Table 1. ‘ELite 5’ Analyzer Parameters
4.1.2 Approved Reagents and Control Materials
Always use reagents, control and calibration materials that are recommended and approved
by the manufacturer. The ‘ELite 5’ analyzer, controls, calibrator 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 original Erba Lachema reagents may be used in the ‘ELite 5’ analyzer. For additional
details about these materials, please contact the manufacturer directly.
4.1.3 Original Erba Lachema Reagents
Use only the original Erba Lachema reagents listed below to ensure proper
performance of the ‘ELite 5’ analyzer. Reagents are manufactured and provided by
Erba Lachema s.r.o., and are for in vitro diagnostic use only. For using leave the
reagent at room temperature for at least 12 hours. Do not use reagent once frozen.
