ACT-Trol™ Activated Clotting Time Controls

ACT-Trols™ are whole blood based, activated clotting time controls made entirely of animal biological components but engineered to perform like fresh human samples (patent pending). Since ACT-Trols™ have a stable whole blood matrix, they are more accurate, precise and reliable than plasma based controls for ACT instruments such as the Hemochron†, HemoTec†, or Quest† (ACTester†), ACT instruments. Each set is designed with the appropriate components for point-of-care use (HemoTec users can buy calcium chloride in dropper bottles if they use it). The instructions are simple; the stability of the control allows the user to place packages of controls by the instrument at room temperature for up to 1 week. The control is stable for up to 8 hours when reconstituted, so one vial of control can be used for more than one instrument, channel or at different times of day. One lot can be reserved for an entire year’s use, cutting down on inconsistency and the expensive and time consuming process of setting ranges. In-Sure™, a quality assurance program, & In-Service™, a technical training program, are available free when a customer commits to the purchase a year’s supply of ACT-Trol™ sets.

ACS SPAT™ Platelet Positive or Negative Controls

The ACS, Inc.’s Platelet Positive & Platelet Negative Aggregation Controls (for research use only) are for use in the Slide Platelet Aggregation Test to assure that the reagent is capable of initiating aggregation. These human matrix controls are designed to be reconstituted and run like a patient sample. Aggregation should be visible before three minutes for the Positive Control and no aggregation should be visible well after three minutes for the Negative Control. The controls are stable for two years from manufacture and for five days when reconstituted. A free technical assistance plan, In-Service™, is available with the purchase of a year’s supply of SPAT™ Aggregation Controls.
