AutoPure Glucose Hexokinase 200

Quality Control

Each batch of Autopure Glucose (Hexokinase) is assayed
with at least six control sera – Precinorm**, Precipath**,
Biorad I***, Biorad II***, Accutrol normal and Accutrol
Abnormal prior to release▲.
To ensure adequate quality control, it is recommended that
the laboratory should use a normal and an abnormal
commercial reference control material. It should be realized
that the use of quality control material checks both reagent
and instrument functions together.
If the control values fall outside the specified limits, each of
the below criteria should be cross-checked and corrected:
• Proper instrument function – wavelength setting, light
source and temperature control
• Cleanliness of probes and cuvettes.
• Bacterial contamination of wash water used by the instrument
• Expiry date of the reagent kit **Brand name of Roche Diagnostics, Germany; ***Brand name of Biorad, USA; ▲subject to availability of control serum.
