LGC Maine Standards announces VALIDATE® PTH kit for Roche cobas® with Parathyroid Hormone for easy, fast, and reliable documentation of linearity, calibration verification, and Analytical Measurement Range (AMR) verification.
CUMBERLAND FORESIDE, Maine, Dec. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- LGC Maine Standards¹ announces the release of VALIDATE® PTH to meet the linearity and calibration verification needs of clinical laboratories running the Roche cobas® platform. The product (Order No. 303RO), which includes the analyte, Parathyroid Hormone, is formulated in a human serum matrix, using the CLSI EP06-A "equal delta" sample preparation method, and provides five distinct concentrations across the claimed range of the Roche cobas® instrument. VALIDATE® PTH test kits are liquid and ready-to-use: simply dispense the solution from each dropper bottle, directly into five sample cups, and run in replicates to verify the assay's reportable range.
When combined with Calcium, Magnesium, and Phosphorus in VALIDATE® GC1 (Order No. 1100RO) and Vitamin D in VALIDATE® VIT D (Order No. 506), laboratories can challenge the reportable range of Roche cobas® bone-related assays.
VALIDATE® products allow clinical laboratories to complete their required linearity and calibration verification, maximizing the reportable range while minimizing manual dilutions. Use of this product, while augmenting daily QC, assists with fulfilling various quality control requirements – such as Analytical Measurement Range (AMR) and Reportable Range – for linearity and calibration verification under CLIA '88, CAP, COLA, JCAHO, JCI, and ISO 15189.
The addition of VALIDATE® PTH to LGC Maine Standards' expanding portfolio of products demonstrates a continued commitment to manufacture high-quality linearity and calibration verification products that meet industry needs.
LGC Maine Standards is located in Cumberland Foreside, Maine and manufactures VALIDATE® linearity and calibration verification kits for over 140 analytes, including General Chemistries, ACTH, Anemia, Bone, Body Fluids, Cardiac, Fertility, Hemostasis, Osmolality, POC, Sepsis, Serum Proteins, Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, Thyroid, Tumor Markers, and Urine Chemistry.
LGC Maine Standards MSDRx® data reduction software is available at no charge for real-time data analysis, or a laboratory can send their data to LGC Maine Standards where a technical specialist will complete the data analysis and return a report within five business days. Peer group comparison is also available upon request.
