Applications and Uses
This product should be treated the same as patient specimens and run in accordance with the instructions accompanying the instrument, kit or reagent
Thawed/Unopened
If the product has been stored frozen, allow it to stand at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) for approximately one hour or until completely thawed. Gently swirl the contents until homogeneous with no visible signs of a precipitate. Any precipitate present after thawing should dissolve upon mixing. Store the thawed product at 2-8°C.
Thawed/Opened
If the product has been stored refrigerated, allow it to reach room temperature (18°C to 25°C) before use. Minimize the time at room temperature. Gently swirl the vial several times to ensure homogeneity. After each use, promptly replace the stopper and return to 2-8°C storage.
Aliquot-Frozen
To prepare aliquot samples, allow the control vial to thaw as described above. Gently swirl the vial several times to ensure homogeneity, then dispense the control material into aliquot vials and store at -20°C to -70°C. If sampling aliquot, use it only once. Discard the remaining material.
