Application Sheets
Updates of August 2026
Application Sheets are instructions on how to use our biochemistry kits on a specific biochemistry analyzer. They contain the best advice for the best results.

What are Application Sheets?
What is the difference with the instructions for use found in the kits?
The instructions for use are not analyzer specific. They are made for use with photometers with plastic cuvettes and manual calculations. They give a "general" idea on how to use the kits.
Application sheets are analyzer specific. They consider the analyzer specifics (like calculation methods, measurement interval, blank options, wavelengths...) and include expert advice on how to improve the precision and accuracy of the results.
How is the precision and accuracy "improved"?
One important factor is the reduction of carryover of samples and reagents. A carryover occurs when the residue of a previous liquid influences the current measurement.
The reduction in carryover is obtained by optimizing aspiration volumes, air gaps and washing cycles. Other techniques for improvement are changes to the incubation time, the use of a secondary wavelength and modifications to the sample or reagent ratios.
