June 2022—Verichem Laboratories announced the availability of a multilevel set of liquid-stable, ready-to-use clinical reference materials for the calibration and calibration verification of ammonia assays. The materials are universally compatible and can be used with a range of clinical testing systems, including from Abbott Diagnostics, Beckman Coulter, Roche Diagnostics, and Siemens Healthineers.
The materials are designed for assays employing either enzymatic or colorimetric test methods. The five-level standard kit, with an optional and standalone sixth level, features ammonia concentrations ranging from 10 mcg/dL to 2,000 mcg/dL. The reference materials are free of glycols, surfactants, azides, and other interfering substances and are stable for 24 months when stored at 2° to 8°C.
