QBC CONTROLS NOW AVAILABLE!

Manufactured by R&D Systems, the QBC Controls have been designed exclusively for use with the QBC Centrifugal Haematology Systems including the QBC Autoread Plus and QBC STAR.

Quality Control is essential and should form an integral part of laboratory operations as part of a Quality Assurance (QA) program. QC assesses clinical laboratory quality and performance.  The overall performance of QBC tubes, analyser, centrifuge, sample preparation and processing techniques are monitored using the new QBC Controls.

The QBC Controls contain stabilised mammalian red cells, white cells and simulated platelets in plasma-like fluid. They enable 7 parameters to be monitored - Haemoglobin (HB), Haematocrit (Hct), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), White Blood Cell Count (WBC), Granulocytes (GRAN), Lymphocyte/Monocyte Count (LY/MO), Platelet Count (PLT).

Simple and easy to use, the NEW QBC Controls are used in exactly the same way as a real sample meaning there is no need for any specialist procedures.

R&D Systems offers a comprehensive inter-laboratory Quality Control Program (CBC-Monitor) which provides on-line peer-reviewed statistical data comparisons for the user every month.
