With this addition, Stago is proud to offer the only complete portfolio of assays for measurement of DOACs. Fully automated with barcoded loading on Stago’s high throughput analyzers, STA®-ECA II enables laboratories an efficient and standardized approach to measure dabigatran in plasma samples. STA®-ECA II is labeled for research use only (not for use in diagnostic procedures), along with the associated dabigatran calibrators and controls.
STA®-ECA II is a highly-specific tool for directly measuring dabigatran (Pradaxa®) concentration in plasma and is insensitive to lupus anticoagulants and heparin along with coagulation factor and fibrinogen levels. With a wide working range of 15 – 460 ng/mL and 28 day, 2-8°C stability, Stago’s STA®-ECA II is flexible for a variety of sample testing requirements.
Compared to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based methods, STA®-ECA II demonstrates excellent correlation for measurement of total dabigatran (Pradaxa®) concentrations. The STA®-ECA II provides confidence in results across the entire measurement range, with an advantage over other methods, especially for samples with low concentrations.
The STA®-ECA II kit (catalog number 01108), along with the STA®-Dabigatran Calibrator (catalog number 01109) and STA®-Dabigatran Control (catalog number 01110) products are labeled for research use only in the United States and Canada, and are not for use in diagnostic procedures.
