Para 12® Extend

Para 12 Extend is a whole blood hematology control that features three distinct populations of lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes and provides assay values for the three-part white blood cell differential. This control offers low, normal and high cell percentages to test the accuracy and precision of the reported white cell populations.

Para 12 Extend is available in 2.5 mL or 4.5 mL 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.

Para 12 Extend is compatible with Beckman Coulter®, ERMA, Horiba® Medical, HTI® Diagnostics, Mindray®, Nihon Kohden® and Siemens® three-part hematology analyzers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Para 12 Extend is a three-part differential hematology control assayed for Beckman Coulter, ERMA, Horiba Medical, HTI Diagnostics, Mindray, Nihon Kohden and Siemens 3-part hematology analyzers. This whole blood control features three distinct populations of lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes and provides assay values for the three-part white blood cell differential.

Para 12 Extend is available in three clinically significant levels: low, normal and high. These levels offer different cell percentages to test the accuracy and precision of the reported white cell populations across the range encountered in clinical practice.

Para 12 Extend offers 30-day open-vial stability and 190-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.

Para 12 Extend is available in 2.5 mL or 4.5 mL plastic vials with pierceable caps for analyzer autosampling. This convenient packaging allows the control to be loaded directly onto hematology analyzers without manual transfer, reducing the potential for contamination and improving workflow efficiency.

A three-part differential separates white blood cells into three populations: lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes. This level of differentiation is appropriate for screening applications and is provided by many automated hematology analyzers. Para 12 Extend verifies that the analyzer can accurately identify and quantify these three distinct cell populations, ensuring reliable screening results.

Para 12 Extend provides established assay ranges that reduce room for error and help laboratories meet regulatory requirements for hematology quality control. Users also have access to STATS, Streck’s free interlaboratory quality control program for peer group data comparison, supporting compliance with accreditation standards.
