HemoCue® Albumin 201 Analyzer

HemoCue® Albumin 201 Analyzer System Welcome Kit

The HemoCue^® Albumin system can be used for the quantitative determination of low levels of albumin in urine for the purpose of screening for, diagnosing, monitoring and supporting the clinical evidence in the treatment of microalbuminuria.

The system consists of a analyzer and individually packaged microcuvettes. The reaction in the cuvette is based on a immunoturbidimetric reaction. The turbidity once formed is measured photometrically at 610 nm.

With three simple steps a quantitative result is achieved within 90 seconds!

HemoCue® Albumin 201 System Welcome Kit Specifications:

Sample material: Urine. The analysis can be performed with spot urine, preferably first morning urine, as well as urine collected overnight or during 24 hours.
Measurement range: 5-150 mg/L.
Results: in about 90 seconds.
Sample volume: 18 µL.
Weight: 350 g (0.77 pounds).
Power: AC Adapter.
Operating temperature: 15-30 °C (59-86 °F).
Interface: Printer and PC.
Quality control: Built-in "selftest". The system can be verified using liquid controls.
Calibration: The analyzer is factory calibrated against a turbidimetric method traceable to CRM 470 and needs no further calibration.
Storage for HemoCue^® Albumin 201 Analyzer: The analyzer can be stored at temperature 0-50 °C (32-122 °F).

Storage for individual packaged HemoCue^® Urine Albumin Microcuvettes: Store HemoCue^® Urine Albumin Microcuvettes in a refrigerator at 2-8 °C (35-46 °F). Do not store the microcuvettes in the freezer. Allowed to reach room temperature before use. The individually packaged cuvettes can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Method: A specific rabbit anti-human albumin antibody (polyclonal) forms an agglutinate with human albumin in the sample. The agglutination is enhanced by polymers. The turbidity of the agglutinates, once formed, is measured photometrically at 610 nm. Microalbuminuria in diabetes mellitus: review and recommendations for the measurement of albumin in urine. Rowe, D.J.F., Dawnay, A., Watts, G.F.: Ann. Clin. Biochem. 27, 297–312 (1990).

Principle: When the immunochemical reaction is completed the turbidity is measured photometrically at 610 nm. The albumin concentration is proportional to the turbidity and the result is shown on the display in mg/L.
