Product news

Randox Laboratories is a world leading provider of innovative quality management solutions including third party controls, inter-laboratory data management and external quality assessment designed to help improve laboratory performance, quality and accuracy.

The Acusera range of internal quality controls is extensive covering over 350 parameters. The availability of multi-analyte controls allows laboratories to reduce the number of separate controls required thus facilitating effective consolidation. For example our immunoassay premium plus control covers 54 parameters in total including routine tumor markers, therapeutic drugs and Vitamin D in addition to clinically relevant concentrations of Ferritin, TSH and Vitamin B12.

As true third party controls they can be used alongside any manufacturer’s reagent or instrument to provide an independent, unbiased assessment of analytical performance. Our unique value assignment process employs over 23,000 independent laboratories making Randox the only true supplier of third party controls and ensures accurate and reliable target values are available for most methods and instruments.

Acusera 24.7 Live Online is a new web based inter-laboratory data management system designed specifically to complement the Acusera range of controls. The programme provides access to peer group data generated from thousands of independent laboratories and aims to improve the effectiveness of quality control processes within the clinical laboratory whilst also helping to interpret QC results.

In addition to internal quality control Randox can also offer RIQAS (Randox International Quality Assessment Scheme) the largest international EQA scheme in the world with over 23,000 participants in more than 105 countries.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications. Find the best microplates for your lab in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types.  Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Clinical GeneticsMolecular Genetics covers the analysis of hereditary genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities. Genetics can be analysed using DNA, RNA, and protein microarrays, PCR, RT PCR and DNA sequencing. Genetic equipment includes genetic workstations, thermal cyclers, cooling blocks and electrophoresis products. Diagnostic kits are used for DNA / RNA extraction and purification.Quality ControlQuality control is needed in all production processes. Quality control is a monitoring procedure or set of procedures that are put in place to ensure that a manufactured product adheres to a defined set of quality criteria. TumorsTumor research focuses on understanding abnormal cell growth that leads to cancer. Identifying biomarkers, studying tumor microenvironments, and developing targeted therapies are critical for advancing cancer treatment. Early detection and personalized treatment options are key to improving outcomes for patients.
