• Compatibility: They are compatible with any Alere/Abbott urine drug screen device.
• Storage Requirement: These liquid controls require refrigeration for proper storage and integrity. Certain variants may also necessitate expedited shipment on ice.

Yes, these Abbott Toxicology iScreen External Controls are designed to ensure quality control across the manufacturer’s testing line. They are compatible with any Alere/Abbott urine drug screen device.

These essential liquid control solutions are used to:

• Validate the overall test performance.
• Confirm the expected results for urine drug screening procedures.

The Abbott Toxicology iScreen External Controls are offered in two convenient liquid solution sizes, allowing you to choose the volume best suited for your testing frequency and laboratory needs:

• 5mL vials
• 20mL vials

These flexible options ensure effective validation of urine drug screening performance in various clinical and office settings.

The Abbott Toxicology iScreen External Controls are liquid solutions designed for quality control and must maintain a cold chain for accuracy and integrity.

• Required Storage: These controls must be refrigerated at all times.
• Shipping Requirement: To maintain product integrity, several variants explicitly require expedited shipment on ice to ensure the cold chain is maintained during transit. They should be stored immediately upon receipt.

Yes, the iScreen External Controls are offered in several precise liquid configurations to ensure the accuracy and reliability of urine drug screens.

Key configurations include:

• Negative Control: Verifies the absence of target substances.
• Positive Control (Standard and High): Used for routine validation, including a specialized 3X Cutoff concentration for advanced performance checks.
• Cotinine Specific Control (2X Positive): A targeted solution for validating cotinine screening.

These controls are available in 5mL and 20mL liquid solution vials or as convenient kits containing both positive and negative controls. Please note that refrigeration is required for proper storage and stability.

The Abbott Toxicology iScreen External Controls are manufactured in the USA.

Yes, the Abbott Toxicology iScreen External Controls are specifically engineered for quality control, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of your urine drug screening procedures. Their primary function is to validate the performance and confirm the expected results of any compatible Alere/Abbott urine drug screen device.

These versatile liquid solutions are offered in several configurations to meet diverse lab needs:

• Positive Controls: Available at 3X cutoff concentration.
• Negative Controls: For baseline validation.
• Cotinine Specific Control: A specialized 2X Positive Cotinine option.
• Comprehensive Kits: Include both positive and negative vials.

They are available in both 5mL and 20mL liquid solution vials.

Important Storage Requirement: Due to their composition, these controls require refrigeration for proper storage and may necessitate expedited shipment on ice to maintain cold chain requirements.

The Abbott Toxicology iScreen External Controls are liquid solutions specifically designed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of compatible urine drug screening procedures using established standards.

Here is how the validation works:

• Negative Controls: Verify that the screening device correctly registers the absence of drugs, which is crucial for preventing false positive results.
• Positive Controls: Confirm that the screening device accurately detects the targeted drug substances at or above specific cutoff levels, preventing false negative results.
  • Specific configurations include High Positive (3X Cutoff) controls, designed to validate performance at a concentration three times the standard cutoff.
• Cotinine Specific Controls (2X Positive): Specifically check the performance of cotinine drug screens at a 2X positive concentration level.

These controls are intended for use with any of Abbott’s urine drug screens and are supplied in 5mL or 20mL liquid solution vials.

Important Storage Note: Due to their composition, these external controls must be stored under refrigeration to maintain stability and efficacy.

The Abbott Toxicology iScreen External Controls are designed with versatility to ensure accurate and reliable validation of your urine drug screening tests.

Key Control Types and Concentrations:

• Negative Controls: For verifying the absence of tested substances.
• Positive Controls: Including a standard format and a High Positive 3X Cutoff option for comprehensive validation checks.
• Cotinine Specific Control: A specialized 2X Positive variant is available.

Volume and Kit Options:

• The liquid controls are offered in two flexible sizes: 5mL vials and 20mL vials.
• Combination kits are also available in both 5mL and 20mL sets, including both a Positive and a Negative control vial.
