Carcinoembryonic Antigen Determined by Immunoassay in 28 Minutes

It measures quantitative concentrations of CEA in 50 µL of either serum or lithium-heparin plasma samples after 28 minutes of processing time.

Olympus, (Center Valley, PA, USA) has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA; Rockville, MD, USA) clearance for the Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) immunoassay using the Olympus AU3000i immunoassay system. Samples containing CEA concentrations exceeding 500 ng/mL are autodiluted onboard (1:1000) for a clinical reportable range of approximately 500,000 ng/mL. Each CEA kit is sufficient to process 200 tests, and contains CEA reagents, a single ready-to-use calibrator, and a single ready-to-use control. Reagents are stable onboard the AU3000i system for 28 days.
