Summary: Verichem Laboratories launched a range of liquid stable Total Protein and Albumin clinical reference materials to support accurate calibration verification across various clinical testing systems.

Takeaways:

  1. Ready-to-Use Convenience: The Total Protein/Albumin reference materials are designed for immediate use, requiring no preparation or reconstitution, and can be handled like standard patient specimens.
  2. High Standards and Compliance: Each product batch’s concentration is verified against NIST, ERM, or IFCC standards, ensuring precision, linearity, and compliance with CLIA requirements.
  3. Extended Shelf Life: Thanks to a proprietary preservation formula, the materials boast a 24-month shelf life, enhancing long-term reliability for medical laboratories.

An extensive offering of liquid stable and ready-to-use combined total protein and albumin clinical reference materials are now available from Verichem Laboratories, the company announced.

The multi-level combined Total Protein/Albumin Standard Kit, along with the optional and stand-alone, Total Protein/Albumin Standard – Level F, are specifically designed and manufactured for the calibration verification of albumin and Total Protein assays on a number of clinical testing systems.   

New Lab Reference Materials

Designed to address the needs of a wide variety of medical laboratory professionals, the Verichem Total Protein/Albumin clinical reference materials are treated just as ordinary patient specimens, with no preparation, diluents, or reconstitution required. The materials are prepared with human serum albumin and gamma-globulin serum proteins in a saline-based solution, where the assigned concentration levels have been verified using either NIST, ERM, or IFCC Standard Reference Materials (SRM’s). 

The product’s unique formulation, along with CLIA-compliant set point design, is critical for the determination of the testing method’s accuracy, sensitivity, linearity, and reportable range. Plus, the matrix is stabilized and preserved with a proprietary blend of non-reactive materials, resulting in an exceptional product shelf-life claim of 24 months from the date of manufacture.
