Unique Tosoh Reagent Benefits
- Single, unitized cups use a dry reagent format that requires no pre-mixing, no pre-measuring, and minimizes preparation time and waste
- Dry reagent format ensures calibration stability of up to 90 days for most assays
- Rapid turn-around time (20 minutes) of ST AIA-PACK assays provides actionable information for medical decisions.
- The AIA-PACK technology utilizes a patented concept by Tosoh based on individual test cups, each containing lyophilized and ready-to-use reagents.
- No pre-mixing, no pre-measuring, and no on-board refrigeration required.
- One test, one cup ensures minimal reagent waste leading to both increased efficiency and cost savings.
- The entire immunoassay reaction takes place in the test cup, from the pipetting of the sample, the antigen-antibody reaction, up to the signal detection ensuring consistency and stability.
Consistency
The Unit Dose Test Cup technology ensures no transfer of reagents, no pre-mixing and no pre-measuring, minimizing the introduction of analytical errors while maximizing on performance specifications. Together, this yields reliable diagnostic results allowing for accurate clinical decisions and customized patient care.
AIA-PACK assays have excellent CVs across the entire test menu.
