Hematology Controls & Calibrators

Hematology Controls & Calibrators for Diagnostic Analyzers

 

 

These reference materials maintain optical accuracy, system linearity, and daily measurement reliability across 3-part and 5-part hematology analyzers.

 
 
Category Introduction

 

Hematology Controls & Calibrators are reference materials used to evaluate, adjust, and validate the analytical measurement performance of automated blood cell counters. Formulated from processed mammalian red blood cells, simulated white blood cell components, and stable platelet analogs, these matrix-matched suspensions match the physical flow characteristics of fresh human whole blood.
Hematology calibrators assign target baseline values to anchor instrument sizing channels and light-scatter detectors. Hematology controls evaluate daily system precision, monitor optical drift, and confirm fluidic consistency across Low, Normal, and High clinical decision ranges. Regular utilization maintains measurement accuracy and supports medical laboratories in fulfilling international quality compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

Q: What are the storage temperature requirements for these reference materials?

A: Vials must be stored between 2°C and 8°C. Exposure to freezing temperatures destroys the cell membrane structures and renders the target values invalid.

Q: How long are the materials stable once opened?

A: Open-vial stability remains valid for 14 to 21 days when handled under strict aseptic conditions and promptly returned to refrigerated storage after mixing.

Q: Why are three distinct control levels required for quality checks?

A: Tri-Level controls (Low, Normal, High) confirm that detection optics and impedance sensors measure accurately across both pathologically low and elevated patient cell concentrations.

Q: Can hematology controls be used to calibrate an instrument?

A: No. Controls monitor operational precision and detect drift. Calibrators feature defined traceable values designed strictly to reset internal calculation factors.

Q: How are lot-specific assay values supplied with orders?

A: Every production batch includes lot-specific assay sheets detailing target values and expected ranges for supported system configurations, provided in printed form and digital formats.
