The cassette COBAS Integra Tina-quant Transferrin ver.2 contains an in vitro diagnostic reagent system intended for use on COBAS Integra systems for the quantitative immunological determination of human transferrin in serum and plasma. A transferrin immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the transferrin (an iron-binding and transporting serum protein) in serum and plasma. Measurement of transferrin levels aids in the diagnosis of malnutrition, acute inflammation, infection, and red blood cell disorders, such as iron deficiency anemia.
Device Story
Tina-quant Transferrin ver.2 is an in vitro diagnostic reagent system for use on COBAS Integra clinical chemistry analyzers. It utilizes immunological agglutination; human transferrin in patient serum or plasma samples forms a precipitate with specific antiserum. This precipitate is measured turbidimetrically at 340 nm. The system provides quantitative results to clinicians to assist in diagnosing malnutrition, inflammation, infection, and iron deficiency anemia. It is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings. The device includes a 'High Activity' check to identify potential interference from IgM gammopathy (Waldenstroem), requiring post-dilution for accurate results.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance compared to predicate using clinical samples. Intra-assay precision CV 0.77–0.86%; between-day precision CV 1.8–1.9%. Analytical sensitivity (LDL) 0.013 g/L. Method comparison yielded y = 1.06x + 0.03 (r=0.996). Interference testing showed no significant impact from icterus, hemolysis, lipemia (up to 500 mg/dL), or rheumatoid factors.
Technological Characteristics
Immunoturbidimetric assay; utilizes specific antiserum for agglutination; measured at 340 nm. Standardized against CRM 470 (RPPHS). Designed for use on COBAS Integra clinical chemistry analyzers. Measuring range 1.3–520 mg/dL.
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative measurement of human transferrin in serum and plasma to aid in the diagnosis of malnutrition, acute inflammation, infection, and red blood cell disorders (e.g., iron deficiency anemia).
