Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What is the Cell-Chex Cell Body Fluid Control used for?
The Cell-Chex Cell Body Fluid Control is designed for hematology laboratories to evaluate cell morphology in cerebrospinal and body fluid specimens. It provides standardized reference levels for red blood cells (RBCs) and white blood cells (WBCs), helping ensure accurate performance assessment across clinically relevant diagnostic ranges. This aids in maintaining consistency and reliability in laboratory testing.
How is the Cell-Chex supplied, and what sizes are available?
The Cell-Chex is supplied as a liquid control in two formats: a single 2 mL vial or a set of four 2 mL vials. This allows laboratories to choose the quantity that best fits their workflow and testing volume. The liquid form ensures ease of use and precise dosing for quality control purposes.
Is the Cell-Chex single-use or reusable?
The Cell-Chex Cell Body Fluid Control is intended for single-use only. This design minimizes the risk of contamination and ensures consistent, reliable results for each test. Single-use controls are standard in hematology quality assurance to maintain accuracy and prevent cross-contamination between tests.
What storage conditions are required for the Cell-Chex?
The Cell-Chex does not require special storage conditions beyond standard refrigeration. This makes it convenient for laboratories to maintain without additional infrastructure. Always store the product in its original packaging and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to preserve its integrity until use.
Are there different levels of Cell-Chex available, and what do they represent?
Yes, the Cell-Chex is available in multiple levels, such as Level 1-UC and Level 2. These levels represent different standardized concentrations of cells (RBCs and WBCs) to simulate clinically relevant scenarios. Using multiple levels allows laboratories to assess instrument performance across a broader range of diagnostic values, improving overall quality control.
