Horiba ABX Pentra HDL Calibrator – Pentra 400 / C400 (P/N 1220001647)

What is it:

The Horiba ABX Pentra HDL Calibrator (P/N 1220001647, REF A11A01647) is a genuine HORIBA calibrator for the ABX Pentra 400 / Pentra C400 clinical chemistry analyzer, used to calibrate the analyzer's HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol assay. Supplied as 2 × 1 mL. For professional in vitro diagnostic use.

Part numbers:

• Catalog P/N: 1220001647
• Box REF: A11A01647

What it's used for:

The HDL Calibrator establishes the known reference point the Pentra 400 uses to produce accurate HDL cholesterol results. By assigning the analyzer's HDL assay to a material of known concentration, the calibrator ensures patient HDL values read true — essential for lipid-panel testing used in cardiovascular risk 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 HDL testing.

What's included:

• 1 × Horiba ABX Pentra HDL Calibrator kit (2 × 1 mL)
• Catalog P/N: 1220001647 · Box REF: A11A01647
• 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 HDL cholesterol calibrator for the Pentra 400 / C400. Calibrators are assay-specific — confirm this matches the HDL 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. Carries a GHS "Warning" classification — follow the Safety Data Sheet for handling and disposal. Non-returnable once shipped.

FAQs:

What is the Horiba ABX Pentra HDL Calibrator used for?

It calibrates the HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol assay on the Pentra 400 / C400, establishing a known reference point so patient HDL results read accurately. It's used as part of routine lipid-panel testing.

Which analyzer is P/N 1220001647 compatible with?

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

How much is in the kit?

The kit contains 2 × 1 mL.

How often should I calibrate HDL?

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 A11A01647; distributors order it as P/N 1220001647. They're the same product — we list both so you find this page from either number.
