Albumin liquicolor Conversion Factor

To convert the obtained results into the previously known concentrations


Photometric Colorimetric Test for Albumin of HUMAN apply the formula below:
BCG-Method Concentration (CRM 470) x 1.218 = Concentration (Human)

[REF] 10560 1 x 1000 ml Complete test kit Linearity
156004 4 x 100 ml Complete test kit The test is linear up to an albumin concentration of 6,5 g/dl or 65 g/l.
[IVD] Dilute samples with a higher concentration 1 + 1 with physiological saline
(0.9%). Multiply the result by 2.
