Liquichek Anti-Scl-70 Control, EIA is intended for use as an unassayed quality control to monitor enzyme immunoassay procedures for the detection of Scl-70 autoantibodies.
Device Story
Liquichek Anti-Scl-70 Control, EIA is an in vitro diagnostic quality control product; prepared from human serum with added preservatives (0.1% sodium azide) and stabilizers. Provided in liquid form for laboratory use. Used by clinical laboratory personnel to monitor the performance and accuracy of enzyme immunoassay (EIA) procedures specifically for the detection of Scl-70 autoantibodies. The control is processed alongside patient samples; results are compared against expected values to ensure assay reliability. Benefits include verification of test system performance, identification of potential procedural errors, and assurance of consistent diagnostic accuracy for clinicians interpreting patient results.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Liquid human serum matrix; contains 0.1% sodium azide preservative; stored at 2-8°C; 30-day open-vial stability. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an unassayed quality control to monitor enzyme immunoassay procedures for the detection of Anti-Scl-70 autoantibodies in human serum.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).
