Dip&Spin Urinalysis Dipstick & Microscopics Control

The Dip&Spin Urinalysis Dipstick & Microscopics Control is the most complete urinalysis control now with rod-shaped E. coli, the most commonly found bacteria in affected patient samples. The controls are engineered with Calcium Oxalate Dihydrate (COD) crystals that are easily recognized by both standard and automated microscopy methodologies. Formulated with real human RBCs and WBCs, Dip&Spin makes for an excellent urinalysis dipstick and sediment combination quality control for the clinical lab.

Compatible with most urine strip brands, manual microscopy methods, confirmatory tests, and automated analyzers such as: iQ200, UriSed, COBIO-XS, sediMAX, iRICELL, LabUMat2/UriSed2. Now with values for Roche Cobas 6500.*

The thoughtfully redesigned packaging now includes barcodes on the labels for lot numbers and expiration dates and we’ve made it easier to identify each level.

Quantimetrix designs, develops and manufactures its products in the United States of America.

What Is Quality Control & Why Is It Important?

Diagnostic laboratories utilize quality control methods to measure the accuracy and precision of processes and equipment used for patient specimen testing. This allows laboratories to detect, reduce, and correct deficiencies in analytical processes prior to the release of test results, which ensures patients are being provided the best possible care.

The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) mandates the use of controls in clinical laboratories.

What is a third party control?

A third party quality control is designed by an independent manufacturer to assess the performance of a test or analyzer. Quantimetrix is a third party control manufacturer that designs with these principles in mind using the highest quality materials and robust manufacturing methods. Our meticulous attention to every detail results in the highest performing quality control products available.

Important attributes of effective quality controls:

• Closely mimics the patient specimen (composition, viscosity, turbidity, and color)
• Is processed in a similar manner as patient specimens
• Simple to use with few manual steps as possible
• Minimal lot-to-lot variability
• High levels of product integrity and analyte stability
