Expanded Range of Quality Control Sera Ensures Reliable Results

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 10 Aug 2009

An expanded range of quality control sera ensures reliable results for the clinical laboratory, as well as being timesaving and economic.

Called Acusera, the new range includes controls for blood gas, coagulation, drugs of abuse, heart (liquid cardiac), liquid clinical chemistry, maternal screening, tumor markers, and urinalysis.

Acusera, produced by Randox (Crumlin, UK), is supplied with accurate instrument and method-specific values. Bottles, caps, and packaging are color-coded to help distinguish different analyte levels and minimize errors. Quality-control materials can be used alongside Randox reagents or as third-party controls from an independent manufacturer. Randox also offers quality-control materials tailored to customers' specifications.

Randox is an international diagnostics company, which develops, manufactures, and markets clinical diagnostic products worldwide. Core products include biochip array technology; clinical chemistry analyzers and reagents; quality controls; and recombinant proteins and antibodies.
