Summary: Verichem Labs introduced an extensive line of liquid-stable, multi-analyte calibration verification kits designed for electrolyte assays.

Takeaways:

  1. Broad Compatibility: Verichem’s calibration kits support various testing methodologies, including flame photometry, direct and indirect ISE, and enzymatic/colorimetric assays.
  2. Long-Term Stability & Compliance: The kits feature stability claims of up to 21 months and meet CLIA requirements for verifying clinical system accuracy and reportable range.
  3. Enhanced Usability & Electrode Protection: Free from interfering substances, the kits include easy-to-use dropper vials with NIST/ACS-traceable concentration levels, ensuring reliability and electrode safety.

Verichem Laboratories is offering the in-vitro diagnostics market an extensive line of liquid stable and multi-analyte kits of clinical reference materials intended for the calibration verification of electrolyte assays on a broad number of automated testing systems. 

Aimed at addressing the needs of a wide variety of medical laboratory professionals, the materials are designed to be treated as patient samples for use with systems employing either flame photometer, direct ISE, indirect ISE,  or standard enzymatic/colorimetric testing methodologies.

Electrolyte Standard Kit

Verichem’s multi-analyte/level Electrolyte Standard Kit contains the analytes Chloride, Ionized Calcium, Lithium, Potassium, and Sodium and features a twenty-one month stability claim; the ISE Standard Kit contains Chloride, Lithium, Potassium, and Sodium and offers an eighteen month stability claim; and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) assays are covered by the CO2 Standard Kit and the stand alone, ultra-high CO2 Standard – Level F, both offering a fifteen month stability claim. 

All products are free of azides, glycols, surfactants, and other potentially interfering substances for maximum electrode protection,  and feature NIST/ACS verified and traceable concentration levels. The material’s unique matrix formulations, set point designs, and equidistant target concentrations meet the current CLIA requirements for verification materials with known values for the determination of a clinical system’s accuracy, sensitivity, linearity, and reportable range. Plus, all available kits feature an ergonomic packaging design, with the reference materials filled within in easy-to-use, translucent polyethylene dropper vials, with fifteen milliliters (15.0 mL) of material at each concentration level and shipped with a Certificate of Analysis included.
