Randox has launched two liquid assayed chemistry controls which it believes will revolutionise Quality Control in medical laboratories.
Acusera Liquid Assayed Chemistry Premium and Premium Plus are designed to drastically cut the number of individual quality controls (QC) a laboratory needs to run in routine medical testing.
Using the Randox controls, laboratories can run QC on up to 100 analytes all within one test, without compromising performance or accuracy.
Randox claims that the controls are the most comprehensive on the world market to date, containing a combination of proteins, lipids, immunoassays, cardiac markers, blood markers, therapeutic drugs and routine chemistry analytes.
The Acusera Chemistry Premium Plus control contains 100 analytes, whilst the Acusera Chemistry Premium control offers 91.
Product features:
- The high levels of CRP and other key proteins included eliminate the need for multiple controls, dramatically streamlining QC.
- Assayed controls provide clinically significant values for a wide range of analysers at key decision points.
- Both controls are liquid for ease of use, eliminating possible reconstitution errors and improving lab efficiency.
- Available in three concentration levels (low, mid and high), Premium Plus covers the full clinical range, removing the need for laboratories to purchase additional low or high level controls.
- The controls are highly stable when stored at -20 to -70°C with open vial stability of up to 7 days at 2-8°c, reducing wastage.Manufactured using human-based serum, ensuring performance that closely mirrors patient samples.
- As true third party controls, laboratories are assured of truly unbiased, independent assessment of analytical performance and as such help deliver highly accurate results and patient diagnosis.
- The controls are now available in the UK, Europe, Middle East, Far East and Africa. Randox is currently awaiting product approval from the US FDA and China SFDA.
