LIQUID STABLE, NIST TRACEABLE, MATRIX PLUS™ CHEMISTRY REFERENCE KIT AVAILABLE FROM VERICHEM LABORATORIES

The liquid stable, ready-to-use MATRIX PLUS Chemistry Reference Kit is now available from VERICHEM LABORATORIES.  Intended for the calibration, or calibration verification, of wet chemistry assays on clinical testing systems, the kit is designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of clinical laboratory professionals, as the materials are expressly designed to support overall system QC and CLIA compliance. This product is a valuable tool in determining a clinical system’s bias to the true, or known, value.  By maintaining a constant protein content and neutral pH across concentration levels, the unique formulation and CLSI EP06-A set point design of these reference materials are crucial for the independent determination of test method accuracy, sensitivity, linearity and reportable range.

 

In conjunction with the optional sixth Level F, this set of definitive method reference material contains seven (7) routine chemistry components, covering forty-two (42) individual concentrations. Analytes include Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Calcium, Creatinine, Glucose, Magnesium, Phosphorus, and Triglyceride. The materials are intended to be treated as patient specimens with wet clinical testing systems and suitable for a wide variety of testing methods, including visible spectrum, ultraviolet, kinetic, and/or endpoint.

 

Verichem LABORATORIES’ MATRIX PLUS Chemistry Reference Kit is packaged in ready-to-use, liquid stable format, incorporating a buffered protein based matrix for serum-like reactivity.  Formulation features undetectable lot-to-lot variation, and is free of glycols, surfactants, azide and other interfering substances. Each active component is verified using available Standard Reference Materials from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and documented with a Certificate of Analysis. In addition, Verichem LABORATORIES’MATRIX PLUS Chemistry Reference Kit offers exceptional open-vial product stability claims of twenty-one (21) months.

 

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.
