Introduction

 

All immunohaematology laboratories must demonstrate the work they are carrying out is performed to a high standard and that results are accurate.
There are many variables that can affect the outcome of antiglobulin tests and consequently adequate control is a fundamental consideration. These products have been developed for use as sensitivity controls to confirm that that the technique, as performed, is capable of detecting weak IgG antibodies.

The ALBAcheck^® -BGS Sensitivity Controls are validated for use in column agglutination systems. If laboratories are using other techniques they should validate the ALBAcheck®_BGS Sensitivity Controls on that method before use.

ALBAcheck^®-BGS Sensitivity Controls have 12 months shelf life.
