New Quality Controls from Randox Enable Reliable Patient Results

Randox Laboratories announces expansion to the Acusera range with the introduction of several new quality controls. The new range of Liquid controls eliminates the need for reconstitution minimising the risk of human error saving laboratories both time and money. The new lyophilised range of controls ensures a longer shelf life and stability, resulting in greater continuity of lot supply, more convenient storage at 2-8oC and easier transportation.

New quality controls from Randox include:

• Coagulation
• Maternal Screening
• Clinical Chemistry Premium
• Immunoassay Premium
• Immunoassay Premium Plus
• Immunoassay Speciality I
• Immunoassay Speciality II
• Tumour Markers
• Liquid Chemistry Premium
• Liquid Chemistry Premium Plus
• Liquid Immunoassay Premium
• Liquid Cardiac
• Blood Gas
• Urinalysis

A wide range of formats are available providing laboratories with greater flexibility and choice. The extensive product range includes liquid or lyophilised, assayed or unassayed and human or bovine, customers can even choose between multi-analyte controls or single analyte controls depending on their laboratory needs. In addition to this Randox can also provide customised quality control materials should there be something you wish to change or adjust. Customised can mean anything from a change in the number of analytes, vial size, concentration or format.

Randox quality controls can be described as true third party controls in that they are not designed or optimised for use with any particular reagent, method or instrument and are designed to be compatible for use on any analyser. Furthermore totally independent laboratories are used to assign our controls resulting in genuinely independent, multi-method, and multi-analyser data.

To complement the range of quality controls Randox can also offer Randox Acusera 24-7, an internal quality control and peer group reporting software package designed to extend the capabilities of internal quality control by providing a tool to monitor and analyse daily control data and compare results with other laboratories using the same lot of control.
