Randox Laboratories has launched the Acusera range of lyophilised quality control materials, including Coagulation, Maternal Screening, Clinical Chemistry Premium and Immunoassay Premium.
Others include Immunoassay Premium Plus, Immunoassay Speciality I, Immunoassay Speciality II, Tumour Markers, HbA1c; HbA1c Linearity Setm and b- a a b - Thalassemia Control.
This range of lyophilised quality controls is said to ensure a longer shelf life and stability resulting in greater continuity of lot supply.
Other advantages include more convenient storage at 2C to 8C and easier transportation.
Randox quality controls are true third-party controls in that they are not designed or optimised for use with a specific manufacturer's instrument, calibrator or reagent.
Randox can also provide customised quality control materials tailor made to fit the customer's specifications.
In addition to its range of quality control materials Randox provides 24/7, an internet-driven peer group reporting system and Riqas, an external quality assurance scheme providing customers with 15 EQA programmes.
