August 2023—A multilevel set of liquid-stable clinical reference materials for use with ammonia and iron testing are available from Verichem Laboratories. The five-level standard kit, along with an optional, standalone ultra-high sixth level, is designed for the calibration verification of ammonia and iron assays on a range of automated clinical systems, including from Abbott Diagnostics, Beckman Coulter, Roche Diagnostics, and Siemens Healthineers. The materials are treated as patient specimens and free of glycols, surfactants, azides, and other interfering substances. Iron concentration levels of 10–1,000 μg/dL are verified using standard reference materials from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and ammonia concentrations of 10–2000 μg/dL are verified using reagent-grade standards from the American Chemical Society. Shelf life is 24 months.
