ASSAYED BOVINE MULTI-SERA - LEVEL 2
(BOV ASY CONTROL 2)
CAT. NO. AN1026 LOT NO. 500SN
SIZE: 20 x 5 ml EXPIRY: 2026-09-28
GTIN: 05055273200294
INTENDED USE
This product is intended for in vitro diagnostic use, in the quality control of diagnostic assays. The Assayed Bovine Multi-sera is for the control of
accuracy.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Assayed Bovine Multi-sera is supplied at 3 levels, level 1, 2 and 3. Target values and ranges are supplied for the analytes listed in the value section at
3 levels.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
For in vitro diagnostic use only. Do not pipette by mouth. Exercise the normal precautions required for handling laboratory reagents.
Assayed Bovine Multi-sera is manufactured from bovine sera. Human source material, which has been added, has been tested at donor level for the
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV 1, HIV 2) antibody, Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HbsAg), and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) antibody and found to be
NON-REACTIVE. FDA approved methods have been used to conduct these tests.
However, since no method can offer complete assurance as to the absence of infectious agents, this material and all patient samples should be handled
as though capable of transmitting infectious diseases and disposed of accordingly.
Health and Safety Data Sheets are available on request.
STORAGE AND STABILITY
OPENED: Store refrigerated (+2ºC to +8ºC). Reconstituted serum is stable for 8 hours at +15ºC to +25ºC or 7 days at +2ºC to +8ºC, and
28 days when frozen once at –20ºC (see Limitations).
UNOPENED: Store refrigerated (+2ºC to +8ºC). Stable to expiration date printed on individual vials.
LIMITATIONS
For Total and Prostatic Acid Phosphatase, the material should be stabilised by adding 1 drop (25 - 30 µl) of 0.7M Acetic acid solution to 1 ml of the
serum. After stabilisation Total & Prostatic Acid Phosphatase is stable for 2 hours at +15ºC to +25ºC, 2 days at +2ºC to +8ºC, and 28 days when
frozen once at –20ºC.
Alkaline Phosphatase levels in the reconstituted serum will rise over the stability period. It is recommended that the reconstituted serum is allowed to
stand for 1 hour at +15ºC to +25ºC before measurement.
Bilirubin in the serum is light sensitive and it is recommended that the serum is stored in the dark. Stored in the dark, Bilirubin is stable for 2 days at
+2ºC to +8ºC. Do not store at +15ºC to +25ºC. Do not freeze.
GLDH is stable for 1 day at +2ºC to +8ºC.
NEFA levels may be above the assay range for some manufacturer’s reagents and will therefore require dilution before testing.
PSA is stable for 4 days at +2ºC to +8ºC, or 28 days in aliquots frozen at –20ºC.
PSA Total is stable for 3 days at +2°C to +8°C.
Bacterial contamination of the reconstituted serum will cause reductions in the stability of many components.
Different lot numbers of this control should not be interchanged, as the values assigned to the controls vary from lot to lot.
The control should not be used as a calibration material.
Due to the zinc content in some batches of rubber stoppers, the QC material should be aliquoted into polypropylene tubes and stored at +2°C to
+8°C to ensure stable zinc levels throughout the stability period.
PREPARATION FOR USE
The Assayed Bovine Multi-sera is supplied lyophilised.
1. Carefully reconstitute each vial of lyophilised serum with exactly 5 ml of distilled water at +15ºC to +25ºC. Close the bottle and allow to stand for
30 minutes before use. Ensure contents are completely dissolved by swirling gently. Avoid formation of foam. Do not shake.
2. Refer to the Control section of the individual analyser application.
3. Refrigerate any unused material. Prior to reuse, mix contents thoroughly.
MATERIALS PROVIDED
Assayed Bovine Multi-sera - Level 2 20 x 5 ml
MATERIALS REQUIRED BUT NOT PROVIDED
Volumetric pipette
ASSIGNED VALUES
Due to the variation caused by test equipment, test reagents and laboratory technique, the quoted ranges are provided for guidance. It is recommended
that these ranges are used until each laboratory has established its own ranges, based on individual laboratory requirements.
Each lot of serum is submitted to a number of external laboratories. Values are assigned from a consensus of results obtained by these laboratories and
internal testing conducted at Randox Laboratories Ltd. With each batch, a control range is provided for individual parameters and each parameter
method. The control range is equivalent to the assigned mean ±2 S.D.
