Horiba ABX Pentra CO2 Calibrator – Pentra 400 / C400 (P/N 1220001648)

What is it:

The Horiba ABX Pentra CO2 Calibrator (P/N 1220001648, REF A11A01648) is a genuine HORIBA calibrator for the ABX Pentra 400 / Pentra C400 clinical chemistry analyzer, used to calibrate the analyzer's CO2 (carbon dioxide / bicarbonate) assay. Supplied as 3 × 3 mL. For professional in vitro diagnostic use.

Part numbers:

• Catalog P/N: 1220001648
• Box REF: A11A01648

What it's used for:

The CO2 Calibrator establishes the known reference point the Pentra 400 uses to produce accurate CO2 (bicarbonate) results. By assigning the analyzer's CO2 assay to a material of known concentration, the calibrator ensures patient CO2 values read true — a key part of the electrolyte/metabolic panel and acid-base assessment. Calibrators are run on a defined schedule (and after reagent lot changes or QC shifts), so this is a recurring item for labs running CO2 testing.

What's included:

• 1 × Horiba ABX Pentra CO2 Calibrator kit (3 × 3 mL)
• Catalog P/N: 1220001648 · Box REF: A11A01648
• For professional in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use only
• Manufactured by HORIBA ABX SAS

Compatible analyzer:

• ABX Pentra 400 (Pentra C400) Clinical Chemistry Analyzer

This is the CO2 (carbon dioxide / bicarbonate) calibrator for the Pentra 400 / C400. Calibrators are assay-specific — confirm this matches the CO2 assay your lab runs. Not for use with non-HORIBA instruments.

Storage & shipping note:

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

FAQs:

What is the Horiba ABX Pentra CO2 Calibrator used for?

It calibrates the CO2 (carbon dioxide / bicarbonate) assay on the Pentra 400 / C400, establishing a known reference point so patient CO2 results read accurately. CO2/bicarbonate is part of the routine electrolyte and acid-base assessment.

Which analyzer is P/N 1220001648 compatible with?

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

How much is in the kit?

The kit contains 3 × 3 mL.

How often should I calibrate CO2?

Follow your reagent insert and lab QC policy — typically on a set schedule and after reagent lot changes, major maintenance, or QC shifts. Your lab director's protocol governs frequency.

Does it need refrigeration?

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

What's the difference between a calibrator and a control?

A calibrator sets the analyzer's reference point so results are accurate; a control then verifies that calibration is holding during routine QC. They're different products used together — order the one your procedure calls for.

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

The box shows REF A11A01648; distributors order it as P/N 1220001648. They're the same product — we list both so you find this page from either number.
