April 2017—LGC Maine Standards added rheumatoid factor to its Validate SP2 calibration verification/linearity test kit. Validate SP2 evaluates albumin, C-reactive protein, haptoglobin, prealbumin, and rheumatoid factor in a human serum base. Each kit is prepared using the CLSI-recommended “equal delta” method for linearity testing and is liquid, ready to use.
With the addition of rheumatoid factor, the kit will allow clinical laboratories to complete their required serum protein calibration verification/linearity testing and maximize the reportable range while minimizing manual dilutions.
