AP3600 System
The AP3600 system is the instrument into which the patient sera and the Pette test chambers are placed. The AP3600 is a fully auto-
mated instrument which tests and tracks each sample after the samples and Pettes are placed into it. Operation is started from the
DMS software.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Con-
figuration Protocol)
The network protocol used on the AP3600 to obtain an IP address.
DMS (Data Management
System)
This is the software used to run the AP3600 system.
LMC (Luminometer Count)
This value refers to the amount of light emitted by each well in the Pette. The amount of light emitted by each allergen well at th end of
testing is directly proportional to the amount of allergen-specific IgE in the patient serum.
Negative Blanking Control
This compensates for non-specific IgE binding that may occur.
OPTIGEN
®
This is the in vitro chemiluminescent assay used by the AP3600 system. OPTIGEN is a registered trademark of Hitachi Chemical
Diagnostics.
Pette Test Chamber (Pette)
This single use, disposable plastic device contains 36 allergens or allergen mixes and 2 controls (38 lenslets total). The Pette also
contains Positive Procedural Control and Negative Blanking Control wells.
Pette Tip
A single use, disposable tip is placed onto a Pette test chamber before use. When the tip is pressed down, it is opened for aspiration
or draining.
Positive Procedural Con-
trol
This confirms reagent performance and provides a check for correct testing procedure.
Sample Cup
This plastic cup holds a patient’s serum in the sample cup carousel of the AP3600.
Sodium Azide
This compound is used as a preservative in the Wash Buffer concentrate. It is highly toxic by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption.
Tween
™
20
This non-ionic surfactant is used in the Wash Buffer concentrate to suppress non-specific reactions between antibodies, antigens, and
other molecules.
