Frequently asked questions
Do these controls reliably calibrate HemoCue systems?
Yes, these specialized HemoCue America Hemocue Eurotrol Controls are designed to provide comprehensive quality assurance for HemoCue diagnostic analyzers.
They ensure accuracy across various assay ranges with specific control levels for different diagnostic needs:
- AlbuTrol: For U-Albumin testing, available in Low and High levels.
- HemoTrol / HemoLin: For Hgb (g/dL) analysis, offered in three distinct HemoTrol levels or comprehensive 5-level HemoLin kits.
- GlucoLin: For Glucose level measurements, available in 5-level kits.
How many vials are included?
The number of vials included varies by product type:
- AlbuTrol (Low and High levels) and HemoTrol (Level 1, 2, and 3) configurations each contain 2 vials per box (1.0 mL/vial).
- HemoLin (5 Levels) and GlucoLin (5 Levels) kits each contain 5 vials per box.
Does the cold-chain shipping ensure product integrity?
Yes, these are highly perishable biological solutions, and to ensure their analytical integrity, they are handled with strict cold-chain requirements: <ul><li>Temperature Control: Must be kept refrigerated (2-8°C) at all times.</li><li>Shipping Protocol: Every order is shipped on ice via a manufacturer drop-ship process to maintain the stability of the specialized formulations.</li></ul>
Are these vials easy to use for daily testing?
Yes, each control is provided in a convenient 1mL dropper vial, designed for seamless integration into your laboratory’s diagnostic workflow to ensure precise application.
Why is strict temperature control necessary for these vials?
These controls are highly sensitive chemical solutions. Maintaining a refrigerated storage temperature of 2-8°C is essential to preserve the integrity of the solution and guarantee the accuracy of your diagnostic results.
Can these controls help maintain clinical compliance standards?
Absolutely. By providing reliable verification of system performance, these controls allow medical professionals to maintain rigorous quality standards and documentation required for clinical compliance.
Are different calibration levels available for these controls?
Yes, these specialized HemoCue Eurotrol Controls are available in various levels to ensure comprehensive quality assurance across the full measurement range of your HemoCue testing system.
Specific configurations include:
- AlbuTrol (Albumin testing): Available in Low and High levels (packaged as 2 vials per box).
- HemoTrol (Hemoglobin testing): Available in three distinct concentrations: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 (packaged as 2 vials per box).
- Multi-Level Kits: For detailed calibration, kits such as GlucoLin and HemoLin are provided with 5 distinct levels (5 vials per box).
Do these controls require careful refrigerated storage?
Yes, these HemoCue Eurotrol Controls are perishable and highly temperature-sensitive. Strict refrigeration is mandatory to maintain their accuracy and integrity for quality control testing.
- Storage Requirements: They must be stored refrigerated, typically between 2 °C and 8 °C (for some variants).
- Shipping: These controls are shipped directly from the manufacturer and often require specialized cold chain handling (e.g., shipping on ice).
Due to their sensitive nature and classification as diagnostic reagents, all variants of these controls are designated as non-returnable.
Are these quality control solutions made in the USA?
Some variants of the HemoCue America Eurotrol Controls are manufactured in the USA.
Are these solutions engineered by HemoCue America?
Yes, these are authentic HemoCue America products, specifically engineered to integrate perfectly with your existing HemoCue testing platforms for maximum diagnostic reliability.
