Alpha Laboratories is the exclusive UK supplier of Precision BioLogic’s range of cryocheck Factor Deficient Plasmas.
Designed to provide significant quality and productivity improvements for the haemostasis laboratory, the frozen, platelet-poor plasmas are immunodepleted and assayed at less than 1% for the specific factor, by functional and antigenic methods.
The plasma is buffered and frozen, resulting in an excellent quality product that is consistent vial to vial.?
Because the product is ready to use, reconstitution is not required. The removes the risk of error or inaccuracy from pipetting or calibration of pipettes.
The frozen cryocheck range of Factor Deficient Plasmas provides consistent product every time.
Using frozen plasmas also brings valuable process improvements and time savings. Prior to use, they just need to be removed from their -40 to -80C storage and thawed in a water bath at 37C for 4-5 minutes, depending on the vial size.
Finally, frozen plasma has a long shelf life, typically three years from the date of manufacture, versus a shelf life of two years for lyophilised plasma.
The benefit of having longer shelf life means that standardising the test method with lot changes of reagents is reduced, thus lowering the set-up cost and reducing interruptions to work flow.
