Instructions for Use  |  Safety Data Sheet

For professional in vitro diagnostic use only.

The measurement of IgA is important for typing immunodeficiencies and myelomas. Furthermore it plays a role in acute and chronic infections as first line of defence. Increased levels may be found in acute infectious hepatitis, chronic aggressive hepatitis, posthepatic/cryptogenic cirrhosis, active alcoholic cirrhosis, chronic infection, rheumatoid arthritis, polydermatomyositis, mixed connective tissue disease.

Measurement of antigen-antibody reaction by the end-point method.

The reagents are stable until expiry date when kept at 2-8°C. Stability in the instrument is at least 4 weeks if contamination is avoided. Do not freeze.
