Extended standard curve stability on the CCD Magic Lite immunoassay system using a two-point adjustment.

Ciba Corning Diagnostics has developed a two-point adjustment algorithm for use with the Magic Lite System which allows for extended stability of a full 7-10 point calibration curve over the life of a kit. This adjustment is accomplished by using a master calibration curve established during manufacturing along with two calibrators for each assay. Most conventional non-automated immunoassays contain anywhere from 6 to 10 calibrators which are included with each run of an assay. Eliminating the need to run full standard curves and using the two-point adjustment algorithm results in significant savings in both labour and reagent usage.
