Finecare Ferritin Rapid Quantitative Test

The Finecare™ Ferritin Rapid Quantitative Test is a fluorescence immunoassay designed for the quantitative measurement of ferritin levels in human whole blood, serum, or plasma. This test, used in conjunction with Finecare™ FIA Meters, aids in assessing iron deficiency anemia and iron overload conditions. ​

Key Features:

• Sample Types: Whole blood, serum, or plasma.​
• Sample Volume: 75 µL.​
• Reaction Time: Approximately 10 minutes.​
• Detection Range: 5 to 1000 ng/mL.​
• Storage Conditions: Store at 4℃ to 30℃ up to the expiration date printed on the package. ​

Clinical Significance:

Ferritin is an intracellular protein that stores and releases iron in a controlled manner. It is predominantly found in the liver, spleen, skeletal muscles, and bone marrow. Measuring ferritin levels is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring iron-related disorders:​

• Iron Deficiency Anemia: Low ferritin levels indicate depleted iron stores, leading to anemia.​
• Iron Overload Disorders: Elevated ferritin levels can suggest conditions like hemochromatosis or hemosiderosis.​
• Inflammatory Diseases: Ferritin acts as an acute-phase reactant, and its levels may rise in response to inflammation or infection.​

Usage Considerations:

• Ensure that the test cartridge, detection buffer, and ID chip lot numbers match before use.​
• Allow the test kit to reach room temperature if previously refrigerated.​
• Use the test cartridge within one hour of opening the pouch.​
• Adhere to proper laboratory safety protocols when handling specimens and kit reagents. ​
