Horiba ABX Pentra CK NAC CP Reagent – ~125 Tests – Pentra 400 / C400 (P/N 1220001632)

What is it:

The Horiba ABX Pentra CK NAC CP (P/N 1220001632, REF A11A01632) is a genuine HORIBA reagent for measuring total creatine kinase (CK) on the ABX Pentra 400 / Pentra C400 clinical chemistry analyzer. It uses the NAC-activated enzymatic (NADH) 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: 1220001632
• Box REF: A11A01632

What it's used for:

CK NAC CP measures total creatine kinase (CK) in serum and plasma — an enzyme marker used in the assessment of skeletal and cardiac muscle damage, including conditions such as muscular dystrophy, rhabdomyolysis, and muscle injury. The "NAC" refers to N-acetylcysteine, the activator that reactivates the CK enzyme so its activity can be measured: the assay couples CK activity to a series of enzyme reactions that produce NADH, and the analyzer measures the rate of NADH formation, proportional to CK activity. As a routine enzyme test, this is a regularly reordered reagent, used together with the appropriate calibrator and controls.

What's included:

• 1 × ABX Pentra CK NAC 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 total CK (creatine kinase) measurement reagent for the Pentra 400 / C400. It's distinct from the calibrator and controls used to standardize and monitor the assay. Not for use with non-HORIBA instruments.

FAQs:

What is the Horiba ABX Pentra CK NAC CP used for?

It's the reagent that measures total creatine kinase (CK) on the Pentra 400 / C400 using the NAC-activated enzymatic method. CK is used to assess skeletal and cardiac muscle damage, including rhabdomyolysis and muscular dystrophy.

What does "NAC" mean?

NAC stands for N-acetylcysteine, the activator used in the assay to reactivate the creatine kinase enzyme so its activity can be accurately measured. NAC-activated CK is a standard, IFCC-aligned method.

Which analyzer is P/N 1220001632 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.

Is it hazardous? How do I handle it safely?

Yes — it carries a GHS "Danger" health-hazard classification (H360FD: may damage fertility or the unborn child). Wear appropriate PPE, avoid all exposure, and follow the Safety Data Sheet. Staff who are pregnant or planning pregnancy should consult their safety officer before handling.

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 A11A01632; distributors order it as P/N 1220001632. They're the same product — we list both so you find this page from either number.
