liver, intestine, kidney, and placenta. Serum ALP measurements are of BIOLABO reagents are designated for professional, in vitro diagnostic

 MANUAL PROCEDURE
CALIBRATION
Let stand reagents and specimens at room temperature.
• Kit Standard (vial R2)
Prepare tubes as follows : Reagent Specimen Standard Assay
QUALITY CONTROL blank blank
• Assayed control sera referring to the same method. Reagent R1 2 mL 2 mL 2 mL 2 mL
• External quality control program.
It is recommended to control in the following cases : Incubate 5 minutes at 37°C.
• At least once a run.
• At least once within 24 hours. Specimen 50 JL
• When changing vial of reagent.
Reagent R2 (Standard) 50 JL
• After maintenance operations on the instrument.
If control is out of range, apply following actions : Let stand exactly 15 minutes at 37°C.
1. Check the temperature and repeat the test with the same control.
2. If control is still out of range, prepare a fresh control serum and Reagent R3 0,5 mL 0,5 mL 0,5 mL 0,5 mL
