STaK-Chex Plus Retics is a whole blood five-part differential hematology control that monitors all parameters including reticulocytes and nucleated red blood cells. This control contains automated and manual reticulocyte values in three clinically significant levels (low, normal and high) and nucleated red blood cells in one level, allowing for the precision and accuracy of the instrument’s laser to be evaluated each time STaK-Chex Plus Retics is used.
STaK-Chex Plus Retics features vials with pierceable caps for autosampling and has a long shelf life which reduces the number of shipments, associated costs and time spent performing lot-to-lot correlation. Each label is barcoded to assist with quality control data collection, eliminating the possibility of transcription errors.
STaK-Chex Plus Retics is compatible with the Beckman Coulter® UniCel® DxH® 600/800/900/690T hematology analyzers.
Includes all CBC parameters, reticulocytes and nucleated RBCs
Available in three clinically significant levels
Plastic vials with pierceable caps for analyzer autosampling
Assay values are available for download
14-day open-vial stability; 105-day closed-vial stability
Barcodes on vial labels and assay
Established assay ranges provide less room for error
Long shelf life reduces the number of shipments and associated costs

STaK-Chex Plus Retics is a comprehensive whole blood five-part white cell differential control with reticulocytes and nucleated red blood cells for use on Beckman Coulter instruments. This control monitors all CBC parameters including reticulocytes and nucleated RBCs, allowing the precision and accuracy of the instrument’s laser to be evaluated with each use.
STaK-Chex Plus Retics includes all CBC parameters (RBC, WBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets), five-part differential (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils), automated and manual reticulocyte values in three clinically significant levels and nucleated red blood cells in one level. This comprehensive coverage makes it one of the most complete hematology controls available.
Nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) are immature RBCs that normally are not present in peripheral blood but can appear in certain conditions such as severe anemia, bone marrow disorders or hypoxia. Their presence can interfere with automated WBC counts if not properly identified and corrected. STaK-Chex Plus Retics includes NRBCs to verify that the analyzer can accurately detect and account for these cells.
STaK-Chex Plus Retics is available in three clinically significant levels: low, normal and high for most parameters including reticulocytes. Nucleated red blood cells are provided in one level. This multi-level format allows laboratories to verify instrument performance across the clinically relevant range.
STaK-Chex Plus Retics offers 14-day open-vial stability and 105-day closed-vial stability. This extended shelf life reduces the number of shipments and associated costs while minimizing time spent performing lot-to-lot correlations.
STaK-Chex Plus Retics includes unique barcodes specific to the type of run and level of control on both vial labels and assay sheets. These barcodes allow for automated parameter onboarding, eliminating manual data entry and reducing the potential for transcription errors. Assay values are also available for download, further streamlining quality control data management.
STaK-Chex Plus Retics consolidates multiple quality control needs into a single comprehensive control, reducing the number of products laboratories need to purchase, store and manage. This simplifies quality control procedures, saves time on running multiple controls and provides consistent monitoring of all hematology parameters including advanced features like reticulocytes and nucleated RBCs using one product line.
