Chemiluminescence immunoassay is how a Philippine laboratory brings thyroid, cardiac, fertility and tumour-marker testing in house instead of sending it out and waiting on a referral laboratory. Framar supplies the Mindray CL-series reagent menu for the CL-900i and CL-2600i, with onboard barcode identification so no manual assay setup is needed, and with the matching calibrators and quality controls. Immunoassay reagents are the least forgiving item in a laboratory cold chain, so we deliver each assay together with its calibrator and controls rather than as separate orders arriving on different days.
How chemiluminescence immunoassay works
A chemiluminescence immunoassay measures light rather than colour. The reagent carries antibodies bound to microscopic paramagnetic particles, and those antibodies capture the one analyte being measured out of the patient sample. A second antibody carrying a chemiluminescent label binds to the captured analyte as well, so each captured molecule ends up sandwiched between a particle and a label. A magnet then holds the particles in place while everything unbound is washed away, and that step is what gives immunoassay its sensitivity: what remains is only what was genuinely captured. Adding a trigger solution makes the label emit light, and the analyzer counts photons. More analyte means more label retained and more light. That is why wash buffer and substrate solution are consumables in their own right rather than accessories, and why they are ordered alongside every assay on the menu. For very small analytes a competitive format is used instead, in which the patient sample and a labelled version of the analyte compete for a limited number of antibody sites, so the light signal falls as concentration rises.

Buying clia immunoassay reagents in the Philippines
Framar supplies these to hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, clinics and health units nationwide, scheduled against your actual monthly volume rather than shipped in one lump. The engineers who install and maintain the analyzer are the same team that plans the supply behind it, so the schedule is built from what your bench actually gets through rather than from a fixed reorder quantity. Pricing depends on volume, delivery interval and whether the analyzer is on a reagent-supply arrangement, so we quote per laboratory rather than publishing a list price. See what our service covers, or send us your monthly counts and we will reply within one business day.
Questions about clia immunoassay reagents
How much do Mindray CLIA reagents cost in the Philippines?
Immunoassay pricing depends on which assays you run and at what monthly volume, how often you calibrate, and the delivery interval to your site, so we quote per laboratory rather than publishing a list price. Send us your assay mix and monthly counts and we reply with a supply schedule and a quotation within one business day.
Which shared consumables does every CLIA assay need?
Every assay on the CL series draws on the same wash buffer, substrate solution and reaction cuvettes regardless of which analyte is being measured, so those are planned against your total immunoassay volume rather than per assay. Framar includes them in the schedule automatically, because running out of substrate stops the whole immunoassay bench rather than one test.
Do we need a separate calibrator for every immunoassay?
Yes. Each assay is calibrated against its own Mindray calibrator, and controls are then run to your laboratory quality control policy to prove the calibration held. Controls are usually shared across a panel, so one thyroid control covers TSH, FT3, FT4, T3 and T4 together, while calibrators are assay-specific.
