The new Yumizen D-Dimer reagent kit is available for Yumizen G hemostasis instruments - fully automatic (Yumizen G800, Yumizen G1500 & Yumizen G1550) and semi-automatic (Yumizen G200 & Yumizen G400). On Yumizen G semi-automatic systems (Yumizen G200 & Yumizen G400), it offers an innovative combination of immunoturbidimetric test capability and pre-calibrated ready to use reagent.
The new Yumizen D-Dimer reagent kit uses antibody-coated latex particles and is measured with the Immuno-turbidimetric channels of Yumizen G Range instruments, therefore providing fully consistent across the range. It provides laboratories with:
A cost efficient solution:
- Ready to use liquid format - minimizing preparation time
- Pre-calibrated reagent avoiding a costly & time-consuming calibration step
- High stability & optimized volume packaging to avoid wastage
Compliant with Gold Standard performances:
- Negative Predictive Value 99%
- Absence of hook effect until 25 µg FEU/ml
- Slope check and post dilution function (fully automatic & semi-automatic systems)
- Cut-off value at 0.5 µg FEU/ml
