Liquichek Tumor Marker Control is an assayed, liquid, human-based control designed to monitor the precision of tumor marker testing procedures at clinically relevant levels. This multi-analyte quality control includes very low levels of Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) for high-sensitivity test methods and very high levels of cancer antigens and Ferritin. This control is available in two configurations, a standard vial and a compact vial with barcode. The compact vial is compatible with applicable automated platforms such as Siemens Dimension Vista and Abbott Alinity, while the 2D barcode allows for quick and easy QC setup.

Liquichek Tumor Marker Control offers a comprehensive menu of cancer antigen and tumor marker analytes designed to cover a variety of cancer-related disease states, and it can be used on most major testing platforms for cancer screening. The control is available in three levels. Multiple levels allow monitoring of test system reliability.

Applications & Use

This product should be treated the same as patient specimens and used in accordance with the instructions accompanying the instrument, kit or reagent.

Using a volumetric pipette or equivalent, reconstitute each vial with 2.0 mL of distilled or deionized water. Replace the stopper and allow this product to stand for approximately 15 minutes, swirling occasionally. Gently swirl the vial several times to ensure homogeneity. After each use, promptly replace the stopper and return to 2-8°C storage.

If the reconstituted product has been stored refrigerated, allow it to reach room temperature (18°C to 25°C) before use. Before sampling, gently swirl the vial several times. If the reconstituted product has been stored frozen, allow it to reach room temperature (18°C to 25°C) before use. Before sampling, gently swirl the vial several times to ensure homogeneity.

Frequently Asked Questions

After use, how long can the control product be left out before return to refrigerator?
Typically, if the product has been stored refrigerated, allow the product to reach room temperature (18°C to 25°C) before use (specific time limitations may apply, depending on the product). For optimal analyte stability, promptly return the product to the recommended storage temperature after each use.
How long should frozen liquid controls sit at room temperature in order to thaw?
Typically, the frozen product should be allowed to thaw at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) for the time indicated in the product insert (IFU) or until completely thawed prior to use. The product vial should be swirled gently to ensure homogeneity prior to use. Refer to the procedure section of the product insert (IFU) for product-specific handling instruction.
What are the acceptable limits for room, refrigerator, and freezer temperature?
This information is stated in the product insert (IFU):
  • Room temperature: 18°C to 25°C
  • Refrigerator temperature: 2-8°C
  • Freezer temperature: -20°C to -70°C/-20°C to -50°C for 2.5 mL vial

Most frozen products recommend avoidance of frost-free freezers. There are exceptions, so refer to specific control insert.
