Dako Calibrators and Controls for turbidimetry and nephelometry have been especially prepared for the quantitative immunological determination of the stated proteins by turbidimetry and nephelometry*.

For Calibrators, value assignment has been carried out by turbidimetry using a meticulous protocol (1). The protein concentrations with uncertainties are provided in the Analytical Value Sheet included with each product. For Controls, values have been determined by repeated measurements and are provided with a recommended range. Values assigned to Calibrators and Controls are traceable to international reference preparations when such preparations are available.

For all Calibrators and Controls prepared from serum, each donor has been tested and found negative for hepatitis B virus surface antigen, anti-HIV 1 and 2, and anti-hepatitis C virus.
