STaK-Chex® Plus Retics
STaK-Chex Plus Retics is a whole blood five-part white cell differential control that includes reticulocytes and nucleated red blood cells for use on Beckman Coulter® instruments. The control features vials with pierceable caps for autosampling and is available in low, normal and high levels.
Product Description
STaK-Chex Plus Retics is a whole blood five-part differential hematology control that monitors all parameters, including reticulocytes and nucleated red blood cells. The assay contains automated and manual reticulocyte values in three clinically significant control levels and nucleated red blood cells in one level. It is the only combined hematology control that includes all CBC parameters, reticulocytes and nucleated red blood cells, which can be analyzed in a single run. The precision and accuracy of the instrument’s laser is controlled each time STaK-Chex Plus Retics is analyzed. The control features vials with pierceable caps for autosampling. Its long shelf life reduces the number of shipments, associated costs and time spent performing lot-to-lot correlation.
