LGC Maine Standards announces VALIDATE® VIT D kit for easier linearity and calibration verification on Abbott ARCHITECT analyzers

LGC Maine Standards announces the release of VALIDATE® VIT D linearity and calibration verification kit for Abbott ARCHITECT analyzers.

The VALIDATE VIT D kit, in a human serum matrix, evaluates Vitamin D. Each VALIDATE VIT D kit, prepared using the CLSI EP06-A “equal delta” sample preparation, offers six distinct concentrations covering the reportable range of Abbott ARCHITECT analyzers. Each kit is liquid and ready-to-use. Simply dispense the product from each dropper bottle, directly into six sample cups, and run in replicates.

Release of VALIDATE VIT D for Abbott ARCHITECT analyzers allows clinical laboratories to easily and efficiently complete their required Vitamin D 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 VIT D for Abbott ARCHITECT 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.
