5.1.2 Approved Reagents and Control Materials
Always use reagents, control materials and calibration materials that are recommended and approved by the
manufacturer. The ‘Abacus 5’ analyzer, control material, calibrator material and reagents are part of a system and
are carefully designed and selected for optimal performance. Using unapproved reagents or controls may cause false
flagging or incorrect, inaccurate results.
Only genuine Diatron reagents may be used in the ‘Abacus 5’ analyzer. Diatron recommends the use of Diacon 5
control material and Diatrocal calibration material from Diatron. These materials have been specifically assayed for
use in the ‘Abacus 5’ analyzer.
For additional details about these materials, please contact the manufacturer directly.
