Hemocue America Hemocue R&D Controls

Yes, these HemoCue R&D Controls are specifically configured to include all three necessary levels for robust quality assurance: Low, Normal, and High concentrations.

This provides flexibility for comprehensive testing and calibration across two distinct control lines:

• Glu/Hgb Dual Control: Available in Low, Normal, and High levels (1.5 mL/vial). They can be purchased in boxes of three or six vials, or as a 3-vial Starter Kit (one vial of each level).
• WBC Control: Available as a set containing one vial each of Low, Normal, and High concentrations (2 mL/vial per vial, 3 vials total per box).

Important Considerations:
These specialized diagnostic reagents are perishable and must be kept refrigerated. Due to their nature as specialized lab consumables, they are also non-returnable and non-refundable.

Yes, these specialized R&D controls are highly perishable reagents and require specific handling to maintain their diagnostic integrity and precision.

• Mandatory Refrigeration: All configurations, including the Glucose/Hemoglobin (Glu/Hgb) and White Blood Cell (WBC) controls, must be refrigerated immediately upon receipt.
• Critical Requirement: Proper refrigeration is essential as these are specialized laboratory consumables that are strictly non-returnable and non-refundable. Ensuring the correct storage temperature is vital for the accuracy and reliability of the quality control solutions.

The estimated lead time for HemoCue R&D Controls is typically 1 to 2 weeks.

Since these are specialized, perishable laboratory controls, there are a few important fulfillment details to note:

• Shipping: These items are drop-shipped directly from the manufacturer, HemoCue America, ensuring the most direct supply chain for time-sensitive reagents.
• Manufacturing Schedule: Controls are manufactured and shipped on a quarterly schedule. Customers should be aware that this schedule may result in the product being short-dated upon arrival.
• Storage: The controls are perishable and must be refrigerated immediately upon receipt to maintain their integrity and ensure accurate diagnostic results.

These specialized diagnostic controls are susceptible to ‘short dating’ due to their specific logistics:

• They are perishable reagents that must be refrigerated.
• HemoCue manufactures and ships these R&D controls per quarter.

This quarterly manufacturing schedule means the product is not continuously produced, potentially resulting in a shorter remaining shelf life when the product is delivered.

These specialized diagnostic controls are manufactured by HemoCue America.

The WBC Control kit is designed for comprehensive quality control, providing standards for low, normal, and high concentrations.

Each box contains a total of three vials, with each vial holding 2 mL of control material:

• 1 x Low Concentration Vial (2 mL)
• 1 x Normal Concentration Vial (2 mL)
• 1 x High Concentration Vial (2 mL)

Crucial Note: As these R&D controls are perishable specialized reagents, they must be refrigerated immediately upon receipt to ensure their integrity and accuracy for testing.

The White Blood Cell (WBC) R&D Controls are supplied as a comprehensive quality control set to cover the full range of testing requirements:

• Control Levels: The set includes one vial each of Low, Normal, and High concentrations.
• Packaging: A total of 3 vials (one of each level) are contained per box.
• Reagent Volume: Each individual vial provides 2 mL of the control solution.

Important Note: These specialized reagents are perishable and must be refrigerated. Due to their nature as specialized laboratory consumables, they are also non-returnable and non-refundable.

These HemoCue R&D Controls are specialized diagnostic reagents essential for Quality Assurance (QA) and validating the performance of HemoCue testing systems in laboratory settings. Their purpose is to ensure high diagnostic precision across the full analytical range by providing certified control levels (Low, Normal, and High).

The controls are configured to verify specific analytes:

• Glu/Hgb Dual Controls: Used to validate measurements for Glucose (Glu) and Hemoglobin (Hgb) simultaneously.
• WBC Control Sets: Dedicated controls for verifying the accuracy of White Blood Cell (WBC) counts.

Note that these items are Factory New, must be refrigerated as they are perishable, and ship directly from the manufacturer.

Yes, these HemoCue R&D Controls offer comprehensive diagnostic precision across all critical ranges necessary for quality assurance and R&D calibration.

The controls are certified at three specific concentration levels to ensure complete coverage for monitoring and calibration:

• Low Level
• Normal Level
• High Level

These levels are available for both the Glucose/Hemoglobin (Glu/Hgb) Dual Control and the WBC Control sets. For Glu/Hgb testing, a convenient Dual Control Starter Kit is also available, which includes one vial of each level (Low, Normal, High) for initial setup or verification.

Yes, these Hemocue R&D Controls are specialized diagnostic reagents designed specifically for laboratory calibration and quality assurance processes within research and development settings. They ensure diagnostic precision.

Key features include:

• Certified Control Levels: They offer Low, Normal, and High certified control levels.
• Analytes Covered: Configurations are available for calibrating measurements of Glucose (Glu), Hemoglobin (Hgb), and White Blood Cells (WBC).
