taken place prior to centrifugation of
samples. Some samples, particularly
those from patients receiving
anticoagulant therapy, may require
increased clotting time.
Blood collection tubes from different
manufacturers may yield differing values,
depending on materials and additives,
including gel or physical barriers, clot
activators and/or anticoagulants.
IMMULITE 2000 TBG has not been tested
with all possible variations of tube types.
Consult the section on Alternate Sample
Types for details on tubes that have been
tested.
Volume Required: 20 µL serum.
Storage: 2 days at 2–8°C, or
8
1 month at –20°C.

Warnings and Precautions

For in vitro diagnostic use.
Reagents: Store at 2–8°C. Dispose of in
accordance with applicable laws.
Follow universal precautions, and handle
all components as if capable of
transmitting infectious agents. Source
materials derived from human blood were
tested and found nonreactive for syphilis;
for antibodies to HIV 1 and 2; for hepatitis
B surface antigen; and for antibodies to
hepatitis C.
Sodium azide, at concentrations less than
0.1 g/dL, has been added as a
preservative. On disposal, flush with large
volumes of water to prevent the buildup of
potentially explosive metal azides in lead
and copper plumbing.
Chemiluminescent Substrate: Avoid
contamination and exposure to direct
sunlight. (See insert.)
Water: Use distilled or deionized water.

Materials Supplied

Components are a matched set. Labels on
the inside box are needed for the assay.
