To fulfil regulatory requirements, laboratories must perform regular internal quality control (IQC) on at least two concentration levels (normal and abnormal) to check and confirm the performance of their testing systems.
Assayed (titrated) IQC plasmas are used to evaluate the precision and accuracy of the reagent-analyser combination and therefore to ensure the reliability of your patients’ results.
Stago’s new STA®-Routine QC range provides:
- several concentration levels reflecting most clinical scenarios (normal, abnormal, and ultra-abnormal)
- extended 24-hour stability and a 2-ml vial, enabling several series of IQC tests to be performed each day while optimising your operating budget
- multiparameter controls whose values are assayed against international standards
- automatic management of all your data via barcodes (values, batch number, stability, expiry date, etc.).
Two new assayed IQC plasmas are now available for routine testing:
- STA®-Routine QC 2 ml Ref. 00554 (normal and abnormal level) for the following parameters: PT (sec, %, and INR), APTT, fibrinogen, thrombin time, and antithrombin activity.
- STA®-Routine QC P Plus Ref. 00714 (ultra-abnormal level) for the following parameters: PT (sec and %), APTT, fibrinogen, thrombin time, and antithrombin activity.
