Assay Wet Quality Controls (WQC)

Assay Wet Quality Controls consist of an optically absorbent solution and a pellet
(Figure 2-7). When used in lieu of a patient sample during a test, it verifies continued
performance. Controls are formulated at clinically relevant levels, and are individually
packaged in tubes (Level 1 and 2) and vials (Level 2). They may be used until the
expiration date printed on each kit box and on the container label when stored at the
temperature indicated on the box.
