Serum Clause Samples
The 'Serum' clause defines the terms and conditions related to the provision, use, or handling of serum within an agreement. Typically, this clause specifies the type of serum involved, its intended use (such as for research, medical, or manufacturing purposes), and any requirements for quality, storage, or delivery. For example, it may outline the standards the serum must meet, responsibilities for testing, or procedures for reporting defects. The core function of this clause is to ensure both parties have a clear understanding of their obligations regarding serum, thereby minimizing disputes and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations or quality standards.
Serum. High resolution protein electrophoresis patterns are primarily interpreted by comparing the relative intensities of the bands obtained on unknown specimens with those obtained on known normal individuals. One of the most common abnormal serum protein patterns is that observed in the non-specific inflammatory response which is characterized by an increase in α1-antitrypsin and haptoglobin with decreased prealbumin, albumin and transferrin. While it is not useful in establishing a general diagnosis, it is useful in monitoring a patient’s response to therapy. Other examples of clinically important variations are: - elevation of the transferrin band, suggesting a low level of iron - presence of monoclonal proteins, suggesting abnormalities of the immune system - low haptoglobin, suggesting elevated RBC turnover or in-vitro hemolysis - CRP presence, indicating an acute inflammatory response - low prealbumin, albumin and transferrin with diffuse hypergammaglobulinemia, suggesting chronic inflammation, infection or antigenic stimulation - low C3 on fresh samples, suggesting complement consumption.
Serum. The patient serum samples are diluted 1:3 (1 part serum with 2 parts 0.85% saline) for serum protein lanes and diluted 1:5 (1 part serum with 4 parts 0.85% saline) for immunofix lanes. NOTE: Due to desired sensitivity variations, serum samples may also be diluted as follows: IgG = 1:5 to 1:10 IgA = undiluted to 1:5 IgM = undiluted to 1:5 λ = undiluted to 1:5 The more concentrated samples are more likely to prozone while the more diluted samples may not exhibit desired sensitivity.
