Frequently asked questions
Is this control based on real human blood?
Yes, the Lyphochek Whole Blood Metals Control is derived from human whole blood. This ensures that the control matrix closely mimics patient samples for more reliable and clinically accurate heavy metal testing.
Does the lyophilized form offer better stability?
Absolutely. By using a lyophilized (freeze-dried) format, the integrity and stability of the control are significantly enhanced compared to liquid alternatives, ensuring that your quality control results remain consistent over time.
Is this suitable for government laboratory standards?
Yes, this product is fully compliant with both the Buy American Act (BAA) and the Trade Agreement Act (TAA), making it a reliable choice for government and highly regulated clinical laboratory environments.
Why is a tri-level configuration helpful for my lab?
The Tri-Level MiniPak configuration allows your laboratory to:
- Monitor a broader range of analytical concentrations.
- Validate accuracy across different clinical diagnostic requirements.
- Improve the precision and reliability of heavy metal assays.
Are there specific temperature requirements for storage?
Yes, to maintain the chemical integrity of the lyophilized material, this product requires refrigeration. Proper cold-chain storage is essential to guarantee the precision of your assays upon reconstitution.
