Horiba ABX Pentra Amylase CP Reagent – ~125 Tests – Pentra 400 / C400 (P/N 1220001628)

What is it:

The Horiba ABX Pentra Amylase CP (P/N 1220001628, REF A11A01628) is a genuine HORIBA reagent for measuring alpha-amylase on the ABX Pentra 400 / Pentra C400 clinical chemistry analyzer. It uses the CNPG3 kinetic colorimetric method and is supplied as a ready-to-use bi-reagent cassette (Reagent 1: 26 mL · Reagent 2: 6.5 mL), good for approximately 125 tests. For professional in vitro diagnostic use.

Part numbers:

• Catalog P/N: 1220001628
• Box REF: A11A01628

What it's used for:

Amylase CP measures alpha-amylase (AMS) activity in serum, plasma, and urine — an enzyme marker used primarily in the diagnosis and monitoring of pancreatic disorders such as acute pancreatitis, as well as some salivary-gland and other conditions. The assay uses the CNPG3 kinetic method: alpha-amylase hydrolyzes the substrate 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl-α-D-maltotrioside (CNPG3), releasing 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol (CNP), and the analyzer measures the rate of CNP formation, proportional to the amylase activity. As a routine chemistry test, this is a regularly reordered reagent, used together with the appropriate calibrator and controls.

What's included:

• 1 × ABX Pentra Amylase CP bi-reagent cassette
• Reagent 1: 26 mL · Reagent 2: 6.5 mL
• Approximately 125 tests per cassette
• Manufactured by HORIBA ABX SAS

Compatible analyzer:

• ABX Pentra 400 (Pentra C400) Clinical Chemistry Analyzer

This is the alpha-amylase measurement reagent for the Pentra 400 / C400. It measures total amylase — if your lab specifically requires a pancreatic-amylase (P-AMY) assay, confirm before ordering. It's also distinct from the calibrator and controls. Not for use with non-HORIBA instruments.

Storage & shipping note:

Store refrigerated (2–8°C). Ships cold-chain with priority handling. Non-returnable once shipped.

FAQs:

What is the Horiba ABX Pentra Amylase CP used for?

It's the reagent that measures alpha-amylase on the Pentra 400 / C400 using the CNPG3 kinetic method. Amylase is used primarily in the diagnosis and monitoring of pancreatic disorders such as acute pancreatitis.

Which analyzer is P/N 1220001628 compatible with?

The HORIBA ABX Pentra 400 / Pentra C400 clinical chemistry analyzer.

How many tests does one cassette provide?

Approximately 125 tests. Actual yield depends on your calibration and QC frequency.

What method does it use?

The CNPG3 kinetic colorimetric method — alpha-amylase hydrolyzes the CNPG3 substrate to release 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol (CNP), and the analyzer measures the rate of CNP formation in proportion to the amylase activity.

Does this measure total or pancreatic amylase?

This is a total alpha-amylase reagent. If your lab specifically runs a pancreatic-amylase (P-AMY) assay, confirm before ordering, as that's a different measurement.

Does it need refrigeration?

Yes. Store refrigerated at 2–8°C, and the product ships with cold-chain handling.

What's the difference between the box REF and the catalog number?

The box shows REF A11A01628; distributors order it as P/N 1220001628. They're the same product — we list both so you find this page from either number.
