All of the reagents in the OC-Sensor™ system are ready for use. As well as saving time and offering less scope for error, the dropper bottles permit straightforward and fast dispensing of the daily QC controls and calibrators.
Long stability for efficient and economic working
- QC control (LV1, LV2, LV3) and Calibrator Kits (1 and 2) have a shelf-life of 1 year – (despite opening) providing they are stored at 2-8°C.
- Latex reagent has a shelf-life of 1 year. Re-calibration is necessary only if the batch of reagent changes.
Optimum sample stability and safe sample transport
The sample buffer in the OC-Sensor™ sample bottles ensures optimum stability and safe transport of the samples, from collection to analysis. Constructed from double-walled plastic, the OC-Sensor™ collection bottles are extremely robust and retain their shape during transit.
Haemoglobin is a very unstable target which starts to degrade as soon as it is released from the body, the OC-Sensor™ Auto-3 sample collection bottle affords unparalleled stability of haemoglobin ensuring viability even at high temperatures.
For samples that were stored in sample containers at 2 - 8oC for 28 days, a haemoglobin recovery rate of 95% ± 14.7 (2 SD) was ascertained. After 7 days storage at 25oC a recovery rate of 96% ± 20.4 (2 SD) was ascertained and at 30oC 89% ± 20.5 (2 SD).
Unique Low Control
Accurate at extremely low concentrations, the new LV3 Liquid Control ensures confidence at the clinical decision point of 10µg haemoglobin/g faeces set by NICE DG30 for symptomatic patients. NICE DG30 recommends OC-Sensor™ FIT for detection of occult blood in faeces for patients at low risk but not no-risk of having colorectal cancer.
