VERICHEM LABORATORIES announced that it offers medical laboratory professionals an extensive array of liquid stable and ready-to-use clinical reference materials for Total Cholesterol, High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), and Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) testing.
Intended for calibration and calibration verification procedures, the Matrix Plus Total Cholesterol Reference Kit; the Matrix Plus Total Cholesterol Reference – Level F; and the HDL Cholesterol Verifier Kit support overall laboratory QA and QC efforts. The product design provides materials that are intended to be treated as human specimens and feature universal compatibility with a wide variety of automated chemistry clinical systems.
All of VERICHEM’s clinical reference materials for Total Cholesterol, HDL, and LDL are protein-based and incorporate a proprietary stabilization process, free of azides, glycols, or surfactants. The serum-like formulation also contains a critical blend of highly purified human source material and bovine biologicals in saline.
The Matrix Plus Total Cholesterol Reference Kit, along with the optional Level F, comprise a multi-level six concentration set of materials, with Total Cholesterol values ranging from 40mg/dL to 750mg/dL. Each active component is verified using available Standard Reference Materials from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and fully documented with a Certificate of Analysis.
VERICHEM’s HDL Cholesterol Verifier Kit also comprises a six-level concentration set of HDL and LDL Cholesterol determined via direct measurement using certified reference method calibration materials. This kit also includes a Value Assignment Sheet with target values assigned using various clinical methods. The product is ergonomically packaged with 5.0mL of material at each concentration level. All materials are filled within easy-to-use, translucent polyethylene dropper vials and feature a shelf-life stability claim of 14-months from the date of manufacture, when stored at temperatures of -15° to -25°C. Plus, this product can be frozen and thawed for up to 10 cycles, without affecting concentration accuracy or test performance.
