Immunoassay Controls

Thermo Fisher Scientific

The Thermo Scientific MAS Liquimmune controls are designed to monitor immunoassay test procedures on automated instruments, and the analytes covered include those routinely measured for fertility, thyroid, iron deficiency, endocrine, and allergy testing. This clinical chemistry quality control (QC) material has a 5-year shelf life. Regulatory QC demands typically require time-consuming crossover studies of QC materials when a new lot of control is used. By using a control with a longer shelf life, the inconvenience of changing to a new lot due to expiration is significantly reduced. The MAS Liquimmune controls are part of Thermo Fisher's broad portfolio of clinical chemistry controls. The controls work in conjunction with Thermo Scientific MAS LabLink xL quality assurance software, which is designed to fulfill various regulatory requirements for QC tracking, and includes peer data review and troubleshooting capabilities. The Liquimmune Controls are available for Levels 1 and 2 (assayed); and in Vista Vials (assayed) for Levels 1, 2, and 3.
