Controls and Linearity Sets

Controls and Linearity materials are used by the laboratorians and IVD manufacturers to monitor the integrity of patient data and verify performance of diagnostic reagents and products. Use of unbiased, independent controls offer a valuable tool to support those involved in improving patient care.

BioCore's controls and linearity sets are formulated from human derived material - Whole blood, plasma, serum and urine. High grade chemicals, drugs and metabolites are added to the human based matrices to achieve targeted analyte concentrations. Products are designed to be used with a variety of manual and automated analytical test methods. Our products are formulated to emulate and perform similarly to patient samples. Analyte concentrations are typically targeted to cover both normal and the pathological range.
