UK-based Randox has launched a BNP control designed for use in the routine monitoring of accuracy and precision. Assayed instrument-specific target values and ranges are provided for a range of instruments including Beckman Access, Abbott Architect, and Siemens Advia Centaur.
The third party control offers unbiased assessment of performance, as Randox uses more than 23,000 totally independent laboratories to assign targets and ranges.
The BNP control comes as a 100% human serum, manufactured to high quality standards. The control comes in a convenient, liquid, ready-to-use format in 1 ml vials, convenient for point of care testing. The 30-day open vial stability, along with the vial size, helps to reduce wastage.
Randox suggests that, for optimum performance and advanced analytical capabilities, the new control should be used in combination with Acusera 24.7 Live Online, an inter-laboratory data management program designed to monitor analytical performance, interpret QC results, and improve the effectiveness of quality control. Acusera 24.7 users benefit from online access at any time, peer group data generated from thousands of laboratories every 24 hours, fully interactive charts, and reports and automatic import of QC data direct from a LIMS or instrument via Acusera 24.7 Connect.
