Avecon Diagnostics, Inc. has developed an automated immunoassay for the quantitative low-level detection of tetanus antibody in human serum and plasma specimens.

The Tetanus Antibody Immunity Test Kit is used to determine the tetanus immune status in humans to assess the need for administering a tetanus vaccine or booster injection. The test kit contains a single calibrator as well as a negative and positive control.

The features of the Tetanus Antibody Immunity Test Kit include:

NO SAMPLE PRE-DILUTION Linear Range of 0.0-10.0 IU/mL Sensitivity limit 0.01 IU/mL Able to process 800 tests per hour* All reagents are liquid and ready for use on clinical analyzers such as Hitachi (717/747/911), Roche COBAS (Mira/Bio), Olympus models, Abbott Aeroset and many more.

A technician simply pours two liquid reagents into the reservoirs of virtually any clinical chemistry instrument, loads calibrators, controls and patients and presses "START"

Labor time is dramatically reduced. The automated Tetanus Antibody Immunity Test Kit does not require pre-dilution of samples or the multiple timed incubation and wash steps associated with microtiter plate immunoassays for tetanus antibody. Technician time and labor can be committed to other laboratory procedures while the clinical analyzer performs the work.

Results are automatically printed out and may be directly downloaded to your laboratory’s information system for fast, efficient reporting of results.
