acceptability using the software options -
Routine, Calibration Monitor, Calibration Curve. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good
laboratory practice.
Quality Control
ITA Control Sera ODC0014, ODC0015, ODC0016 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Please note that the recovery of non-Beckman Coulter controls may vary with reagent lots of immunoassay products, due to the use of non-human
materials in the controls.
Reference Intervals
1
Serum Adults
Adult male: 20 – 250 µg/L
Adult female: 10 – 120 µg/L
7
Serum/Plasma Children
Up to 1 month: 6 – 400 µg/L
1 to 6 months: 6 – 410 µg/L
6 to 12 months: 6 – 80 µg/L
1 to 5 years: 6 – 60 µg/L
6 to 19 years: 6 – 320 µg/L
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Limitations
This assay has been specifically designed to substantially reduce the risk of interference from HAMA or Heterophilic antibodies, however as with all
immuno-assays there is always a small risk from such interferences and therefore for diagnostic purposes the Ferritin results should always be assessed in
9,10
conjunction with other available information e.g., patients medical history, clinical impressions and results of other tests.
To investigate samples which are believed to contain interference, a number of approaches can be adopted. Serial dilution may reveal incorrect recovery,
PEG precipitation, pre-treatment with non immune serum or assay of the sample in an alternate assay system are all useful in identifying whether the
10
sample contains an interferent. The results of such samples should be interpreted with extreme care.
Samples with extremely abnormal optical characteristics, especially turbidity, may produce atypical results. Such samples must be serially diluted and
results compared to ensure that no such interference exists.
Samples with very high Ferritin concentrations (> 20,000 µg/L) can generate false low results without appropriate "Z" flags due to excess antigen in the
sample.
In very rare cases gammopathy, especially monoclonal IgM (Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia), may cause unreliable results.

Summary1
HbA1c is formed by the non-enzymatic glycation of free amino groups at the N-terminus of the β-chain of hemoglobin A0. The level of HbA1c is proportional
to the level of glucose in the blood. As the glucose remains bound to the red cell throughout its life cycle, measurement of HbA1c provides an indication of
the mean daily blood glucose concentration over the preceding two months. Measurement of HbA1c is, therefore, considered to be an important diagnostic
tool in the monitoring of dietary control and therapeutic regimes during the treatment of diabetes. Effective control of blood glucose levels is important in the
prevention of ketosis and hyperglycaemia, and may reduce the prevalence and severity of late diabetic complications such as retinopathy, neuropathy,
nephropathy and cardiac disease.
Test Principle
The concentrations of both HbA1c and Total Hemoglobin are determined. The HbA1c/Total Hemoglobin ratio is expressed as percentage HbA1c
(%HbA1c). The assay for percent HbA1c, involves the use of four reagents: Total Hemoglobin R1, HbA1c R1 antibody reagent, HbA1c R2 agglutinator
reagent, and Hemoglobin Denaturant (sold separately as Cat No.OSR0004).
In a pre-treatment step the whole blood is mixed with Hemoglobin Denaturant (OSR0004) in a 1 : 41 dilution and incubated for a minimum of five minutes
at room temperature. The red blood cells are lysed and the hemoglobin chain is hydrolysed by the protease present in the reagent.
Total Hemoglobin is measured via the conversion of all hemoglobin derivatives into alkaline haematin in the alkaline solution of a non-ionic detergent.
Addition of the pre-treated blood sample to the Total Hemoglobin reagent results in a green solution, which is measured at 600nm.
HbA1c is measured in a latex agglutination inhibition assay. An agglutinator, consisting of a synthetic polymer containing multiple copies of the
immunoreactive portion of HbA1c, causes agglutination of latex coated with HbA1c specific mouse monoclonal antibodies. In the absence of HbA1c in the
sample, the antibody-coated microparticles in the HbA1c R1 and the agglutinator in the HbA1c R2 will agglutinate. Agglutination leads to an increase in the
absorbance of the suspension. The presence of HbA1c in the sample results in a decrease in the rate of agglutination of the HbA1c R1 and the
agglutinator in the HbA1c reagent R2. The increase in absorbance is therefore inversely proportional to the concentration of HbA1c in the sample.
The increase in absorbance due to agglutination is measured at 700nm.

Test Procedure
Total Hemoglobin and HbA1c tests must be performed on each pre-treated sample and control. Refer to the appropriate User’s Guide and the
accompanying Instrument Setting Sheets for analyser-specific assay instructions.
Calibration
HbA1c Calibrator (ODR3032).
Calibrator 1 is used for calibration of the Total Hemoglobin assay only.
Calibrators 1 to 6 are used for calibration of the HbA1c assay.
Note: Calibrators do not require pre-treatment with Hemoglobin Denaturant.
For calibration procedure, please refer to HbA1c Calibrator ODR3032 Instructions for Use.
Recalibrate the assay every 14 days, or when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed, on the Beckman Coulter analyser, for acceptability. Quality control procedures should
be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good laboratory practice.

The calibrator HbA1c values are traceable to the IFCC HbA1c reference method via IFCC HbA1c reference material. Total haemoglobin values assigned
to the THb calibrator are traceable to the IRMM haemoglobin cyanide standard (BCR-522).The relationship between results from the NGSP network
(DCCT aligned) and the IFCC network has been evaluated, and a Master Equation has been developed for interconversion of results from IFCC to
DCCT/NGSP units.
MASTER EQUATION
DCCT/NGSP = (0.915 x IFCC) + 2.15
Definition of the relationship between the two networks links IFCC traceable results to clinically meaningful HbA1c results from the DCCT and the United
Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS). The Master Equation also provides these DCCT results with traceability to a higher order reference
method.
% HbA1c results generated during this assay are automatically recalculated to DCCT aligned units by the instrument, using the IFCC approved Master
Equation (NGSP = (0.915 x IFCC) + 2.15). Results are therefore expressed in DCCT aligned units as recommended by the IFCC.
Quality Control
HbA1c Control material ODC0022 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Reference Interval2
Adults: 4.0 – 6.2% (DCCT)
2.0 – 4.4% HbA1c (IFCC units; recalculated using Master Equation)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient’s medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Specific Performance Characteristics
Data contained within this section is representative of performance on Beckman Coulter systems. Data obtained in your laboratory may differ from these
values.
Analytical Range
Total Hemoglobin
The analytical range for Total Hemoglobin is 4.4 – 14.3 mmol/L (7 – 23 g/dL).
HbA1c
DCCT
The analytical range of this assay extends from 2.6% HbA1c to the concentration of Calibrator 6 which approximately corresponds to 14.5% HbA1c at a
total hemoglobin level of 9 mmol/L (14.5g/dL). Samples exceeding the upper limit of linearity should not be diluted, but instead should be reported as
>14.5%.
Precision
The following data was obtained on an AU640 analyser using 3 whole blood pools analysed over 20 days.
AU640:
n=80 Within run Total
Mean % SD CV% SD CV%
4.98 0.04 0.74 0.07 1.32
6.56 0.08 1.25 0.12 1.78
10.01 0.08 0.77 0.12 1.18
Sensitivity
The lowest detectable level on an AU640 analyser was calculated as:
HbA1c 0.02mmol/L (0.03g/dL); THb 0.05mmol/L (0.08 g/dL).
The lowest detectable level represents the lowest measurable level of HbA1c that can be distinguished from zero. It is calculated as the absolute mean
plus three standard deviations of 20 replicates of an analyte free sample.
Method Comparison
Patient samples were used to compare this HbA1c OSR6192 assay on the AU640 against another commercially available immunoturbidimetric HbA1c
assay. Results of linear regression analysis were as follows:
y = 1.092x - 0.147 r = 0.995 n = 97 Sample range = 5.1 – 11.5 %HbA1c
Rheumatoid factor (RF) up to 2000 IU/mL, acetylsalicylic acid (60 mg/dL), sodium cyanate (50 mg/dL) and urea (83 mmol/L) do not interfere with this
assay.

Refer to Young for further information on interfering substances.
Limitations5
Shortened red cell survival time will reduce the exposure of red cells to glucose, with a resultant decrease in % HbA1c values. Percentage HbA1c results
are therefore not reliable where red cell survival time is reduced. Causes of reduced red cell survival time include hemolytic anaemia, or other hemolytic
diseases, significant blood loss and pregnancy.
Samples containing hemoglobin variants S and C may produce up to a 40% elevation of the expected HbA1c value in this assay. Samples containing
> 10% of haemoglobin F may yield a lower than expected result with this test. HbA1c results obtained by this test method for blood samples containing Hb
variants S, C and F (>10%) should not be compared to published normal or abnormal values. A sample containing hemoglobin E was shown not to
interfere with this test.
The labile fraction of glycated hemoglobin (Schiff base attachment of glucose to HbA or HbA1c) does not affect the assay result due to the specificity of the
antibody for the stable ketoamine.
As with any chemical reaction, users should be aware of the possible effect on results due to unknown interferences from medication or endogenous
substances. For diagnostic purposes, the HbA1c results should always be assessed in conjunction with other available information e.g. patient’s medical
history, clinical status and results of other tests.

Summary1
HbA1c is formed by the non-enzymatic glycation of free amino groups at the N-terminus of the β-chain of hemoglobin A0. The level of HbA1c is proportional
to the level of glucose in the blood. As the glucose remains bound to hemoglobin in the red cell throughout the life cycle of the cell, measurement of HbA1c
provides an indication of the mean daily blood glucose concentration over the preceding two months. Measurement of HbA1c is, therefore, considered to
be an important diagnostic tool in the monitoring of dietary control and therapeutic regimes during the treatment of diabetes. Effective control of blood
glucose levels is important in the prevention of ketosis and hyperglycaemia, and may reduce the prevalence and severity of late diabetic complications
such as retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy and cardiac disease.
Test Principle
The concentrations of both HbA1c and Total Hemoglobin are determined. The HbA1c/Total Hemoglobin ratio is expressed as percentage HbA1c
(%HbA1c). The assay for percent HbA1c involves the use of four reagents: Total Hemoglobin APT R1, HbA1c APT R1 antibody reagent, HbA1c APT R2
agglutinator reagent, and HbA1c APT Denaturant R1.
Whole blood is pretreated automatically on board the AU680. The red blood cells are lysed and the hemoglobin chain is hydrolysed by the protease
present in the reagent.
Total Hemoglobin is measured via the conversion of all hemoglobin derivatives into alkaline haematin in the alkaline solution of a non-ionic detergent.
Addition of the pre-treated blood sample to the Total Hemoglobin reagent results in a green solution, which is measured at 600 nm.
HbA1c is measured in a latex agglutination inhibition assay. An agglutinator, consisting of a synthetic polymer containing multiple copies of the
immunoreactive portion of HbA1c, causes agglutination of latex coated with HbA1c specific mouse monoclonal antibodies. In the absence of HbA1c in the
sample, the antibody-coated microparticles in the HbA1c APT R1 and the agglutinator in the HbA1c APT R2 will agglutinate. Agglutination leads to an
increase in the absorbance of the suspension. The presence of HbA1c in the sample results in a decrease in the rate of agglutination of the HbA1c APT
R1 and the agglutinator in the HbA1c APT R2. The increase in absorbance is therefore inversely proportional to the concentration of HbA1c in the sample.
The increase in absorbance due to agglutination is measured at 700 nm.

Reagent Preparation
Total Hemoglobin APT R1 and HbA1c APT R2 are ready for use, and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
HbA1c APT R1 and HbA1c APT Denaturant R1 should be mixed by inversion 5 – 10 times before placing on board the instrument and at weekly intervals
thereafter.
Do not mix reagents between kit lots. Do not top up reagent vials.
Test Procedure
Total Hemoglobin and HbA1c tests must be performed on each pre-treated sample and control. Refer to the appropriate User’s Guide and the
accompanying Instrument Setting Sheets for analyser-specific assay instructions.
Calibration
HbA1c Calibrator Cat. No.: ODR3032.
Calibrator 1 is used for calibration of the Total Hemoglobin APT assay only.
Calibrators 1 to 6 are used for calibration of the HbA1c APT assay.
Note: Calibrators do not require pre-treatment with HbA1c APT Denaturant.
For calibration procedure, please refer to HbA1c Calibrator ODR3032 Instructions for Use.
Recalibrate the assay every 14 days, or when the following occur:
Change in reagent bottle or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed, on the Beckman Coulter analyser for acceptability. Quality control procedures should
be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good laboratory practice.

Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.

Summary1,2,3,4
Immunoglobulin classes IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD and IgE are present in descending order of concentration in the serum of healthy people. IgG which consists of
four subclasses, comprises approximately 75% of total immunoglobulins and 10 – 20% of total serum protein. Approximately one half of total body IgG is
present in plasma while the other half, because of IgG's low molecular weight (150 kDa), is distributed in the interstitial fluid to act against tissue infection.
IgG is particularly important in the body's long-term defence against infection as it presents a slower but more sustained response than IgM to primary
antigenic stimulus; however, the levels of IgG rise rapidly and early on re-exposure to the same antigenic stimulus. IgG promotes phagocytosis and
activates complement.
Changes in serum immunoglobulin concentrations can be classified as follows:
- Hypogammaglobulinemias, IgG deficiency may be genetic as in severe combined immunodeficiency or acquired as in AIDS. Definitive diagnosis of the
clinical syndrome requires extensive evaluation of humoral and cellular functions in the immune response. A decrease in IgG also occurs as a result of
thermal burns, nephrotic syndrome, protein losing enteropathies and non-IgG myelomas.
- Polyclonal gammopathies, levels of IgG are increased in autoimmune diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's
syndrome), sarcoidosis, chronic liver disease, some parasitic diseases and chronic or recurrent infections.
- Monoclonal gammopathies, e.g. in IgG type multilple myeloma, lymphomas, leukemia, and other malignancies.
IgG is the only immunoglobulin that crosses the placenta and is therefore of special importance in the infant’s defence against infection.
IgG determination in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is used for evaluation of infections involving the central nervous system, neoplasms or primary neurological
diseases. CSF IgG measurements may be used to determine the IgG CSF/albumin CSF ratio which is an important factor in differentiating between
intrathecal and localised synthesis of IgG.
Test Principle
When a sample is mixed with R1 buffer and R2 antiserum solution, human IgG reacts specifically with anti-human IgG antibodies to yield insoluble
aggregates. The absorbance of these aggregates is proportional to the IgG concentration in the sample.
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
Serum and EDTA or heparinised plasma
5
Stable in serum and plasma for 8 months when stored at 2…8°C and 4 months when stored at 15…25 °C.
Strongly lipemic samples should be avoided.
6
Cerebrospinal fluid: Stable for 72 hours when stored at 4°C. Stable for 6 months when stored frozen at -20 °C.
For CSF determinations, strongly icteric or turbid samples should be avoided.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
The paediatric application is suitable for use with small volume serum/plasma samples.
Data check parameters are required, see setting sheets for specific instrument details.
Calibration
Serum Protein Multi-Calibrator ODR3021
The calibrator IgG values are traceable to IFCC (International Federation of Clinical Chemistry) standard CRM 470.
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed, on the Beckman Coulter analyser, for acceptability using the software options -
Routine, Calibration Monitor, Calibration Curve. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good
laboratory practice.
For CSF application, recalibrate every 2 days.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the IgG concentration of each sample.
Reference Intervals7
Adults (Serum) 7 – 16 g/L (700 – 1600 mg/dL)
8
CSF 15 – 20 y 35 mg/L ± 20 mg/L
21 – 40 y 42 mg/L ± 14 mg/L
41 – 60 y 47 mg/L ± 10 mg/L
IgG Index 0.3 – 0.6
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.
Linearity
Serum: the test is linear within a concentration range of 0.75 – 30.0 g/L (75 – 3000 mg/dL).
CSF: the test is linear within a concentration range of 20 – 500 mg/L (2.0 – 50 mg/dL)
Precision
The following data was obtained on an AU640 analyser using 3 serum pools analysed over 20 days:
n = 80 Within Run Total
Mean g/L SD CV% SD CV%
4.31 0.05 1.14 0.14 3.29

The following data was obtained on an AU640 analyser using 3 CSF pools analysed over 20 days:
n = 80 Within Run Total
Mean mg/L SD CV% SD CV%
34.86 0.93 2.68 3.32 9.53
101.34 0.90 0.89 3.72 3.67
355.74 3.29 0.93 10.01 2.81
Sensitivity
The lowest detectable level in serum on an AU640 analyser was estimated at 0.004 g/L.
The lowest detectable level in CSF on an AU640 analyser was estimated at 4.20 mg/L.
The lowest detectable level represents the lowest measurable level of IgG immunoglobulins that can be distinguished from zero. It is calculated as the
absolute mean plus three standard deviations of 20 replicates of an analyte free sample.
Method Comparison
Patient serum samples were used to compare this IgG assay on the AU2700 against another commercially available IgG assay. Results of linear
regression analysis were as follows:
y = 0.945x + 0.372 r = 0.998 n = 120 Sample range = 1.18 – 29.73 g/L
Patient CSF samples were used to compare this IgG assay on the AU2700 against another commercially available IgG assay. Results of linear regression
were as follows.
y = 0.962x - 3.451 r = 0.997 n = 86 Sample range = 20.59 – 441.85 mg/L
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to interference were as follows:
Serum Icterus: Interference less than 3% up to 40 mg/dL or 684 µmol/L bilirubin
Haemolysis: Interference less than 3% up to 5 g/L haemoglobin
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 10% up to 1000 mg/dL Intralipid
RF: Interference less than 10% up to 1200 IU/mL
CSF Icterus: Interference less than 10% up to 36 mg/dL or 205 µmol/L bilirubin
Haemolysis: Interference less than 10% up to 5 g/L haemoglobin
9
Refer to Young for further information on interfering substances.
Limitations
The IgG assay has been optimised to reduce the risk of prozone occurrence in the presence of abnormally high immunoglobulin concentrations.
However, as a precaution samples from patients with suspected paraproteinaemia should also be tested by electrophoresis.
Samples with very high IgG concentrations (> 300 g/L polyclonal) can generate false low results without appropriate "Z" flags due to excess antigen in the
sample.
When running elevated samples on any of the AU system analysers, “F” flags or a combination of “F” and “Z” flags may be obtained. Such samples should
be diluted using physiological saline so as to recover close to the middle of the measuring range.
Samples with extremely abnormal optical characteristics, especially turbidity, may produce atypical results.
The result of IgG CSF samples may be elevated when immediately following a serum sample. In order to eliminate this effect, it is recommended to:
(a) Calibrate CSF IgG separately to other calibrators
(b) Avoid freely alternating serum and CSF samples
(c) When changing from serum to CSF samples, place a sample cup containing 2% Wash Solution Cat. No.: OSR0001 in the first position of the rack and
requisition a test for this sample.

Summary1,2
Prealbumin (transthyretin), a nonglycosylated tetrameric protein composed of four identical subunits is primarily synthesised in the liver. It binds and
transports approximately 10% of both serum thyroxine and triiodothyronine and also plays a significant role in the metabolism of vitamin A by complexing
with retinol-binding protein. Because of its relatively short half life, a high tryptophan content, a high proportion of essential to non essential amino acids,
and small pool size, prealbumin is an excellent indicator of protein status (levels fall during periods of protein malnutrition).It is a negative acute phase
reactant whose levels also fall in inflammation and malignancy as well as in cirrhosis of the liver and protein wasting diseases of the gut or kidneys,
because of decreased synthesis and to a lesser extent increased degradation. Other acute phase proteins may be assayed to differentiate whether a
decrease in prealbumin is due to malnutrition or inflammation. A number of genetic variants have been described of which most are associated with
extracelluar deposition of amyloid fibrils in various tissues. Levels of prealbumin increase in Hodgkin's disease.
Test Principle
When a sample is mixed with R1 buffer and R2 antiserum solution, human prealbumin reacts specifically with the anti-human prealbumin antibodies to
yield insoluble aggregates. The absorbance of these aggregates is proportional to the prealbumin concentration in the sample.
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen
3
Serum: Stable for 6 months when stored at 2…8°C and 3 days when stored at 15…25°C.
Strongly lipemic samples should be avoided.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User Guide and Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions for the sample type as listed in the Intended Use statement.
Calibration
Prealbumin Calibrator Cat. No. ODR3029.
The calibrator prealbumin values are traceable to IFCC (International Federation of Clinical Chemistry) standard CRM 470.
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent lot or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed, on the Beckman Coulter analyser, for acceptability using the software options -
Routine, Calibration Monitor, Calibration Curve. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good
laboratory practice.
Quality Control
ITA Control Sera ODC0014, ODC0015 and ODC0016 or other control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Please note that the recovery of non-Beckman Coulter controls may vary with reagent lots of immunoassay products, due to the use of non-human
materials in the controls.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the prealbumin concentration of each sample.
Reference Intervals4
Serum (Adults) 0.2 – 0.4 g/L (20 – 40 mg/dL)
Expected values may vary with age, sex, sample type, diet and geographical location. Each laboratory should verify the transferability of the expected
values to its own population, and if necessary determine its own reference interval according to good laboratory practice. For diagnostic purposes, results
should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examinations and other findings.

Specific performance characteristics
Data contained within this section is representative of performance on Beckman Coulter systems. Data obtained in your laboratory may differ from these
values.
Linearity
The test is linear within a concentration range of 0.03 – 0.8 g/L (3 – 80 mg/dL).
Precision
The following data was obtained on an AU600 using 3 serum pools analysed over 10 days.
n = 60 Within Run Total
Mean g/L SD CV% SD CV%
0.06 0.001 2.06 0.001 3.10
0.45 0.01 1.12 0.01 1.86
0.70 0.01 1.90 0.02 2.76
Sensitivity
The lowest detectable level on an AU600 analyser was estimated at 0.004 g/L.
The lowest detectable level represents the lowest measurable level of prealbumin that can be distinguished from zero. It is calculated as the absolute mean
plus three standard deviations of 20 replicates of an analyte free sample.
Method Comparison
Patient serum samples were used to compare this Prealbumin OSR6175 assay on the AU600 against another commercially available prealbumin assay.
Results of linear regression analysis were as follows:
y = 0.963x - 0.018 r = 0.974 n = 70 Sample range = 0.05 – 0.40 g/L
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to interference were as follows:
Icterus: Interference less than 3% up to 40 mg/dL or 684 µmol/L bilirubin
Haemolysis: Interference less than 3% up to 5 g/L haemoglobin
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 10% up to 500 mg/dL Intralipid
5
Refer to Young for further information on interfering substances.
Limitations
Samples with extremely abnormal optical characteristics, especially turbidity, may produce atypical results.

Summary1,2
Transferrin is the principle plasma protein for the transport of iron. Transferrin has two binding sites for iron; they are strong at physiological pH but weaken
with decreasing pH. Transferrin is largely but not exclusively synthesised by the liver.
Measurement of plasma transferrin levels is useful in the differential diagnosis of anemia, and will rise with iron deficiency anemia. In congenital
atransferrinemia, a very low level of transferrin is accompanied by iron overload and a severe hypochromic anemia resistant to iron therapy. High levels of
transferrin occur in pregnancy and during oestrogen administration. It is decreased in conditions, which are associated with increased protein loss such as
nephrotic syndrome, protein-deficiency states, and in chronic liver disease. Transferrin is a negative acute phase reactant and will decrease during any
inflammatory state or malignancy.
Transferrin is often used in conjunction with iron to calculate transferrin saturation.
Test Principle
When a sample is mixed with R1 buffer and R2 antiserum solution, human transferrin reacts specifically with anti-human transferrin antibodies to yield
insoluble aggregates. The absorbance of these aggregates is proportional to the transferrin concentration in the sample.
Reagent Preparation
The reagents are ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument.
Specimen

access the Calibration Monitor. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good laboratory
practice.

Summary
1
Carbamazepine is an anticonvulsant drug, used in particular for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia , all forms of partial epilepsy, generalised tonic-clonic
2-4
seizures, and simple and complex partial seizures. Effective serum concentration of carbamazepine is essential for seizure control. However, serum
5,6
carbamazepine concentrations show only a moderate correlation to dose, due to individual differences in absorption, metabolism and clearance.
6
Moreover, co-administration of other antiepileptic agents can significantly increase serum carbamazepine levels.
2-4
Toxicity of carbamazepine associated with therapy may or may not be dose related. However, the central nervous system symptoms of vertigo,
dizziness, and diplopia are dose-related with chronic therapy. In conjunction with other clinical information, monitoring carbamazepine levels will provide
physicians with an effective tool to aid in adjusting dosage and achieving optimal therapeutic effect while avoiding both subtherapeutic and toxic drug
levels.
Test Principle7
This assay is based on the bacterial enzyme β-galactosidase, which has been genetically engineered into two inactive fragments. These fragments
spontaneously reassociate to form fully active enzyme that, in the assay format, cleaves a substrate, generating a colour change that can be measured
spectrophotometrically.
In the assay, analyte in the sample competes with analyte conjugated to one inactive fragment of β-galactosidase for antibody binding site. If analyte is
present in the sample, it binds to antibody, leaving the inactive enzyme fragments free to form active enzyme. If analyte is not present in the sample,
antibody binds to analyte conjugated on the inactive fragment, inhibiting the reassociation of inactive β-galactosidase fragments, and no active enzyme will
be formed.
The amount of active enzyme formed and resultant absorbance change are directly proportional to the amount of drug present in the sample.
Reagent Composition
R1 Buffer MOPS (3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid buffer), mouse monoclonal anti-carbamazepine antibodies, stabiliser and preservative.
R1 Lyo Enzyme acceptor, stabiliser, buffer salts and preservative.
R2 Buffer MES (2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid buffer) and preservative.
R2 Lyo Enzyme donor conjugated to carbamazepine, chlorophenol red-β-D-galactopyranoside, buffer salts, stabiliser and preservative.
Safety Phrases:
S36, S60. Wear suitable protective clothing. This material and its container must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
Reagent Preparation
Remove the kit from refrigerated storage (2…8°C) immediately prior to preparation of the solutions.
NOTE 1: The components supplied in this kit are intended for use as an integral unit. Do not mix components from different lots.
NOTE 2: Avoid cross-contamination of reagents by matching reagent caps to the appropriate reagent bottle. The R2 working solution (enzyme donor)
should be yellow-orange in colour. A dark red or purple-red colour indicates that the reagent has been contaminated and must be discarded.
NOTE 3: The R1 and R2 solutions must be at the reagent compartment temperature of the analyser before performing the assay.
NOTE 4: To ensure reconstituted R1 stability, protect from prolonged, continuous exposure to bright light.
NOTE 5: Do not freeze reconstituted reagents.
Specimen
Serum or plasma (Na or Li heparin; Na EDTA) may be used.
Stable in serum and plasma for 7 days when stored at 2…8°C and 4 weeks when stored at -20˚C.
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User’s Guide and the accompanying Instrument Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions.
Calibration
Core TDM Multi-calibrator, Cat. No. ODC6411.
The calibrator values provided in the calibrator package insert are traceable to a primary gravimetric standard.
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent bottle or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed, on the Beckman Coulter analyser, for acceptability using the software options -
Routine, Calibration Monitor, Calibration Curve. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good
laboratory practice.
Quality Control
Control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the carbamazepine concentration of each sample.
Expected Values
4,8
The effective serum/plasma carbamazepine concentrations for seizure control have been reported as 8 – 12 µg/mL for adults receiving carbamazepine
5,9-12
as the sole antiepileptic agent. Other therapeutic ranges for carbamazepine have also been suggested
The expected range provided is only a guide for drug dosage. Prior to the adjustment of dose, results should always be assessed in conjunction with other
available information such as patients medical history, mode of drug administration, timing of sample collection, other drug treatments and clinical
13
symptoms.
Linearity
The test is linear within a concentration range of 0.5 µg/mL and the value of the highest calibrator (approximately 20 µg/mL or 84.6 µmol/L).
Specimen results greater than the highest calibrator can be reported as greater than the value of the highest calibrator or diluted one part sample with one
part Core TDM Multi-Calibrator 1 and reassayed. The value obtained on reassay should be derived as follows:
Samples reported as less than the analytical range can be confirmed by diluting one part sample of known value with one part of the original patient
sample. The assayed result of this dilution, when multiplied by 2, should approximate the original value of the known sample to confirm the low patient
result. The confirmed result should be reported as < 0.28 µg/mL. If the assayed result of the first dilution, when multiplied by 2, does not approximate the
original result of the known sample, further dilutions utilising saline are needed.
Precision
The following data was obtained on an AU2700 using serum pools and control sera. Two replicates of each sample were analysed twice daily over
20 days.
n = 80 Within Run Total
Mean µg/mL SD CV% SD CV%
4.2 0.14 3.3 0.28 6.7
7.1 0.14 2.0 0.34 4.8
12.1 0.22 1.8 0.50 4.1
Method Comparison
Patient serum samples were used to compare this Carbamazepine OSR6414 assay on the AU640 against another commercially available carbamazepine
assay. Results of linear regression analysis were as follows:
y = 0.942x – 0.07 r = 0.997 n = 135 Sample range = 0.5 – 26.4 µg/mL
Sensitivity
The lowest detectable level on an AU2700 analyser was estimated at 0.28 µg/mL.
The lowest detectable level (LDL) represents the lowest measurable level of carbamazepine that can be distinguished from zero. It is calculated as the
absolute mean plus three standard deviations of 25 replicates of an analyte free sample.
Interference
No significant interference (<10%) was observed with the following substances:
Substance Concentration Substance Concentration
Bilirubin ≤ 1026 µmol/L Total Protein ≤ 120 g/L
Haemoglobin ≤ 10 g/L Triglyceride ≤ 11.3 mmol/L
Rheumatoid Factor ≤ 180 IU/mL
TDM BLOSR6414.01 EN.01

Specificity
The following compounds when tested with the Carbamazepine assay, yielded the following percent cross-reactivity results:
Compound Concentration Tested (µg/mL) % Cross reactivity
Amitriptyline 100 18.6
Carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide 250 7.4
Diazepam 250 4.8
Imipramine 200 5.6
Methsuximide 1000 1.0
Nortriptyline 50 17.2
Phenothiazine 200 8.6
Probenecid 500 2.0
Limitations
• Samples containing antibodies to E. coli β-galactosidase may result in artificially high results which will not fit the clinical profile. The incidence of
patients having such antibodies is extremely low.
• As with any assay employing mouse antibodies, the possibility exists for interference by human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMA) in the sample, which
could cause falsely elevated results.

DIGITOXIN
OSR6403 2 x 21 mL R1
2 x 12.8 mL R2
Intended Use
Immuno-inhibition test for the quantitative determination of digitoxin in human serum on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use
only.
Summary
Digitoxin is a naturally occurring cardiac glycoside that is used to treat congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Its structure is the same as
digoxin except for the loss of the C-12 hydroxyl group. This difference results in digitoxin being more lipid soluble and highly bound to protein
with the effect that it has a relatively long half life of 5-7 days and requires higher concentrations to achieve therapeutic effectiveness. Cardiac
1
glycosides have a low therapeutic ratio (a very small difference between therapeutic and tissue toxic levels). There is a marked patient
2
variability in response to the same dose of drug, often resulting in unpredictable serum drug levels. Intoxication symptoms are often
indistinguishable from the original condition for which the drug was prescribed. It may not be immediately apparent whether the patient has been
under or overdosed. Monitoring serum digitoxin levels combined with other clinical data can provide the physician with useful information to aid
3,4
in adjusting patient dosage to achieve optimal therapeutic effect while avoiding useless subtherapeutic or harmful toxic dosage levels.
Test Principle
R1 contains a monoclonal antibody specific for digitoxin that binds to microparticles covalently coated with a digitoxin derivative in R2. The
resulting agglutination reaction causes an increase in turbidity, which can be measured spectrophotometrically at 700 nm. Digitoxin from the
sample competes with the microparticle-bound digitoxin for the antibody, thus inhibiting the agglutination reaction.
Contents, Reagent Composition in the Test
Final concentration of reactive ingredients:
Monoclonal anti-digitoxin antibody Variable
Digitoxin – derivative coated microspheres
Precautions and Warnings
Exercise the normal precautions required for handling all laboratory reagents.
To avoid the possible build-up of azide compounds, flush waste-pipes with water after the disposal of undiluted reagent.
Dispose of all waste material in accordance with local guidelines.
Reagent Preparation
R1 is ready for use and can be placed directly on board the instrument. R2 should be mixed by inversion 5 – 10 times before placing on board
the instrument and at fortnightly intervals thereafter.
Storage and Stability
The reagents are stable, unopened, up to the stated expiry date when stored at 2…8°C. Once open, reagents stored on board the instrument
are stable for 30 days.
Specimen5
Serum: Stable in serum for 3 months when stored at 2…8°C and 2 weeks when stored at 15…25°C.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User’s Guide and the accompanying Instrument Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions.
Calibration
Digitoxin Calibrator Cat. No. ODC6403.
These calibrators are gravimetrically prepared then verified by a commercially available process.
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent bottle or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed, on the Beckman Coulter analyser, for acceptability using the software
options - Routine, Calibration Monitor, Calibration Curve. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in
accordance with good laboratory practice.
Quality Control
Control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient
samples are tested and each time calibration/blanking is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory
generates analyte specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should
fall within the corresponding acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the digitoxin concentration of each sample.
Therapeutic Range6
Effective levels 13 – 39 nmol/L (10 – 30 ng/mL)
Toxic Levels >39 nmol/L (30 ng/mL)
Consider these ranges as guidelines only.
Specific performance characteristics
Data contained within this section is representative of performance on Beckman Coulter systems. Data obtained in your laboratory may differ
from these values.
EN.01 BLOSR6403.01 TDM
2009-08
Linearity
The test is linear within a concentration range of 0 – 118 nmol/L (0 - 90 ng/mL).
Samples reported as less than the analytical range can be confirmed by diluting one part sample of known value with one part of the original
patient sample. The assayed result of this dilution, when multiplied by 2, should approximate the original value of the known sample to confirm
the low patient result. The confirmed result should be reported as < 1.2 nmol/L. If the assayed result of the first dilution, when multiplied by 2,
does not approximate the original result of the known sample, further dilutions utilising saline are needed.
Precision
The following data was obtained on an AU640 using 3 serum pools analysed over 10 days.
n = 60 Within Run Total
Mean nmol/L SD CV% SD CV%
15.62 0.50 3.21 0.66 4.22
63.71 0.61 0.96 1.36 2.14
111.94 1.23 1.09 1.82 1.63
Sensitivity
The lowest detectable level on an AU640 analyser was estimated at 1.179 nmol/L.
The lowest detectable level represents the lowest measurable level of digitoxin that can be distinguished from zero. It is calculated as the
absolute mean plus three standard deviations of 20 replicates of an analyte free sample.
Method Comparison
Patient serum samples were used to compare this Digitoxin OSR6403 assay on the AU640 against another commercially available digitoxin
assay. Results of linear regression analysis were as follows:
y = 1.055x – 1.470 r = 0.961 n = 108 Sample range = 4.59 – 62.36 nmol/L
Interfering Substances
Results of studies conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to interference were as follows:
Icterus: Interference less than 5% up to 40 mg/dL or 684 µmol/L bilirubin
Haemolysis: Interference less than 5% up to 5 g/L haemoglobin
®
Lipemia: Interference less than 5% up to 1000 mg/dL Intralipid
RF: Interference less than 10% up to 505 IU/mL RF
7
Refer to Young for further information on interfering substances.
Specificity
The following compounds have been tested for cross reactivity in the assay.
Substance Conc. Tested ng/mL Cross-reaction (%)
Digitoxigenin 12.5 332.0
Digitoxigenin-bis-digitoxide 25 144.4
Digitoxigenin-mono-digitoxide 25 168.5
Dihydrodigitoxigenin 25 19.5
Digoxin 25 17.8
Digoxigenin-mono-digitoxide 25 18.4
Digoxigenin-bis-digitoxide 25 11.4
Digoxigenin 25 17.5
A cross-reaction of less than 10% was found for the following: Dihydrodigoxin, 20,22-Dihydrodigoxigenin, Prednisone, Testosterone, and
Oubain.
Limitations
As with any assay employing mouse antibodies, the possibility exists for interference by human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMA) in the sample,
which could cause falsely elevated results.
®
Digoxin Immune Fab, such as Digibind, will interfere with digitalis immunoassay measurements. Thus, the standard serum digitoxin
concentration measurement can be clinically misleading until the Fab fragment is eliminated from the body. Serum digitoxin concentration
® 8
should be obtained before administration of Digibind if at all possible.
In rare cases, samples from digitalised patients may yield clinically implausible values of 0.0 ng/mL digitoxin. In such cases the analysis must be
repeated following ultrafiltration of the samples (exclusion threshold: MW 100,000).

Intended Use
Immuno-inhibition test for the quantitative determination of digoxin in human serum on Beckman Coulter analysers. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary
Digoxin is a potent cardiac glycoside widely prescribed for the treatment of patients suffering from congestive heart failure, as well as some types of cardiac
arrhythmias. Digoxin intoxication is a common and serious problem in the clinical setting, which can result from a combination of factors. Cardiac

A cross-reaction of less than 1% was found for the following: Dehydroisoandrosterone, Digitonin, Digitoxigenin, D-Digitoxose,
11α-Hydroxyprogesterone, 17α-Hydroxyprogesterone, β-Estradiol, Estriol, Oubain, Prednisone, Prednisolone, Progesterone, Spironolacetone.
Limitations
As with any assay employing mouse antibodies, the possibility exists for interference by human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMA) in the sample, which could
cause falsely elevated results.
The sera from patients in specific patient populations (i.e. patients with renal and/or hepatic failure, newborn infants and pregnant women) have been
8-14
reported to contain an unidentified component that gives positive results with a number of immunoassays. This component has been termed digoxin-like
immunoreactive factor (DLIF). The presence of DLIF in a sample can result in falsely elevated digoxin assay results. The amount of DLIF in these patient
9-12
samples is extremely variable, but in some cases these levels have been shown to approach concentrations that are in the therapeutic range of digoxin.

Digoxin Immune Fab, such as Digibind , will interfere with digitalis immunoassay measurements. Thus, the standard serum digoxin concentration
measurement can be clinically misleading until the Fab fragment is eliminated from the body. Serum digoxin concentration should be obtained before

administration of Digibind if at all possible.
In rare cases, samples from digitalised patients may yield clinically implausible values of 0.0 ng/mL digoxin. In such cases the analysis must be repeated
following ultrafiltration of the samples (exclusion threshold: MW 100,000).

Gentamycin
OSR6420 2 x 12 mL R1 Buffer
2x R1 Lyo
2 x 9 mL R2 Buffer
2x R2 Lyo
Intended Use
Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative determination of gentamycin in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For
in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary
Gentamycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used in the treatment of infections caused by E. coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, Serratia, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and other microorganisms. Gentamycin’s toxic effect is produced by interfering
1,2
with ribosomal protein synthesis. Gentamycin undergoes very little, if any, metabolisation and is, therefore, eliminated as the parent drug by glomerular
filtration.
The therapeutic range should be measured at peak as well as trough concentrations. Peak serum or plasma concentrations of gentamycin are suggested
to ensure that adequate antimicrobial activity is obtained. Trough gentamycin concentrations usually ensure that drug elimination is adequate and the drug
concentration is above minimum inhibitory concentration. Serum or plasma gentamycin concentration is impacted by the mode of administration, the
volume of extracellular fluid, the duration of the treatment and physiological changes during the illness and therapy. Therefore, monitoring of peak and
3,4
trough gentamycin serum or plasma levels is critical in the prevention of serious complications with the adjustment of dosage administration as indicated.
Test Principle5
This assay is based on the bacterial enzyme β-galactosidase, which has been genetically engineered into two inactive fragments. These fragments
spontaneously reassociate to form fully active enzyme that, in the assay format, cleaves a substrate, generating a colour change that can be measured
spectrophotometrically.
In the assay, analyte in the sample competes with analyte conjugated to one inactive fragment of β-galactosidase for antibody binding site. If analyte is
present in the sample, it binds to antibody, leaving the inactive enzyme fragments free to form active enzyme. If analyte is not present in the sample,
antibody binds to analyte conjugated on the inactive fragment, inhibiting the reassociation of inactive β-galactosidase fragments, and no active enzyme will
be formed.
The amount of active enzyme formed and resultant absorbance change are directly proportional to the amount of drug present in the sample.
Reagent Composition
R1 Buffer MOPS (3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid buffer), buffer salts, surfactant and preservative.
R1 Lyo Enzyme acceptor, mouse monoclonal anti-gentamycin antibody, buffer salts, stabiliser and preservative
R2 Buffer MOPS (3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid buffer), buffer salts, surfactant and preservative
R2 Lyo Enzyme donor conjugated to gentamycin, chlorophenol red-β-D-galactopyranoside, goat anti-mouse antibodies, buffer salts, stabiliser and
preservative.
Reagent Preparation
Remove the kit from refrigerated storage (2…8°C) immediately prior to preparation of the solutions.
Prepare the R2 solution before the R1 solution to minimise possible contamination.
R2 (Enzyme donor solution):
Connect the R2 lyo bottle to the R2 buffer bottle using one of the enclosed adapters. Mix by gentle inversion, ensuring that all the lyophilised material from
the R2 lyo bottle is transferred into the R2 buffer bottle. Avoid the formation of foam. Detach the R2 lyo bottle and adapter from the R2 buffer bottle and
discard. Cap the R2 buffer bottle and let stand for approximately 5 minutes at 15…25°C. Mix again. Record the reconstitution date on the bottle label. Place
the bottle directly into the reagent compartment of the analyser or into refrigerated storage (2…8°C) and let stand for at least 30 minutes. Ensure the
reagent is homogeneous before use.
R1 (Enzyme acceptor solution):
Connect the R1 lyo bottle to the R1 buffer bottle using one of the enclosed adapters. Mix by gentle inversion, ensuring that all the lyophilised material from
the R1 lyo bottle is transferred into the R1 buffer bottle. Avoid the formation of foam. Detach the R1 lyo bottle and adapter from the R1 buffer bottle and
discard. Cap the R1 buffer bottle and let stand for approximately 5 minutes at 15…25°C. Mix again. Record the reconstitution date on the bottle label. Place
the bottle directly into the reagent compartment of the analyser or into refrigerated storage (2…8°C) and let stand for at least 30 minutes. Ensure the
reagent is homogeneous before use.
NOTE 1: The components supplied in this kit are intended for use as an integral unit. Do not mix components from different lots.
NOTE 2: Avoid cross-contamination of reagents by matching reagent caps to the appropriate reagent bottle. The R2 working solution (enzyme donor)
should be yellow-orange in colour. A dark red or purple-red colour indicates that the reagent has been contaminated and must be discarded.
NOTE 3: The R1 and R2 solutions must be at the reagent compartment temperature of the analyser before performing the assay.
NOTE 4: To ensure reconstituted R1 stability, protect from prolonged, continuous exposure to bright light.
NOTE 5: Do not freeze reconstituted reagents.
Specimen
Serum or plasma (Na or Li heparin; Na EDTA) may be used.
Stable in serum and plasma for 7 days when stored at 2…8°C and 4 weeks when stored at -20°C.
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User’s Guide and the accompanying Instrument Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions.
Calibration
Antibiotic TDM Multi-Calibrator, Cat. No. ODC6413.
The calibrator values provided in the calibrator package insert are traceable to a primary gravimetric standard.
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent bottle or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed, on the Beckman Coulter analyser, for acceptability using the software options -
Routine, Calibration Monitor, Calibration Curve. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good
laboratory practice.
Quality Control
Control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the gentamycin concentration of each sample.
Expected Values
In most adults a peak therapeutic response is achieved with gentamycin concentrations between 5-8 µg/mL. Trough concentrations between 1-2 µg/mL
1,4 2-3,6-8
usually ensure that drug elimination is adequate. Different gentamycin therapeutic ranges have also ben reported by other investigators.
The expected range provided is only a guide for drug dosage. Prior to the adjustment of dose, results should always be assessed in conjunction with other
available information such as patients medical history, mode of drug administration, timing of sample collection, other drug treatments and clinical
9
symptoms.
Method Comparison
Patient serum samples were used to compare this Gentamycin OSR6420 assay on the AU640 against another commercially available gentamycin assay.
Results of linear regression analysis were as follows:
y = 0.984x + 0.13 r= 0.999 n = 135 Sample range = 0.2– 17.3 µg/mL
Sensitivity
The lowest detectable level on an AU640 analyser was estimated at 0.13 µg/mL.
The lowest detectable level (LDL) represents the lowest measurable level of gentamycin that can be distinguished from zero. It is calculated as the
absolute mean plus three standard deviations of 25 replicates of an analyte free sample.
Interference
No significant interference (<10%) was observed with the following substances:
Substance Concentration Substance Concentration
Bilirubin ≤ 1026 µmol/L IgM ≤ 26 g/L
Haemoglobin ≤ 10 g/L Total Protein ≤ 120 g/L
IgA ≤ 27 g/L Triglyceride ≤ 11.3 mmol/L
IgG ≤ 51 g/L Rheumatoid Factor ≤ 1270 IU/mL
Limitations
• Samples containing antibodies to E. coli β-galactosidase may result in artificially high results which will not fit the clinical profile. The incidence of
patients having such antibodies is extremely low.
• As with any assay employing mouse antibodies, the possibility exists for interference by human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMA) in the sample, which
could cause falsely elevated results.
• Sisomicin shows significant cross reaction (>50%) with the Gentamycin assay. Gentamycin results from patients receiving this drug should be
interpreted with care.
• Carryover from reagents containing gentamycin may cause spuriously high results. Please pay specific attention to the contamination parameters
provided in the setting sheet. In order to optimise workflow it is recommended to assay specimens for gentamycin in batches.

Intended Use
Enzymatic test for the quantitative determination of Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers.
For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary1,2,3,4,5
Paracetamol is a drug commonly used for its analgesic and antipyretic properties. However, excessive long term use has been reported to lead to
hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. Paracetamol overdose can lead to severe hepatic damage and can result in hepatic failure and death if left untreated.
Early diagnosis of paracetamol overdose is important, as initiation of therapy within 16 hours of ingestion reduces the potential for hepatic injury and
decreases the rate of mortality.
Test Principle6
Paracetamol in the sample is hydrolysed by aryl acylamidase to yield p-aminophenol and acetic acid. The p-aminophenol formed reacts specifically with
o-cresol and ammoniacal copper sulphate, to form indophenol. The change in absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of paracetamol
present in the sample, and is measured at 600nm. The assay is specific for the parent compound and does not detect paracetamol metabolites.

Intended Use
Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative determination of phenobarbital in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For
in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary
1,2
Phenobarbital has been widely prescribed for the treatment of epilepsy, particularly for controlling focal motor or sensory and grand mal seizures. After
3
oral doses of 2 to 3 mg/kg, phenobarbital is almost completely absorbed with peak levels achieved by 12 to 18 hours. Phenobarbital in circulation is
4
approximately 40% to 50% bound to plasma proteins with relatively low association constants. The major metabolic pathway of phenobarbital is
hydroxylation of the phenyl ring to p-hydroxyphenobarbital, an agent devoid of hypnotic activity, which is then excreted in the urine in equal amounts of the
4
free form and the form conjugated with glucuronic acid. Phenobarbital concentrations of 15-40 µg/mL in serum are normally considered to be within the
5,6
therapeutic range for maximum seizure control.
The need for monitoring phenobarbital concentrations is due to the narrow therapeutic index and the wide variability in individual rates of drug absorption,
7
metabolism, and clearance. Toxicity of phenobarbital therapy includes sedation, nystagmus, ataxia, paradoxical excitement, blood dyscrasia (including
coagulation defects in neonates of mothers given the drug during pregnancy), non-specific hepatic changes, rash (including severe exfoliative forms),
3,8-10
osteomalacia, the shoulder-hand syndrome and coma. In combination with other clinical information, monitoring serum or plasma phenobarbital levels
will provide physicians with an essential tool to aid in adjusting dosage and achieving optimal therapeutic effect, while avoiding both sub-therapeutic and
harmful toxic drug levels.
Test Principle11
This assay is based on the bacterial enzyme β-galactosidase, which has been genetically engineered into two inactive fragments. These fragments
spontaneously reassociate to form fully active enzyme that, in the assay format, cleaves a substrate, generating a colour change that can be measured
spectrophotometrically.
In the assay, analyte in the sample competes with analyte conjugated to one inactive fragment of β-galactosidase for antibody binding site. If analyte is
present in the sample, it binds to antibody, leaving the inactive enzyme fragments free to form active enzyme. If analyte is not present in the sample,
antibody binds to analyte conjugated on the inactive fragment, inhibiting the reassociation of inactive β-galactosidase fragments, and no active enzyme will
be formed.
The amount of active enzyme formed and resultant absorbance change are directly proportional to the amount of drug present in the sample.

Reagent Preparation
Remove the kit from refrigerated storage (2…8°C) immediately prior to preparation of the solutions.
Prepare the R1 solution before the R2 solution to minimise possible contamination.
R1 (Enzyme donor solution):
Connect the R1 lyo bottle to the R1 buffer bottle using one of the enclosed adapters. Mix by gentle inversion, ensuring that all the lyophilised material from
the R1 lyo bottle is transferred into the R1 buffer bottle. Avoid the formation of foam. Detach the R1 lyo bottle and adapter from the R1 buffer bottle and
discard. Cap the R1 buffer bottle and let stand for approximately 5 minutes at 15…25°C. Mix again. Record the reconstitution date on the bottle label. Place
the bottle directly into the reagent compartment of the analyser or into refrigerated storage (2…8°C) and let stand for at least 30 minutes. Ensure the
reagent is homogeneous before use.
R2 (Enzyme acceptor solution):
Connect the R2 lyo bottle to the R2 buffer bottle using one of the enclosed adapters. Mix by gentle inversion, ensuring that all the lyophilised material from
the R2 lyo bottle is transferred into the R2 buffer bottle. Avoid the formation of foam. Detach the R2 lyo bottle and adapter from the R2 buffer bottle and
discard. Cap the R2 buffer bottle and let stand for approximately 5 minutes at 15…25°C. Mix again. Record the reconstitution date on the bottle label. Place
the bottle directly into the reagent compartment of the analyser or into refrigerated storage (2…8°C) and let stand for at least 30 minutes. Ensure the
reagent is homogeneous before use.
NOTE 1: The components supplied in this kit are intended for use as an integral unit. Do not mix components from different lots.
NOTE 2: Avoid cross-contamination of reagents by matching reagent caps to the appropriate reagent bottle. The R1 working solution (enzyme donor)
should be yellow-orange in colour. A dark red or purple-red colour indicates that the reagent has been contaminated and must be discarded.
NOTE 3: The R1 and R2 solutions must be at the reagent compartment temperature of the analyser before performing the assay.
NOTE 4: To ensure reconstituted R2 stability, protect from prolonged, continuous exposure to bright light.
NOTE 5: Do not freeze reconstituted reagents.

Phenytoin
OSR6411 2 x 16 mL R1 Buffer

2 x 16 mL R2 Buffer
2x R2 Lyo
Intended Use
Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative determination of phenytoin in human serum and plasma on Beckman Coulter analysers. For
in vitro diagnostic use only.
Summary
Phenytoin (diphenylhydantoin) is one of the most widely prescribed anti-convulsant drugs for the treatment of epilepsy, particularly grand mal epilepsy
1
(major motor), cortical focal seizures and temporal lobe epilepsy.
2-7 2
Phenytoin concentrations of 10 to 20 µg/mL for adults and 6 to 14 µg/mL for children in serum are considered to be the therapeutic range for maximum
5,6
seizure control. The toxicity of phenytoin is often dose-related and affects mainly the central nervous system. Monitoring phenytoin concentrations in
serum is essential during therapy by providing physicians with an index for adjusting dosage, to achieve optimal therapeutic effect and avoid both
1,7
subtherapeutic and harmful toxic drug levels.
Test Principle8
This assay is based on the bacterial enzyme β-galactosidase, which has been genetically engineered into two inactive fragments. These fragments
spontaneously reassociate to form fully active enzyme that, in the assay format, cleaves a substrate, generating a colour change that can be measured
spectrophotometrically.
In the assay, analyte in the sample competes with analyte conjugated to one inactive fragment of β-galactosidase for antibody binding site. If analyte is
present in the sample, it binds to antibody, leaving the inactive enzyme fragments free to form active enzyme. If analyte is not present in the sample,
antibody binds to analyte conjugated on the inactive fragment, inhibiting the reassociation of inactive β-galactosidase fragments, and no active enzyme will
be formed.
The amount of active enzyme formed and resultant absorbance change are directly proportional to the amount of drug present in the sample.
Reagent Composition
R1 Buffer MOPS (3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid buffer), mouse monoclonal anti-phenytoin antibody, buffer salts, stabiliser and preservative.
R1 Lyo Enzyme acceptor, releasing agent, detergent, buffer salts and preservative.
R2 Buffer MOPS (3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid buffer), buffer salts and preservative.
R2 Lyo Enzyme donor conjugated to phenytoin, chlorophenol red-β-D-galactopyranoside, buffer salts, stabiliser and preservative.
Reagent Preparation
Remove the kit from refrigerated storage (2…8°C) immediately prior to preparation of the solutions.
Prepare the R2 solution before the R1 solution to minimise possible contamination.
R2 (Enzyme donor solution):
Connect the R2 lyo bottle to the R2 buffer bottle using one of the enclosed adapters. Mix by gentle inversion, ensuring that all the lyophilised material from
the R2 lyo bottle is transferred into the R2 buffer bottle. Avoid the formation of foam. Detach the R2 lyo bottle and adapter from the R2 buffer bottle and
discard. Cap the R2 buffer bottle and let stand for approximately 5 minutes at 15…25°C. Mix again. Record the reconstitution date on the bottle label. Place
the bottle directly into the reagent compartment of the analyser or into refrigerated storage (2…8°C) and let stand for at least 30 minutes. Ensure the
reagent is homogeneous before use.
R1 (Enzyme acceptor solution):
Connect the R1 lyo bottle to the R1 buffer bottle using one of the enclosed adapters. Mix by gentle inversion, ensuring that all the lyophilised material from
the R1 lyo bottle is transferred into the R1 buffer bottle. Avoid the formation of foam. Detach the R1 lyo bottle and adapter from the R1 buffer bottle and
discard. Cap the R1 buffer bottle and let stand for approximately 5 minutes at 15…25°C. Mix again. Record the reconstitution date on the bottle label. Place
the bottle directly into the reagent compartment of the analyser or into refrigerated storage (2…8°C) and let stand for at least 30 minutes. Ensure the
reagent is homogeneous before use.
NOTE 1: The components supplied in this kit are intended for use as an integral unit. Do not mix components from different lots.
NOTE 2: Avoid cross-contamination of reagents by matching reagent caps to the appropriate reagent bottle. The R2 working solution (enzyme donor)
should be yellow-orange in colour. A dark red or purple-red colour indicates that the reagent has been contaminated and must be discarded.
NOTE 3: The R1 and R2 solutions must be at the reagent compartment temperature of the analyser before performing the assay.
NOTE 4: To ensure reconstituted R1 stability, protect from prolonged, continuous exposure to bright light.
NOTE 5: Do not freeze reconstituted reagents.

Test Procedure
Refer to the appropriate User’s Guide and the accompanying Instrument Setting Sheet for analyser-specific assay instructions.
Calibration
Core TDM Multi-calibrator, Cat. No. ODC6411
The calibrator values provided in the calibrator package insert are traceable to a primary gravimetric standard.
Recalibrate the assay when the following occur:
Change in reagent bottle or significant shift in control values;
Major preventative maintenance was performed on the analyser or a critical part was replaced.
Following calibration, the resulting curve should be visually reviewed, on the Beckman Coulter analyser, for acceptability using the software options -
Routine, Calibration Monitor, Calibration Curve. Quality control procedures should be undertaken immediately following calibration in accordance with good
laboratory practice.
Quality Control
Control materials with values determined by this Beckman Coulter system may be used.
Each laboratory should establish its own control frequency however good laboratory practice suggests that controls be tested each day patient samples
are tested and each time calibration is performed.
The results obtained by any individual laboratory may vary from the given mean value. It is therefore recommended that each laboratory generates analyte
specific control target values and intervals based on multiple runs according to their requirements. These target values should fall within the corresponding
acceptable ranges given in the relevant product literature.
If any trends or sudden shifts in values are detected, review all operating parameters.
Each laboratory should establish guidelines for corrective action to be taken if controls do not recover within the specified limits.
Calculation
The Beckman Coulter analysers automatically compute the phenytoin concentration of each sample.

The expected range provided is only a guide for drug dosage. Prior to the adjustment of dose, results should always be assessed in conjunction with other
available information such as patients medical history, mode of drug administration, timing of sample collection, other drug treatments and clinical
9
symptoms.
Method Comparison
Patient serum samples were used to compare this Phenytoin OSR6411 assay on the AU640 against another commercially available phenytoin assay.
Results of linear regression analysis were as follows:
y = 0.969x – 0.01 r = 0.998 n = 135 Sample range = 0.6 – 54.5 µg/mL
Sensitivity
The lowest detectable level on an AU640 analyser was estimated at 0.7 µg/mL.
The lowest detectable level (LDL) represents the lowest measurable level of phenytoin that can be distinguished from zero. It is calculated as the absolute
mean plus three standard deviations of 25 replicates of an analyte free sample.
Interference
No significant interference (<10%) was observed in this Phenytoin assay from the following substances:
Substance Concentration
Bilirubin ≤ 1026 µmol/L or 60 mg/dL
Haemoglobin ≤ 10 g/L or 1000 mg/dL
Triglycerides 22.6 mmol/L or 2000 mg/dL
Other substances and/or factors not listed may interfere with the test and cause false results (e.g. technical or procedural errors).
Limitations
• Samples containing antibodies to E. coli β-galactosidase may result in artificially high results which will not fit the clinical profile. The incidence of
patients having such antibodies is extremely low.
• As with any assay employing mouse antibodies, the possibility exists for interference by human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMA) in the sample, which
could cause falsely elevated results.
