PTS PANELS® Multi-Chemistry Controls contain cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, and ketones. The analyte(s) in this solution react with test strips to produce a color. The darker the color is, the higher the analyte concentration. The result for each level of control should be in the range specified on the Quality Control Range Card included with the controls. Controls should be run to verify the test system performance, when results are questionable, or to comply with your facility’s quality control requirements.

PTS PANELS® HDL Cholesterol Controls contain cholesterol. The analyte(s) in each solution react with test strips to produce a color. The darker the color is, the higher the analyte concentration. The result for each level of control should be in the range specified on the Quality Control Range Card included with each set of controls. Controls should be run to verify the test system performance, when results are questionable, or to comply with your facility’s quality control requirements.

The A1CNow+ Controls™ are supplied in two levels as a frozen, ready-to-use material that requires no reconstitution. The control consists of human whole blood modified to target levels with reagent chemicals to produce the desired reaction when tested by the A1CNow system. Stabilizers and preservatives have been added to maintain shelf life and inhibit microbial growth.

ChekMate™ Strips are dry strips that mimic the use of the PTS Panels test strips to check the CardioChek analyzer system optics, calibration, and result handling algorithms.
