Lyphochek Diabetes Control is a lyophilized, human whole blood-based control that is used to monitor the clinical assay precision of hemoglobin fractions associated with diabetes, including Hemoglobins A1, A1C, F, Total Glycated Hemoglobin and Total Hemoglobin. The product is provided in lyophilized form for ease of storage and increased stability.
The control is available in two significant levels. Multiple levels allow for monitoring of test system reliability. The independent Lyphochek Diabetes Control monitors HbA1c and Total Hemoglobin test procedures, and it has value assignment listings for over 30 methods, including HPLC, immunoassay and point-of-care methodologies.

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 0.5 mL of distilled or deionized water. Replace the stopper and allow this product to stand for approximately 5 to 10 minutes, and swirl occasionally. Before sampling, gently swirl the vial several times to ensure homogeneity.
The reconstituted control exhibits column elution profiles and temperature sensitivities comparable to those of patient whole blood samples. Hemoglobin A1C results for the control must be corrected for temperature as recommended by the reagent manufacturer to achieve the assigned values.
