Detect Pre-Analytical Interferences

Bio-Rad's products for Serum Indices are intended for use as part of laboratory practice to monitor the instrument response to detect hemolyzed, icteric, or lipemic samples. Hemolysis, icterus, and lipemia (HIL) are the most commonly tested interferences that may affect the integrity of patient samples in the clinical laboratory. Most major chemistry test platforms include an automated HIL detection feature while some QC lab personnel visually inspect samples.

Similar to patient samples

Our products for Serum Indices are prepared from human sourced material and monitor the instrument response to HIL interferences adding confidence to instrument performance.

Reduce human errors

Clinical testing labs can reduce human errors by eliminating visual HIL assessment. Monitoring instrument response in HIL detection with Bio-Rad's products for Serum Indices help reduce hands-on time and improve the reliability of patient test results.

Identify potential drifts and failures

Clinical labs can compare their instrument responses with Bio-Rad's Unity peer group. Worldwide peer group comparisons may offer early awareness of test result shifts and trends, helping to avoid costly test repeats and unnecessary troubleshooting.

Why you should consider commercial serum indices products in your lab

A study published by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine evaluated Bio-Rad’s Liquichek Serum Indices and identified several advantages of using commercial serum indices products to monitor specimen integrity on automated platforms.

Liquichek Serum Indices is a product that monitors pre-analytical instrument detection of HIL specimen interferences. It is not intended for use in diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.
