BIOREF - Control Sera

BIOREF control sera consist of human serum where several different analytes are spiked in. These control sera are used for the internal quality control as well as for  the external quality control (ring trials) in medical diagnostic laboratories.

For the internal quality control the control sera are analyzed parallel to the patient sera in order to evaluate the accuracy and the precision of the analyses performed. For this purpose the results are compared with the list of target values of the respective control serum.

Characteristics of BIOREF control sera Find out more...

• High stability
  At 4°C most of the analytes of the liquid control sera are stable
  for at least 6 months.
• Patient-like composition
  The controls consist of 100 % human serum with analytes spiked
  in in native form where possible.
• Simple handling
  All controls are liquid. Reconstitution of a lyophilizate is not necessary.
• Economic handling
  Due to the liquid nature and the stability of the controls reconstitution and for most analytes even aliquotation is not necessary. The control material is used more efficiently.
• Lower error rate
  Due to the liquid nature the controls can be pipetted directly. Mistakes which might occur at reconstitution are avoided.
• Different concentration ranges
  BIOREF controls are offered with normal and pathological concentration ranges. Therefore it is possible to check the main clinical decision ranges.
• Broad analyte spectrum
  BIOREF offers control sera for the following analyte ranges:
  Tumor Markers
  Cardiac Markers
  Hormones & Drugs
  Plasma Proteins
• Suitable for control of accuracy
  For every control serum a list of target values is attached.
• All BIOREF control sera are labelled with the CE-mark
