Horiba ABX Pentra Glucose HK CP Reagent – ~295 Tests – Pentra 400 / C400 (P/N 1220001667)

What is it:

The Horiba ABX Pentra Glucose HK CP (P/N 1220001667, REF A11A01667) is a genuine HORIBA reagent for measuring glucose on the ABX Pentra 400 / Pentra C400 clinical chemistry analyzer. It uses the hexokinase (HK) enzymatic method and is supplied as a ready-to-use bi-reagent cassette (Reagent 1: 56 mL · Reagent 2: 14 mL), good for approximately 295 tests. For professional in vitro diagnostic use.

Part numbers:

• Catalog P/N: 1220001667
• Box REF: A11A01667

What it's used for:

Glucose HK CP measures glucose in serum, plasma, and other fluids — one of the most frequently ordered tests in the lab, central to the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes and the management of glucose metabolism. The assay uses the hexokinase (HK) method: hexokinase phosphorylates glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, which glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase then oxidizes while reducing NAD(P)⁺ to NAD(P)H, producing a change in absorbance proportional to the glucose concentration. The hexokinase method is widely regarded as the reference method for glucose — valued for its specificity and freedom from many of the interferences that affect the glucose-oxidase method. As a very high-volume test, this is a routinely reordered reagent, used together with the appropriate calibrator and controls.

What's included:

• 1 × ABX Pentra Glucose HK CP bi-reagent cassette
• Reagent 1: 56 mL · Reagent 2: 14 mL
• Approximately 295 tests per cassette
• Manufactured by HORIBA ABX SAS

Compatible analyzer:

• ABX Pentra 400 (Pentra C400) Clinical Chemistry Analyzer

This is the hexokinase-method glucose reagent for the Pentra 400 / C400. If your lab specifically runs a glucose-oxidase (GOD) method, confirm before ordering — this is the HK (hexokinase) reagent. It's distinct from the calibrator and controls used to standardize and monitor the assay. 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 Glucose HK CP used for?

It's the reagent that measures glucose on the Pentra 400 / C400 using the hexokinase (HK) method. Glucose is central to the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes and the management of glucose metabolism.

What does "HK" mean, and why does it matter?

HK stands for hexokinase — the enzyme method this reagent uses. The hexokinase method is widely considered the reference method for glucose because of its high specificity and resistance to interferences that can affect the glucose-oxidase (GOD) method. If your lab requires the hexokinase method, this is the correct reagent.

Which analyzer is P/N 1220001667 compatible with?

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

How many tests does one cassette provide?

Approximately 295 tests. Actual yield depends on your calibration and QC 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 the box REF and the catalog number?

The box shows REF A11A01667; distributors order it as P/N 1220001667. They're the same product — we list both so you find this page from either number.
