LGC Maine Standards announces release of VALIDATE® Heparin linearity and calibration verification test kit for Stago STA® analyzers

LGC Maine Standards announces the release of VALIDATE® Heparin linearity and calibration verification kit. The VALIDATE® Heparin kit, in a human plasma matrix, evaluates Heparin Anti-Xa (HP). Each VALIDATE® Heparin kit, prepared using the CLSI EP06-A “equal delta” sample preparation, offers five distinct concentrations covering the 0.1 – 2.0 IU/mL reportable range of Stago STA® analyzers. Each kit is liquid and ready-to-use. Simply dispense the product from each dropper bottle, directly into five sample cups, and run in replicates.

Release of VALIDATE® Heparin for Stago STA® analyzers allows clinical laboratories to complete their required Heparin Anti-Xa linearity and calibration verification and maximize the reportable range while minimizing manual dilutions. Use of this product, while augmenting daily QC, assists with fulfilling various quality control requirements for linearity and calibration verification under CLIA, CAP, COLA, JCAHO, JCI and ISO 15189.

The addition of VALIDATE® Heparin for Stago STA® analyzers to the LGC Maine Standards expanding portfolio of products demonstrates a continued commitment to manufacture high-quality linearity and calibration verification products that meet industry needs.
