Horiba ABX Pentra CRP Calibrator – Pentra 400 / C400 (P/N 1220001616)

What is it:

The Horiba ABX Pentra CRP Calibrator (P/N 1220001616, REF A11A01616) is a genuine HORIBA liquid calibrator for the ABX Pentra 400 / Pentra C400 clinical chemistry analyzer, used to calibrate the C-reactive protein (CRP) assay. For professional in vitro diagnostic use.

Part numbers:

• Catalog P/N: 1220001616
• Box REF: A11A01616

What it's used for:

The CRP Calibrator establishes the known reference point the Pentra 400 uses to produce accurate C-reactive protein results. CRP is a key marker of inflammation and infection, widely used to detect and monitor inflammatory conditions and to assess infection severity. By assigning the analyzer's CRP assay to a calibrator of known concentration, this product ensures patient CRP values read true. Calibrators are run on a defined schedule (and after reagent lot changes or QC shifts), so this is a recurring item for labs running CRP testing.

What's included:

• Horiba ABX Pentra CRP Calibrator
  

Compatible analyzer:

• ABX Pentra 400 (Pentra C400) Clinical Chemistry Analyzer

This is the CRP calibrator for the Pentra 400 / C400 — it calibrates the CRP assay and is distinct from the CRP control (which verifies QC) and the CRP reagent (which runs the test). Calibrators are assay-specific; confirm this matches the CRP assay your lab runs. Not for use with non-HORIBA instruments.

Storage & shipping note:

Store refrigerated (2–10°C). Ships cold-chain with priority handling to protect calibrator integrity. Contains material of human origin — handle as potentially biohazardous and follow standard precautions and the package insert. Non-returnable once shipped.

FAQs:

What is the Horiba ABX Pentra CRP Calibrator used for?

It calibrates the C-reactive protein (CRP) assay on the Pentra 400 / C400, establishing a known reference point so patient CRP results read accurately. CRP is a widely used marker of inflammation and infection.

Which analyzer is P/N 1220001616 compatible with?

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

How is the CRP Calibrator different from the CRP Control?

A calibrator sets the analyzer's reference point so CRP 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.

How much is in the kit?

Refer to the box/insert for the exact vial count and volume. If you'd like, send us a clear photo of the box label and we'll confirm before you order.

How often should I calibrate CRP?

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 2–10°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 A11A01616; distributors order it as P/N 1220001616. They're the same product — we list both so you find this page from either number.
