What The Users Say:
“We have been using 24.7 as our IQC management solution for some time now after changing over from a different provider. To begin with the change was met with resistance, and I have to admit that I was one of those people. Change always is challenging, and it took time to adapt to a newer and different system.
However, over time, and with Randox’s assistance, 24.7 has become part and parcel of everyday IQC monitoring and management. From the ease of use of configuring new instruments, assays, panels and lot numbers to the plethora of data that can be extracted to aid in optimal IQC management, 24.7 offers the flexibility to adapt to any user organisation.”

Customer Testimonials
Sixth People’s Hospital of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province
‘Our laboratory continues to use Randox’s IQC products, including HN1530, HE1532, IA3110, IA3111, CG5021, CG5023, UC5033, UC5034. Compared with the previous use of original quality control, we can now find the quality control deviation caused by the change of reagent batch number in time. Later, we can timely pass the calibration and the calibration to return the laboratory results to the correct level. Randox products have brought us more convenience in our work. We are very satisfied with Acusera series products.’
Patrick Else, Nuffield Health
‘Randox Acusera 24/7 has enabled me to effectively manage 13 separate hub sites effectively through the use of the integrated reports that can be generated. The system allows for routine day to day monitoring of IQC results as well as long term tracking and trending. The Uncertainty of Measurement report has allowed me to free up a large amount of time as this report can be generated whenever for a particular date range meaning no more manual number crunching. The support from Randox has been first class from the initial install through to current working practices and the company are very open to improvements to the system. On the whole I am very happy with the programme. ‘

Get your teeth into a Randox commutable control this Halloween
Get your teeth into a Randox commutable control this Halloween
It is that time of year again – when people dress up, children trick-or-treat and many a scary story is told in households around the world. An age-old tradition celebrated globally by millions of people – it can only be Halloween.
Last year Randox QC brought you the truly scary story about a laboratory who chose not to use a third party control, but eventually “treated their laboratory to a true third party control”. This year, we have another scary story for you about a lab manager in Transylvania, Dr. Acula.
It was a normal, busy day in the lab for Dr. Acula. That was until it was time to change reagent batch, after changing batch of reagent Dr. Acula was shocked to find his QC results had shifted by over 20%. This left Dr. Acula very frustrated, having to spend precious time troubleshooting and reassigning QC targets. After troubleshooting showed no apparent root cause, Dr. Acula searched the internet for an answer finally stumbling upon an educational guide from Randox Quality Control on commutability and its many benefits to the lab.
Grinning from ear-to-ear with excitement, Dr. Acula began to read the guide in the hope of finding a solution to his problem – and solutions he found. While reading the guide, Dr. Acula came across a quote from ISO 15189:2012. It read that laboratories “must use quality control materials that react to the examining system in a manner as close as possible to the patient sample”.
Dr. Acula made a decision to look for a commutable control material that met all of his requirements and he didn’t have to search very far. Randox Quality Control were able to supply Dr. Acula and his laboratory with a QC material to meet all his needs – true third party, excellent stability, consistency and consolidation but most importantly of all commutable controls. The fact all Randox immunoassay and immunology controls are manufactured from 100% human material appealed to Dr. Acula a lot. After trialing the Randox control material alongside patient samples and comparing results between reagent batches, Dr. Acula was thrilled with the results.
Labs rely heavily on quality control to detect errors in their test system and to ultimately make critical decisions regarding the accuracy and reliability of patient test results, the use of a control that reacts to the test system in the same manner as a patient sample is therefore essential.
At Randox Quality Control we take quality seriously. All our QC products are manufactured to the highest possible standard ensuring controls of unrivalled quality time and time again. Designed to be commutable, the Acusera range will ensure accurate and reliable instrument performance while simultaneously helping laboratories meet ISO 15189:2012 requirements.
Just ask Dr. Acula, who likes our 100% human controls so much he has started to drink them himself!
