The Randox Acusera range of liquid ready-to-use quality controls is ideal for use in point-of-care testing at, or near the patient's bedside.
The controls are said to offer a range of benefits, making them user-friendly and suitable for use by non-laboratory personnel.
Randox said very little training is necessary as the controls are liquid stable and ready to use.
By eliminating the need for dilution or reconstitution, the risk of human error is minimised.
Liquid-stable controls also eliminate the need to thaw controls before use, freeing up staff time, while colour-coded caps allow different levels to be identified quickly and easily, reducing the risk of costly errors.
The control products include: Blood Gas - multi-analyte control with assayed values provided for 10 analytes, method-specific target values and ranges are also quoted for the most common instruments; Liquid Cardiac - assayed values are provided for 10 analytes including Troponin I +T, D-dimer and NT-proBNP, an open vial stability of 30 days at 2C-8C minimises waste; Drugs of Abuse - assayed values are provided for 13 different drugs of abuse, an open vial stability of 30 days at 2C-8C minimises waste; and Urinalyses - multi-analyte control containing assayed values for 13 analytes, designed for use with a range of test strip manufacturers with an open vial stability of 30 days at 2C-8C.
