Common use of REFERENCE VALUES Clause in Contracts

REFERENCE VALUES. The reference range presented was established with the Split Beta SPE System on 50 normal specimens using the SPIFE 4000 Analyzer. These values are presented as a guideline. % of_Total Protein Albumin 48.1 – 59.5 Alpha1 2.3 – 4.9 Alpha2 6.9 – 13.0 Beta 13.8 – 19.7 Gamma 10.1 – 21.9 Each laboratory should perform its own normal range study. Variations of Expected Values5 Studies show that values are the same for both males and nonpregnant females. (Some differences are seen in pregnant females at term and in women on oral contraceptives.) Age has some effect on normal levels. Cord blood has decreased total protein, albumin, alpha2 and beta fractions, slightly increased alpha1 and normal or increased gamma fractions (largely of maternal origin). The gamma globulins drop rapidly until about three months of age, while the other fractions have reached adult levels by this time. Adult levels of the gamma globulins are not reached until 16 years of age. The albumin decreases and beta globulin increases after the age of 40.
