Assess Performance, Improve Accuracy
QC1™ Gram Quality Control Slides allow your lab to objectively assess the performance of equipment, reagents, methods and techniques, while eliminating the need to maintain in-house cultures of control organisms. Slides are available in standard format (with only positive and negative controls) or with either one or three wells for patient specimens — making them ideal for the second and third shifts for supervisor review. Each slide is individually packaged in a sealed foil pouch, preserving the positive control Staphylococcus aureus, and negative control Escherichia coli, until you are ready to use them — then simply open and stain.
