Horiba ABX Pentra HDL Direct CP Reagent – ~240 Tests – Pentra 400 / C400 (P/N 1220001636)

What is it:

The Horiba ABX Pentra HDL Direct CP (P/N 1220001636, REF A11A01636) is a genuine HORIBA reagent for the direct measurement of HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol on the ABX Pentra 400 / Pentra C400 clinical chemistry analyzer. It uses a homogeneous (direct) method and is supplied as a ready-to-use bi-reagent cassette (Reagent 1: 62 mL · Reagent 2: 21 mL), good for approximately 240 tests. For professional in vitro diagnostic use.

Part numbers:

• Catalog P/N: 1220001636
• Box REF: A11A01636

What it's used for:

HDL Direct CP measures HDL cholesterol directly in serum and plasma — a core component of the lipid panel used in cardiovascular risk assessment and the management of lipid disorders. Unlike older precipitation methods that required a separate manual step to isolate HDL, this is a direct homogeneous assay that uses selective detergents to measure HDL-cholesterol straight on the analyzer — faster, fully automated, and well suited to routine high-volume testing. Because HDL is a high-volume lipid test, this is a routinely reordered reagent, used together with the HDL calibrator (P/N 1220001647) and appropriate controls.

What's included:

• 1 × ABX Pentra HDL Direct CP bi-reagent cassette
• Reagent 1: 62 mL · Reagent 2: 21 mL
• Approximately 240 tests per cassette
• Manufactured by HORIBA ABX SAS

Compatible analyzer:

• ABX Pentra 400 (Pentra C400) Clinical Chemistry Analyzer

This is the HDL measurement reagent for the Pentra 400 / C400. It is distinct from the HDL Calibrator (P/N 1220001647, which standardizes the assay) and from lipid controls (which verify QC). Order the HDL item your task requires. 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 HDL Direct CP used for?

It's the reagent that measures HDL cholesterol directly on the Pentra 400 / C400. HDL is a core part of the lipid panel used in cardiovascular risk assessment and lipid-disorder management.

What does "Direct" mean here?

It's a direct (homogeneous) HDL assay — the analyzer measures HDL-cholesterol directly using selective detergents, with no separate precipitation step. Direct methods are faster, fully automated, and better suited to routine high-volume testing than older precipitation methods.

Which analyzer is P/N 1220001636 compatible with?

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

How many tests does one cassette provide?

Approximately 240 tests. Actual yield depends on your calibration and QC frequency.

Is this the reagent or the calibrator?

This is the reagent that runs the HDL test. The HDL Calibrator (P/N 1220001647) is a separate product used to calibrate the assay. Most labs need both — order the one your task requires, or both if you're setting up the test.

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 A11A01636; distributors order it as P/N 1220001636. They're the same product — we list both so you find this page from either number.
