Assay Measures Iron-Binding Capacity

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 28 Apr 2006
An assay comprising a new reagent and a calibrator kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) in human serum.

Iron-binding capacity is useful for the differential diagnosis of anemia, iron-deficiency anemia, thalassemia, sideroblastic anemia, and iron poisoning. More...
The dTIBIC reagent is the latest MicroTip assay on the Vitros 5,1 chemistry system of Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics (Raritan, NJ, USA). The availability of the dTIBC assay enhances the capabilities of the Vitros chemistry system by eliminating manual sample preparation, reducing sample volume requirement, and expediting test reporting. The system allows for the integration of the new MicroTip assay with the general chemistry assay workflow, providing enhanced service and security while maximizing labor and cost savings.

The Vitros MicroTip technology features disposable tips and cuvettes, eliminating the maintenance, cost, and risk of sample and reagent carryover and cross contamination associated with traditional chemistry systems.

The Vitros 5,1 chemistry system offers design advantages in addition to menu expansion. The system features MicroSlide technology for the highest reportable result efficiency, and Intellicheck technology for system monitoring, advanced clot and bubble detection management, and intelligent error reduction. MicroSensor technology provides rapid reagentless sample quality/indices assessment and flags only the impacted tests, saving time and minimizing the opportunity for reporting of erroneous results.
