Mindray Carbohydrate Antigen 242 (CA242) CLIA Reagent Kit

Mindray Carbohydrate Antigen 242 (CA242) CLIA Reagent Kit is an in vitro diagnostic chemiluminescence immunoassay for the quantitative determination of Carbohydrate Antigen 242 using compatible Mindray CL-series automatic chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzers. Mindray officially includes CA242 in its tumor-marker CLIA test menu, and its CLIA reagents are supplied as liquid, ready-to-use systems. CA242 is a tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen used as an aid in the clinical assessment and monitoring of gastrointestinal malignancies, particularly pancreatic and colorectal cancers. Results should be interpreted together with clinical findings and other diagnostic investigations rather than used alone to diagnose cancer.
