Instructions

These Chromsystems plasma controls are designed to monitor the accuracy and precision of analytical procedures for the quantitative determination of Homocysteine in serum/plasma. The lyophilised controls are based on human plasma and should be used routinely according to the instructions of the assay procedure being used. While following these instructions the control is to be handled in the same manner as a patient specimen.

Reconstitution

Remove the metal seal and rubber stopper from the vial. Add exactly 2.0 ml of double distilled water (possibly HPLC-grade) into the vial. Replace the stopper and allow to sit for 10 to 15 min. Swirl the vial to dissolve the contents until homogeneity.

Storage conditions

Stored below -18 °C unopened controls are stable until the expiry date which is stated on the vial labels. The reconstituted control can be stored up to 3 days tightly capped at +2 to +8 °C. If the controls cannot be analysed within this period, they should be aliquoted and stored frozen below -18 °C (up to 1 month).
