Horiba ABX Pentra Cholesterol CP Reagent – ~380 Tests – Pentra 400 / C400 (P/N 1220001634)

What is it:

The Horiba ABX Pentra Cholesterol CP (P/N 1220001634, REF A11A01634) is a genuine HORIBA reagent for measuring total cholesterol on the ABX Pentra 400 / Pentra C400 clinical chemistry analyzer. It uses an enzymatic colorimetric method and is supplied as a ready-to-use 90 mL monoreagent, good for approximately 380 tests. For professional in vitro diagnostic use.

Part numbers:

• Catalog P/N: 1220001634
• Box REF: A11A01634

What it's used for:

Cholesterol CP measures total cholesterol in serum and plasma — a foundational component of the lipid panel used in cardiovascular risk assessment and the diagnosis and management of lipid disorders. The assay uses an enzymatic colorimetric method: cholesterol esterase frees cholesterol from its esters, cholesterol oxidase then acts on it to generate hydrogen peroxide, and a peroxidase-coupled (Trinder) reaction produces a colored product the analyzer measures, proportional to the total cholesterol concentration. As one of the highest-volume lipid tests, this is a routinely reordered reagent, used together with the appropriate calibrator (such as ABX Pentra MultiCal) and controls.

What's included:

• 1 × ABX Pentra Cholesterol CP monoreagent, 90 mL
• Approximately 380 tests
• Manufactured by HORIBA ABX SAS

Compatible analyzer:

• ABX Pentra 400 (Pentra C400) Clinical Chemistry Analyzer

This is the total cholesterol measurement reagent for the Pentra 400 / C400. It measures total cholesterol — distinct from the HDL and LDL direct reagents, which measure those specific lipoprotein fractions. 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 Cholesterol CP used for?

It's the reagent that measures total cholesterol on the Pentra 400 / C400 using an enzymatic colorimetric method. Total cholesterol is a foundational part of the lipid panel used in cardiovascular risk assessment.

Which analyzer is P/N 1220001634 compatible with?

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

How many tests does one cassette provide?

Approximately 380 tests. Actual yield depends on your calibration and QC frequency.

What method does it use?

An enzymatic colorimetric method — cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase act on cholesterol to generate a signal through a peroxidase-coupled (Trinder) reaction, measured by the analyzer in proportion to the total cholesterol concentration.

Is this the same as HDL or LDL cholesterol?

No — this reagent measures total cholesterol. HDL and LDL are measured with separate direct reagents (HDL Direct CP and LDL Direct CP). A full lipid panel typically uses total cholesterol together with HDL, LDL, and triglycerides.

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 A11A01634; distributors order it as P/N 1220001634. They're the same product — we list both so you find this page from either number.
