Bio-Rad Laboratories announces that an efficacy study of its Liquichek Serum Indices product has been published by the Clinica Chimica Acta, a peer-reviewed medical journal covering research in clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine. Liquichek Serum Indices is an unassayed product designed to monitor an instrument’s response in detecting hemolysis, icterus, and lipemia, or HIL interferences. The study concluded that the serum indices product can serve to effectively monitor specimen integrity checks in a manner that is congruous with existing QC programs. Utilizing the automated HIL detection feature on an instrument combined with Liquichek Serum Indices may help reduce errors by eliminating the need for manual inspection by a laboratory technician.
