The assay has been validated for The Immunalysis Methamphetamine Urine Enzyme Immunoassay is a homogeneous use with the Olympus AU400e, the following Beckman Coulter analyzers: AU480, enzyme immunoassay with a dual cutoff of 500ng/mL and 1000ng/mL. The assay is AU680, AU2700, AU5400 and AU5800. intended for use in laboratories for the qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of Methamphetamine in human urine with automated clinical chemistry analyzers. This assay Refer to the analyzer-specific Application Sheet which contains parameters for use. is calibrated against Methamphetamine. This in-vitro diagnostic device is for prescription QUALITY CONTROL AND CALIBRATION use only. Good laboratory practice suggests the use of control specimens to ensure assay The semi-quantitative mode is for purposes of enabling laboratories to determine an performance. Control results must fall within established ranges determined by your appropriate dilution of the specimen for confirmation by a confirmatory method such as laboratory. QC materials should be used in accordance with local, state and/or federal Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) or permitting laboratories to establish regulations or accreditation requirements. quality control procedures. For a qualitative analysis use either the 500ng/mL or 1000ng/mL calibrator as a cutoff The Immunalysis Methamphetamine Urine Enzyme Immunoassay Kit provides only level to distinguish “positive” and “negative” specimens.
