INTRODUCTION

Randox Laboratories Ltd. has over 20 years experience in the development, manufacture and marketing of high quality diagnostic reagents and equipment for laboratory medicine. Randox supply circa 35,000 laboratories in over 130 countries worldwide. All Randox reagents are manufactured under rigorous quality procedures to achieve the high quality standards expected in clinical science. A significant proportion of resources are invested in research and development to ensure kits are developed to the highest specifications and conform to international standards. Commitment to quality is emphasised by ISO13485 accreditation for the development and manufacture of diagnostic test kits. Randoxs clinical products can be found in almost every country. The Randox portfolio includes Biochip Array Technology, clinical chemistry automation systems, external quality assurance schemes, Internet driven QA systems, quality control materials, clinical reagents and environmental diagnostics.

Quality Control Sera

Randox manufacture a broad range of human and bovine-based quality control material. The Randox product range of control products includes clinical chemistry multi sera, tumour markers, cardiac, CSF, urine controls, lipid controls, specific protein controls, therapeutic drug and a range of mono controls. All control products come in easy to use, colour-coded packaging to help distinguish different analyte levels and minimise costly errors. Bottles, caps and packaging are all colour-coded to aid stocking and usage of the products in the laboratory. Randox assayed and precision sera are available in human and bovine (only available in clinical chemistry controls) form. Method-, temperature and instrument specific target values and ranges are available for all assayed sera. Randox precision serum is supported with guideline values from a consensus mean of results from independent laboratories for the most regular methods.

RIQAS
RIQAS, the external quality assessment scheme from Randox Laboratories is the worlds first clinical EQA scheme to gain
UKAS accreditation. The programme results and reports can be transmitted through postal, fax or e-transfer services.

RIQAS has been providing "Proficiency Testing Schemes" for laboratories worldwide for over 12 years. Today, RIQAS offers 8 programmes with 160 analytes to circa 5000 participants in 59 countries. The 8 programmes currently available include general clinical chemistry, specific proteins, therapeutic drugs, human urine, lipids, immunoassay, cardiac and haematology.

a
Randox have introduced a new internet-driven software package. The Peer Group reporting software utilises values from laboratories worldwide and allows access to reports showing your analytical performance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Designed to complement the Randox product range of control sera, a facilitates the monitoring of analytical performance (internal quality control) and enables direct comparisons with laboratories worldwide (peer group reporting).

SELECTING A CONTROL PRODUCT

Technology improvements in clinical pathology have revolutionised laboratory analysis by facilitating a massive throughput of samples and the adaptation of the most up-to-date methodologies. Standardisation and calibration of modern instruments play a pivotal role in the generation of quality information for accurate clinical decision making. These developments have created a demand for a broad range of quality control products to cover the ever-increasing list of tests carried out in clinical laboratories.

CONTROL MATRIX
Randox manufacture both human and bovine based control products for use in all laboratories. Lyophilised controls are stable for up to 4 years after the date of manufacture.

Bovine-based sera is prepared from certified disease-free animal source material and offers high
performance for up to 44 clinical chemistry analytes when cost considerations are paramount.

Human-based sera is donor tested at source and found to be non-reactive for Hepatitis B and C antigen and HIV I and II antibodies. Human-based sera offers a matrix consistent with human patient samples and offers high performance for up to 70 analytes. It is generally preferred for immunological methods including serum proteins and hormones.
All Randox control products are manufactured to the same high specifications using procedures recognised by ISO 13485.

HUMAN ASSAYED AND PRECISION SERA

Assayed sera are used for the control of accuracy of results. Each parameter has an assigned mean +/2SD range generated from 3000 independent laboratories world-wide and approximately 98,000 results. Method, temperature and instrument-specific values are provided for up to 70 parameters in the clinical chemistry multisera. A unique feature of Randox assayed serum is the use of reference method values for up to 12 parameters for generation of the target value. Reference methods are generally considered most accurate for the determination of a specific analyte and are traceable to international standards, enabling inter-laboratory standardisation.

Unassayed serum is generally referred to as precision serum and is used only for the control of reproducibility of results. Approximate values are assigned from a consensus mean of results from independent laboratories for the most common method.

URINE CONTROLS
Values for assayed urine controls are assigned from a consensus of results from approximately 600 independent laboratories. Approximate values for unassayed urine controls are generated by results from selected reference laboratories and assigned from 3 consensus of results obtained by these laboratories.

COLOUR-CODED CONTROLS
Easy to use, colour-coded packaging will help distinguish between different levels and minimise costly errors. Colour-coded bottles, caps and boxes will also aid stock management and usage of the products in the laboratory. Colour-coded controls were introduced in 2003 however existing stocks will be in circulation until 2007.

TEXT ON TUTORIAL
Randox has recently developed an educational tutorial to assist all new users of the 247 software. Our free interactive 247 tutorial contains explicit instructions, for example, on how to set up the data panels, enter results, run reports and upload results via the Internet. The tutorial contains an online help manual to ensure that the client always has access to a solution on any problem or query they may have. Each user of the tutorial will have a unique username and password; a laboratory manager can then view the progress of each member of staff as frequently as they wish. At the end of each section in the tutorial there is a self-assessment exercise that allows all users to test their knowledge and understanding of the 247 software programme. This multi-lingual tutorial will be provided on each individual 247 software disc.

RIQAS Programmes
RIQAS has been providing "Proficiency Testing Schemes" for laboratories worldwide for over 12 years. Today, RIQAS offers 8 programmes with 160 analytes to circa 4500 participants in 60 countries around the world. RIQAS is a dynamic, user-led scheme, which recognises that laboratory requirements vary significantly and therefore offers a flexible programme choice. With a combined total of 60 years EQA experience, the RIQAS team are in an excellent position to offer quality EQA solutions. RIQAS is continuously developing new programmes and innovative software for EQA.

e-transfer
At present, the user-friendly, charted reports allow interpretation of performance at a glance. To advance this service, software trials are in progress for the electronic transfer of results and reports. This will reduce the turn around time and cut down significantly on the amount of paperwork. It will also make it much easier to implement method changes.

UKAS Accreditation
RIQAS, the external quality assessment scheme from Randox Laboratories is the worlds first clinical EQA scheme to gain UKAS accreditation. The United Kingdom Accreditation Service is the sole national accreditation body recognised by government to assess, against internationally agreed standards, organisations that provide certification, testing, inspection and calibration services*. The RIQAS EQA scheme has been recognised by the UK accreditation body UKAS for providing a first class inter laboratory comparison assessment service.
