CORE Convenience Kit (Control of Range Evaluation Kit)

Verify your normal range. The CORE Kit is a convenience kit containing fresh frozen citrated human plasma from thirty or fifty pre-screened normal donors. An equal number of male and female donors are represented. Donors are non-smoking, and collected from multiple geographic regions across the United States. The kit is intended for use in validating reference ranges for coagulation assays.  A data sheet accompanies each kit. All plasmas are tested and found non-reactive for HIV, HCV, and HBsAg.

Uses for the CORE Kit:

• Verify Normal Range for PT and aPTT for a new lot of reagent
• Verify Normal Range for PT and aPTT new instrument
• Verify Normal Range for other coagulation and thrombosis assays
• Correlate Normal Ranges between multiple instruments in the same location
• Correlate Normal Ranges between multiple instruments in multiple locations
• Correlate Normal Range on new instrument with current instrument
• Correlate Normal Range using new reagent with current reagent

Primary advantages of the CORE Kit:

• Convenience – Plasmas collected, tested and pre-packaged
• COST SAVINGS
• Ready to use — No reconstitution
• No buffers or preservatives
• Identical lots available

Important Note:

Using the CORE Kit in conjunction with the Systems CORrelation 40 Control Kit (SysCOR 40) provides laboratories with an extensive set of normal and abnormal plasmas to perform complete lot conversions in one laboratory or between a number of laboratories.
