December 2014—Streck’s A1c-Cellular Linearity, an HbA1c linearity/calibration verification material with intact red blood cells, is now assayed for the Trinity Biotech Premier Hb9210 and Ultra2 instruments. A1c-Cellular Linearity is a five-level assayed linearity material used to assess instrument accuracy and verify the patient reportable range of the HbA1c parameter.
A1c-Cellular Linearity’s formulation does not require reconstitution and tests the entire reportable range of the instrument system, including the lyse step. Instrument-specific target values and expected ranges are provided for immediate instrument accuracy verification.
Now assayed for the Beckman Coulter UniCel DxH 600 is Streck’s Retic-Chex Linearity, an assayed linearity control kit used to verify the accuracy and linear reportable range of the reticulocyte parameter. Retic-Chex Linearity tests the extreme upper and lower limits of an instrument’s reticulocyte parameter, ensuring that results are valid. The linearity is available in five-vial sets with five-day open-vial stability, which allows it to be rerun if an instrument problem is detected.
