Horiba ABX Pentra Iron CP Reagent – ~327 Tests – Pentra 400 / C400 (P/N 1220001637)

What is it:

The Horiba ABX Pentra Iron CP (P/N 1220001637, REF A11A01637) is a genuine HORIBA reagent for measuring serum iron on the ABX Pentra 400 / Pentra C400 clinical chemistry analyzer. It uses the ferrozine colorimetric method and is supplied as a ready-to-use bi-reagent cassette (Reagent 1: 60 mL · Reagent 2: 20 mL), good for approximately 327 tests. For professional in vitro diagnostic use.

Part numbers:

• Catalog P/N: 1220001637
• Box REF: A11A01637

What it's used for:

Iron CP measures iron in serum and plasma — used to evaluate iron metabolism, diagnose iron-deficiency and iron-overload conditions, and assess anemia alongside related tests. The assay uses the ferrozine colorimetric method: under acidic conditions iron is released from transferrin and reduced to its ferrous form, which then reacts with ferrozine to form a colored complex the analyzer measures, proportional to the iron concentration. As a routine chemistry test, this is a regularly reordered reagent, used together with the appropriate calibrator and controls.

What's included:

• 1 × ABX Pentra Iron CP bi-reagent cassette
• Reagent 1: 60 mL · Reagent 2: 20 mL
• Approximately 327 tests per cassette
• Manufactured by HORIBA ABX SAS

Compatible analyzer:

• ABX Pentra 400 (Pentra C400) Clinical Chemistry Analyzer

This is the iron measurement reagent for the Pentra 400 / C400. It's distinct from the calibrator and controls used to standardize and monitor the assay. Not for use with non-HORIBA instruments.

FAQs:

What is the Horiba ABX Pentra Iron CP used for?

It's the reagent that measures serum iron on the Pentra 400 / C400 using the ferrozine colorimetric method. Iron testing is used to evaluate iron metabolism and to diagnose iron-deficiency and iron-overload conditions.

Which analyzer is P/N 1220001637 compatible with?

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

How many tests does one cassette provide?

Approximately 327 tests. Actual yield depends on your calibration and QC frequency.

What method does it use?

The ferrozine colorimetric method — under acidic conditions iron is released from transferrin and reduced to ferrous iron, which forms a colored complex with ferrozine measured by the analyzer in proportion to the iron concentration.

Is it hazardous? How do I handle it safely?

It carries a GHS "Danger" classification (H318, causes serious eye damage) due to its acidic reagent. Wear eye protection and gloves, avoid eye and skin contact, and follow the Safety Data Sheet for handling, spill, and first-aid guidance.

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 A11A01637; distributors order it as P/N 1220001637. They're the same product — we list both so you find this page from either number.
