A lyophilized, third party, human whole blood based control offers five individual levels and includes Cyclosporine, Tacrolimus, and Sirolimus.
The control can be used with immunoassay or chromatographic techniques. Called the Lyphochek Whole Blood Immunosuppressant Control, it was designed for use as an assayed quality control material to monitor the precision of immunosuppressant drug test procedures in the clinical laboratory from low to very high concentrations. Immunosuppressant drugs are typically used in transplant therapy to help minimize organ rejection. Lyphochek Control is supplied as a whole blood based material that can be processed in the same manner as patient samples.
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (Hercules, CA, USA), a manufacturer and distributor of life science clinical diagnostics and research products, released the Lyphochek Whole Blood Immunosuppressant Control.
The company offers technical support and troubleshooting assistance for the control. The Unity Interlaboratory Program and the Unity Real Time, a data management-software solution designed to improve the effectiveness of quality control processes, are available for use with the Lyphochek Control.
