INFORMATION ON THE SAMPLE MATERIAL

Brochure: SAA-Easy-Reader_GB_20200217

• SAA-CHECK-1 can be performed with whole blood, plasma or serum of cat and
horse.
• The sample material should be collected under the standard laboratory conditions
(especially in such a way as to avoid hemolysis).
• When the test is to be performed with whole blood, fresh samples should be used
(< 4 hours).
• At 2–8 °C, the whole blood, plasma or serum can be stored up to 24 hours. If the
test is to be run after 24 hours, the sample should be stored at minimum −20 °C.
Completely thaw samples before testing! Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
• Mix the sample material well before use!
• Keep in mind that the sample material, as well as all used test-kit components,
should have reached room temperature at the time of application.
• ATTENTION: Partially filled and / or insufficient mixed EDTA, Citrate or Heparintubes could create interference effects resulting in unspecific test results.
