The Ferritin Rapid Test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of human ferritin in human whole blood, serum and plasma.
Ferritin is a universal intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. Plasma ferritin is an indirect marker of the total amount of iron stored in the body; hence serum ferritin is used as a diagnostic test for iron deficiency anemia. A normal ferritin blood level, referred to as the reference interval is determined by many testing laboratories. In most tissues, ferritin is a major iron storage protein. Human ferritin has a molecular weight of approximately 450,000 Daltons, and consists of a protein shell around an iron core; each molecule of ferritin may contain as many as 4,000 iron atoms. Under normal conditions, this may represent 25% of the total iron found in the body. In addition, ferritin can be found in several isomers. If the ferritin level is low, there is a risk for lack of iron, which could lead to anemia. Low ferritin may also indicate hypothyroidism, vitamin C deficiency or celiac disease. Low serum ferritin levels are seen in some patients with restless legs syndrome, not necessarily related to anemia, but perhaps due to low iron stores short of anemia.
• Rapid test cassette with desiccant.
• Buffer
• Pipette
• Package insert
• Store at 2 ~ 30 º C in the sealed pouch for 24 months.
• Keep away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat.
• DO NOT FREEZE.
Sample Collection&Storage
• Separate serum or plasma from blood as soon as possible to avoid hemolysis. Use only clear non-hemolyzed specimens.
• Testing should be performed immediately after the specimens have been collected. Do not leave the specimens at room temperature for prolonged periods. Serum and plasma specimens may be stored 2-8ºC for up to 3 days. For long term storage, specimens should be kept below -20ºC if the test is to be run within 2 days of collection. Do not freeze whole blood specimens.
• Bring specimens to room temperature prior to testing. Frozen specimens must be completely thawed and mixed well prior to testing. Specimens should not be frozen and thawed repeatedly.
Bring tests, specimens, and/or controls to room temperature (15-30°C) before use.
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test cassette from the sealed pouch and use it within one hour.
2. Place the cassette on a clean and level surface.
For Serum or plasma Specimen:
Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 1 drop of serum or plasma (approximately 25μ L) to the specimen area, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40μ L),and start the timer. See illustration below.
For Venipuncture Whole Blood Specimen:
Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 2 drops of whole blood (approximately 50μ L) to the specimen area, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40 μL),and start the timer. See illustration below.
3. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 5 minutes. Do not read results after10 minutes.
