Calibrated to the reference standard B·R·A·H·M·S PCT sensitive KRYPTOR.
ARCHITECT B·R·A·H·M·S PCT can be used with the same clinical cut-offs and algorithms.
ARCHITECT B·R·A·H·M·S PCT is a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) for the quantitative determination of PCT (Procalcitonin) in human serum and plasma on the automated ARCHITECT analyzer (Abbott).
ARCHITECT B·R·A·H·M·S PCT is CE marked and FDA 510(k) cleared.
Assay characteristics
ARCHITECT B·R·A·H·M·S PCT assay can be distinguished by these characteristics:
Test principle | CMIA |
Sample matrix | Serum, plasma (heparin, EDTA) |
Sample volume | 150 μL |
Test duration | 22 min |
Measuring range | 0.02-100 μg/L |
Limit of Quantification (LoQ) | 0.01 μg/L |
Analytical sensitivity (LoD) | 0.00 μg/L |
Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) and Limit of Detection (LoD) values are rounded to 2 decimal places in alignment with the reported results for the assay. |
