Immunoturbidimetric Test for D-Dimer Performed on Clinical Chemistry Systems

A newly designed particle-enhanced immunoturbidimetric test for D-Dimer is designed for use on automated clinical chemistry systems. D-Dimer tests are used for exclusion of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the leg.

The new D-Dimer FS immunoturbidimetric test has a cut-off value of 0.5 µg FEU/ml (fibrinogen equivalent units per milliliter) and shows good diagnostic sensitivity ensuring that 98 % of patients with DVT are found true-positive. The two-component reagent is liquid-stable and ready to use. The test covers a wide measuring range up to 8.7 µg FEU/ml and stands out for its high prozone security up to 50 µg FEU/ml. D-Dimer FS shows excellent calibration and on-board stability up to six weeks.

D-Dimer FS is a product of DiaSys Diagnostic Systems (Holzheim, Germany), a company that develops, manufactures, and distributes a full range of diagnostic reagents for clinical chemistry and including controls and calibrators. The company focuses on liquid-stable, ready-to-use reagents for measurement of enzymes and substrates, and immunoturbidimetric tests for the measurement of specific proteins.

The company's current product range lists more than 80 reagents in convenient packages for routine and special diagnostics on photometers or automated analyzers. The product range is completed by clinical chemistry analyzers and point-of-care instruments for diabetes monitoring.
