Recalled Products

A. Anti-DS DNA Kit

Reason

Specific product codes for the Anti-dsDNA kit were omitted in error. This means that customers have received the correct products, due to the omission of the product code on the outer box, it is not clearly identifiable if they have received the 50 tests version (IM77 lot C323026) or 100 tests version (IM771 lot C323027). The kits may be differentiated by the lot numbers printed on the outer box. The individual component labelling within the kit has not been affected. Also, the tracer and ammonium sulphate solution lot numbers were omitted for these particular lots of product.
