Sweet sugar control. (Product watch).

Sugar-Chex II, the aqueous glucose control formula for glucose meters, is designed to simulate the viscosity and flow properties of whole blood without red blood cells. Handling and disposal concerns associated with whole blood glucose controls are eliminated. The control is assayed for Lifescan FastTake, OneTouch II, and SureStep Pro; Medisense Precision G and Precision Pcx; and Roche Accu-Chek Advantage. With one control, all meters in the laboratory can be verified. The control is available at three levels to test the daily quality of glucose meters, therefore offers labs a quick and easy method to verify calibration of the glucose meter. The control has a 24 month closed-vial stability and 90 day open-vial stability when stored at room temperature.
