July 2021—Verichem Laboratories announced the availability of ready-to-use, liquid-stable clinical reference materials for the calibration and calibration verification of clinical testing systems.
The materials are manufactured employing a proprietary stabilization process that uses purified source components, without azides, glycols, or surfactants, and their protein balance, pH, and viscosity are kept constant across concentration levels. The reference materials are intended to be treated as patient specimens, have universal compatibility with wet chemistry testing systems, and meet CLIA, CAP, and CLSI recommendations for verification materials with known values.
Verichem has also expanded the test reporting options that it offers with its Calibration Verification Data Reduction Program. The first new report option includes accuracy and linearity based on pass/fail, as opposed to a letter grade, and the second option reports only pass/fail assay linearity, with no claims of independent accuracy. The original module, which provides graded results for both accuracy and linearity, will remain available, and all other original test report sections, including peer comparison, will remain the same; the analytical claims section will be tailored based on the report selected.
