Laboratory Quality Control – Acusera
Acusera true third party quality controls offer complete test menu consolidation for laboratory Internal Quality Control.
Providing accurate and reliable sample material and delivering results you can trust.
Key Benefits of Acusera
Commutability
A commutable sample matrix increases confidence that performance mimics that of patient samples.
Flexibility
With an extensive range of assayed/unassayed, liquid/lyophilised and single/multi-analyte controls, the Acusera portfolio has a solution to suit all laboratory preferences.
Traceability
The values assigned to both our calibrators and control materials are traceable to a recognised reference material or reference measurement procedure meeting ISO 17511 and ISO 18153 requirements.
Accurate Target Values
Our process utilises thousands of independent labs globally, ensuring availability of highly accurate, robust target values for a wide range of instruments and methods, ultimately eliminating the need to spend time and money assigning in-house.
True Third Party Controls
Manufactured independently, the Acusera range delivers unbiased performance assessment with any instrument or method, helping to meet ISO 15189:2012 requirements whilst eliminating the need for multiple instrument dedicated controls.
Consolidation
Specialising in consolidation, the Acusera range of multi-analyte controls is designed to reduce the number of individual controls required to cover your test menu, ultimately reducing costs, preparation time and storage space.
Consistency
Our superior manufacturing processes ensure stability claims and analyte levels won’t differ significantly from lot-to-lot. You can therefore be sure of receiving the same standard of product time and time again.
Shelf Life Longevity
With a shelf life of up to four years for lyophilised controls and two years for liquid controls, you can benefit from continuity of lot supply whilst reducing the frequency of new lot validation studies, thus saving time and money.
Clinically Relevant Levels
The presence of analytes at key decision levels not only helps to ensure accurate instrument performance but maximises laboratory efficiency by eliminating the need for additional low/high level controls at extra expense.
Acusera Internal Quality Control Range
With over 390 parameters, choice and flexibility is guaranteed.
