Description

Rheumatoid Factor Removal Kit for Serum and Plasma
Catalog number: K2010013
Lot number: Batch Dependent
Expiration Date: Batch dependent
Size: 10 reactions (enough for processing 10 samples of 1 mL each)
Storage: 2-8C
Supplied as: Ready-to-use kit

Applications: Rheumatoid Factor (RF) remains a major source of interference in immunoassays (despite claims to the contrary made by manufacturers). Using a propriety solution, this kit is designed to deplete human serum or plasma from Rheumatoid Factor. Simply add serum or plasma to the provided solution, vortex, spindown and recover an RF-free sample. For Research Use Only. Not for diagnostic use.
