Filed:

Dec 11, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/733871

Inventors:

Dennis Robert Conlon - Shirley MA, US
Sohrab Mansouri - Sudbury MA, US
Giannantonio Vago - Casatenovo, IT

Assignee:

Instrumentation Laboratory Company - Lexington MA

International Classification:

G01N 31/00
G01N 33/96

US Classification:

436 8, 436 11, 436 14, 436 16, 436 18, 436 63, 436 70, 2524081

Abstract:

The present invention provides a reference solution for use in instruments that determine hematocrit levels in biological samples by measuring the resistance and/or conductivity of the biological samples. A reference solution according to the invention achieves conductivities representative of known hematocrit levels in blood, while maintaining tolerable levels of interference with the measurement of other analytes in the reference solution.

Appl. No.:

8/740410

Inventors:

Dennis R. Conlon - South Attleboro MA
Kevin J. Sullivan - Medfield MA
Robert B. Green - Hopkinton MA

Assignee:

Chiron Diagnostics Corporation - E. Walpole MA

International Classification:

G01N 3100

US Classification:

436 8

Abstract:

A novel flexible package for an oxygen reference solution has been developed. This package is made from a laminated film including preferably polypropylene as the inner layer, aluminum foil as the middle layer, and polyester as the outer layer. The seams are heat sealed, while an optional access device for allowing access to the solution after the storage period, is attached to the inside wall of the bag without breeching the middle barrier layer.
