Quality Control Specimens
Always mix and handle commercial control material according to the directions
given in the package insert. Pay particular attention to the following:
• Store the CELL-DYN Retic-RITE™ controls in the refrigerator at 2°– 8° C.
Store in a suitable location in the refrigerator, away from the door if it is
opened frequently.
• Carefully warm the CELL-DYN Retic-RITE™ controls prior to mixing,
according to the directions given in the package insert. Proper mixing is
essential for accurate results.
• Mix the CELL-DYN Retic-RITE™ control vials gently by hand to
thoroughly resuspend the control material. Do not use automatic mixers to
resuspend the control material.
• Check the open-vial stability dating given on the package insert and do not
use the products longer than is recommended or results may be
compromised.
