NGAL Quantitative Test Cassette: Specifying the Reader and the Sample Before the Box

Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) Quantitative Test Cassette (Quantum Dot Fluorescence Immunochromatography)

NGAL measurement sits between central laboratory chemistry and near-patient testing. The Guoke Medical cassette, product code GKPD067, is a component in that workflow rather than a standalone instrument.

The stated method is quantum dot fluorescence immunochromatography using a double antibody sandwich format. It reports a quantitative NGAL concentration rather than a visual threshold read.

Four matrices are named: whole blood, serum, plasma, and urine. Each carries different collection, centrifugation, and timing requirements, so the practical question is which matrices a given laboratory actually intends to run.

Packing is listed at 25 tests per box. That figure matters for smaller clinics weighing wastage against reagent shelf life, and for higher-volume sites calculating reorder intervals.

Quantum dot fluorescence cassettes require a compatible fluorescence reader, plus lot-specific calibration handling. The supplied material does not name a reader, so instrument compatibility should be confirmed directly with the supplier.

Availability, pack configuration, minimum order quantity, lead time, and documentation are all quoted on request. For professional diagnostic use, buyers should obtain the instructions for use, storage conditions, expiry, lot release information, and the regulatory status applicable to their market.

Ordering the cassette is the simple part. The risk sits in whether the reader, the sample pathway, and the paperwork match the intended clinical setting.

Why it matters:
Verify reader compatibility, sample-type validation, and market-specific documentation before committing to a volume. Those three items determine whether the cassette is usable on arrival or sits in storage.
