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. ‘
