Streck’s CVA, an assayed linearity control kit used to determine the patient reportable range of three- and five-part hematology instruments, is now assayed for Beckman Coulter’s UniCel DxH 800.
CVA establishes an instrument’s reportable range and verifies linearity, testing the instrument’s extreme upper and lower limits, ensuring that patient results are valid. Each kit has customized ranges for each instrument model and provides instrument-specific assay values for the white blood cell, platelet, red blood cell, and hemoglobin parameters. WBC and PLT parameters have extended ranges, providing values up to 410,000 and 3.5 million for instruments with extended linearities. CVA has an open-vial stability of five days and closed-vial stability of 120 days.
Streck’s Cal-Chex calibrator is now assayed for the DxH 800. Cal-Chex is assayed on analyzers calibrated with whole blood using standard reference methods, ensuring accurate and reliable calibration of hematology analyzers. Cal-Chex has an open-vial stability of five days and closed-vial stability of 45 days.
