PROVIDENCE, RI — Verichem Laboratories is pleased to offer a ready-to-use, liquid stable, standard reference kit for urine chemistry assays. Intended for either the calibration, or calibration verification, of urine chemistry assays on a wide variety of “wet” clinical testing systems, the materials are expressly designed to support overall system QC and CLIA compliance within the clinical laboratory. The availability of the kit is certain to address the needs of a wide variety of clinical laboratory professionals, including those performing routine diagnostic testing, but also those involved in clinical research and in the development and manufacturing of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) products.
Verichem Laboratories' urine chemistry standards incorporate a unique bio-synthetic matrix that allows for urine-like reactivity, as the materials are expressly designed to be treated as patient specimens. The innovative matrix formulation and set point design are vital for the determination of testing method accuracy, sensitivity, linearity, and reportable range. Each of the five standard concentration levels included within the kit are confirmed using available Standard Reference Materials from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This five-level set of definitive standard reference materials contain eight separate components, covering a total of 40 individual set points, and includes the analytes calcium, chloride, creatinine, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and urea nitrogen.
Plus, all products display exceptional lot-to-lot consistencies, while being free of surfactants, azide, glycols, and other interfering constituents. Materials contained within the kit are conveniently packaged and contain a total of 15 milliliters at each level, along with a certificate of analysis indicating accuracy traceability and actual test data. The materials are filled in easy-to-use, translucent polyethylene dropper vials and offer an exceptional shelf-life stability claim of 17 months from date of manufacture when stored refrigerated at temperatures of 2° to 8°C.
Verichem Laboratories serves the clinical laboratory testing and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) manufacturing markets with a comprehensive line of calibration verification products, chemistry standards, reference materials, and support services, including free, instant online data reduction reports for CLIA compliance.
