Summary: Verichem Laboratories has introduced liquid stable, multi-level clinical reference materials designed for universal compatibility with major diagnostic systems, ensuring precise calibration and verification of Acetaminophen and Salicylate assays.

Takeaways:

  1. Universal Compatibility: These reference materials are compatible with diagnostic systems from leading manufacturers like Abbott, Roche, Siemens, and Beckman Coulter.
  2. High Accuracy and Stability: Featuring a serum-like matrix and NIST-traceable verification, the materials ensure exceptional accuracy, stability, and lot-to-lot consistency.
  3. Extended Shelf Life: Packaged in convenient dropper vials, the materials offer an 18-month shelf life and include additional components, such as Ethanol and Lactate, for enhanced assay calibration.

Verichem Laboratories announced the availability of a liquid stable and ready-to-use set of multi-level clinical reference materials intended for calibration and calibration verification of Acetaminophen and Salicylate assays on a wide array of diagnostic testing systems. 

Reference Materials with Universal Compatibility

These reference materials are expressly designed to be treated as patient specimens and feature universal instrument compatibility, making them available for use on a wide assortment of clinical instrument systems, including those from Abbott, Beckman Coulter, Roche, and Siemens, among others. 

Materials for Acetaminophen and Salicylate

Verichem’s clinical reference materials for Acetaminophen and Salicylate come in a ready-to-use, liquid stable format which incorporates the serum-like reactivity of a protein based matrix, coupled with the gravimetric  accuracy of an absolute standard. The product’s CLIA-compliant set point design is vital for the determination of test method accuracy, sensitivity, linearity, and reportable range (AMR). Plus, the unique bio-synthetic matrix, which is free of surfactants, glycols, azides, and other interfering substances, allows for maximum product stability and exceptional lot-to-lot consistency, while the six available concentration levels are all verified using available Standard Reference Materials from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) .

Verichem’s clinical reference materials for Acetaminophen and Salicylate are ergonomically packaged in a kit format containing five milliliters (5.0 mL) of material at each six available concentration levels, along with a Certificate of Analysis, indicating NIST traceability and actual lot testing data. All the materials are filled in easy-to-use, translucent polyethylene dropper vials and feature an exceptional shelf-life stability claim of 18 months when stored at refrigerated temperatures of 2° to 8°C. 

As a bonus, the product also contains the components Ethanol and Lactate, with concentrations all within a known linear relation, that may also be used to determine the calibration verification of these clinical assays as well.
