Alpha Laboratories have launched Streck controls designed to provide accuracy and consistency to laboratories looking to implement ISO 15189 standards.
Laboratories seeking UKAS accreditation will have to demonstrate that their testing service follows defined quality assurance levels, performing with competence and consistency.
That means removing risks of variability wherever possible.
Control materials that follow the patient pathway can assist with this by providing greater confidence in test system results, over controls that use artificial materials, or that do not enumerate accurately over a number of parameters.
Streck controls from Alpha Laboratories aim to do exactly that. They contain true cellular material that undergoes the same procedural conditions as a patient sample.
Available for numerous analytes each control provides at least two clinically relevant ranges - whether that is for haematology controls or testing a urine sample on an automated microscopy system.
The company’s range of PrecisionBioLogic products for haemostasis is designed for convenience, efficiency and quality with ready-to-use frozen format controls, reference plasmas and assays.
The buffered, frozen products ensure consistency vial to vial and prevent reconstitution errors.
Every lot has an assay certificate providing full traceability and the long shelf life saves time by reducing the frequency of standardisation between lot changes. ?
