Methodology

Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay (Abbott Architect i2000)

Reported

1-4 days

Additional Information

Method changed from Siemens Centaur XP platform to Abbott Architect i2000 platform on 3/19/2018. The Abbott Architect method reads approximately 63% higher than the Centaur method.  Please note that the reference ranges have changed.

Results for this test are generated by immunoassay using the Abbott Architect i2000 platform.  Results for this test determined by assay methods from other manufacturers may not be comparable.

The Architect CEA internal standards are traceable to the World Health Organization (WHO) 1st International Standard 73/601 for CEA at each concentration level.  Architect CEA Calibrators are manufactured by dilution and tested against these internal reference standards.
