Horiba ABX Pentra Bilirubin, Total CP Reagent – ~200 Tests – Pentra 400 / C400 (P/N 1220001639)

What is it:

The Horiba ABX Pentra Bilirubin, Total CP (P/N 1220001639, REF A11A01639) is a genuine HORIBA reagent for measuring total bilirubin on the ABX Pentra 400 / Pentra C400 clinical chemistry analyzer. It uses a photometric diazo (DCA) method and is supplied as a ready-to-use bi-reagent cassette (Reagent 1: 29.5 mL · Reagent 2: 9.8 mL), good for approximately 200 tests. For professional in vitro diagnostic use.

Part numbers:

• Catalog P/N: 1220001639
• Box REF: A11A01639

What it's used for:

Bilirubin, Total CP measures total bilirubin in serum and plasma — a key marker of liver function used in the evaluation of jaundice, hepatic and biliary disease, hemolysis, and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. The assay uses a photometric diazo method: bilirubin combines with 2,4-dichloroaniline (DCA) in the presence of detergents to form a colored diazo dye the analyzer measures, proportional to the total bilirubin concentration. As a routine liver-panel test, this is a regularly reordered reagent, used together with the appropriate calibrator and controls.

What's included:

• 1 × ABX Pentra Bilirubin, Total CP bi-reagent cassette
• Reagent 1: 29.5 mL · Reagent 2: 9.8 mL
• Approximately 200 tests per cassette
• Manufactured by HORIBA ABX SAS

Compatible analyzer:

• ABX Pentra 400 (Pentra C400) Clinical Chemistry Analyzer

This is the TOTAL bilirubin reagent for the Pentra 400 / C400. It is distinct from ABX Pentra Bilirubin, Direct CP, which measures direct (conjugated) bilirubin — confirm you're ordering total vs. direct for your assay. 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. This reagent carries a GHS "Warning" classification — follow the Safety Data Sheet for handling. Non-returnable once shipped.

FAQs:

What is the Horiba ABX Pentra Bilirubin, Total CP used for?

It's the reagent that measures total bilirubin on the Pentra 400 / C400 using a photometric diazo (DCA) method. Total bilirubin is a key liver-function marker used to evaluate jaundice, hepatic and biliary disease, and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

What's the difference between total and direct bilirubin?

Total bilirubin measures all bilirubin in the sample; direct bilirubin measures only the conjugated fraction. They're separate reagents — this is the TOTAL bilirubin reagent (P/N 1220001639). HORIBA offers a separate Bilirubin, Direct CP reagent. Order the one your assay requires.

Which analyzer is P/N 1220001639 compatible with?

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

How many tests does one cassette provide?

Approximately 200 tests. Actual yield depends on your calibration and QC frequency.

What method does it use?

A photometric diazo method — bilirubin reacts with 2,4-dichloroaniline (DCA) and detergents to form a colored diazo dye measured by the analyzer in proportion to the total bilirubin concentration.

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 A11A01639; distributors order it as P/N 1220001639. They're the same product — we list both so you find this page from either number.
