Is there any additional equipment needed to run a test?
ANSWER:
Yes, a timer.
It only takes 15 minutes for a result, so a timer is needed. A standard sterile container is needed, for when the test is complete
How often do you run the controls? How does this fit into our lab policy?
ANSWER:
A positive and a negative control does not need to be performed every time the kit is used.
We recommend each control is tested once when the kit is opened.
Additional control tests may be run if required by QA policy.
Which do you put in first, the positive or negative control?
ANSWER:
It does not matter which control tube is tested first. Prepare the samples and controls in their individual tubes according to the method, and then add one test strip to each tube. Wait 15 minutes and the test result should be read within 5 minutes after that.
500 µl of each control is provided and each test requires 120 µl .
