Frequently asked questions

What are the handling and dating requirements for these calibrators?

These Beckman Coulter calibrators are critical diagnostic reagents that require specialized handling and have strict expiration guidelines:

  • Condition and Authenticity: All calibrators are supplied in Factory New condition directly from the manufacturer, Beckman Coulter, Inc.
  • Refrigeration Required: Due to their nature, all variants are refrigerated items and must be stored according to cold chain logistics guidelines.
  • Short Dating Requirements: Specific configurations are designated as short-dated:
    • The S-CAL Calibrator (1 x 4.2mL) has a maximum shelf life dating of 26 days upon receipt.
    • The Ac-T 5diff Calibrator (2 x 2mL) has a minimum expiry lead time of 30 days.

The standard lead time for this product is approximately 1–2 Weeks.

Do these critical calibrators require cold storage?

Yes, these Beckman Coulter Calibrators require refrigeration and special handling. They are supplied as Factory New but are often short-dated, requiring strict adherence to cold chain logistics.

Be aware of the specific dating requirements for available variants:

  • The S-CAL Calibrator (1 x 4.2mL) configuration has a maximum dating of only 26 days.
  • The Ac-T 5diff Calibrator (2 x 2mL) configuration has a minimum expiry lead of 30 days.

Due to this limited shelf life, these reagents are best suited for immediate use in clinical diagnostic workflows.

Are these refrigerated calibrators short-dated?

Yes, these critical diagnostic reagents are classified as short-dated and require specialized handling and refrigeration due to their nature, which ensures maximum calibration accuracy.The specific dating requirements depend on the configuration you select:* S-CAL Calibrator (1 x 4.2mL): This refrigerated item has a maximum dating of 26 days upon delivery.* Ac-T 5diff Calibrator (2 x 2mL): This variant is guaranteed to have a minimum expiry lead time of 30 days upon shipment.Given their limited shelf life, these Factory New calibrators are ideal for clinical laboratories with high testing throughput or immediate needs.

What calibrator configurations are available?

The Beckman Coulter Calibrators are provided in Factory New condition, offering several specialized configurations for diagnostic equipment. Please note that due to the nature of these reagents, specific dating and handling requirements apply to several variants.

Here are the available calibrator configurations and their specific dating requirements:

Calibrator Type Volume/Packaging Dating & Handling Requirements
S-CAL Calibrator 1 x 4.2mL vial (with 6mL Diskette) Short-Dated, Refrigerated. Maximum dating upon receipt is 26 days.
S-CAL Calibrator 2 x 4.2mL vials (with Diskette) Standard dating (no explicit short-dated warning).
Ac-T 5diff Calibrator 2 x 2mL vials Short-Dated. Minimum expiry lead upon receipt is 30 days.
Do these calibrators require special handling?

Yes, these Beckman Coulter Calibrators are refrigerated diagnostic reagents that require specialized handling, primarily due to their potentially short-dated nature and cold chain requirements.

Key handling considerations include:

  • Refrigeration: These items must be refrigerated to maintain their integrity and effectiveness.
  • Short Dating: Specific variants are designed for prompt use:
    • The S-CAL Calibrator (1 x 4.2mL) configuration has a maximum shelf life (dating) of 26 days upon receipt.
    • The Ac-T 5diff Calibrator (2 x 2mL) configuration is guaranteed to have a ** minimum expiry lead of 30 days**.
Do these calibrators have limited shelf lives?

Yes, some configurations of these Factory New calibrators are highly time-sensitive, requiring immediate use and careful inventory management.Specific time constraints include:* S-CAL Calibrator (1 x 4.2mL): This is a refrigerated item with a maximum remaining shelf life (dating) of 26 days.* Ac-T 5diff Calibrator: This variant is short-dated, with a minimum expiry lead time of 30 days.It is crucial to consider these limited shelf lives when planning laboratory procedures.

How do these calibrators ensure instrument accuracy?

These Beckman Coulter Calibrators are essential reagents used for critical quality control and instrument calibration procedures in the laboratory.

They ensure superior instrument accuracy and reliability by:
