COVID-19

Multichem ID-COVID19 controls are the essential independent quality controls designed to test the precision of assays for Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, to allow clinical laboratories to release patient results with confidence.

Cardiac

Our core cardiac assessment product is the Multichem hsTn QC for high sensitive troponin assays (includes Troponin I and T). This product provides a high level of stability and confidence in your testing at the low concentrations that are relevant for today's cardiac assessment strategies. This product can be used as a stand-alone product or in conjunction with our consolidated immunoassay products; Multichem IA Plus or Multichem IA, that include a wide range of cardiac markers.

Clinical Chemistry

Our flagship chemistry product is Multichem S Plus (S for Serum). Multichem S Plus consolidated over 100 analytes in to a single product. We also offer Multichem S, which omits Rheumatoid Factor and C-Reactive Protein from the consolidated list of analytes. In addition to the two main consolidated products we offer Multichem NB; QC for pediatric testing of Bilirubin levels, Multichem AE; QC for ammonia and ethanol and Multichem CSF, QC for cerebral spinal fluid testing.

Coagulation

Multichem D-Dimer provides QC material to assess the precision of assays involved in patient testing that informs the diagnosis of thrombotic events.

Diabetes

Our leading diabetes product is Multichem A1c, third party QC for haemoglobin A1c. The haemoglobin A1c test, also called HbA1c or glycosylated haemoglobin, is an important blood test that shows how well a patient’s diabetes is being controlled.

Fertility

Ovarian reserve testing has increased in popularity over the past few years as a screening test used in conjunction with fertility testing. Multichem AMH provides third party QC for Anti-Mullerian Hormone testing. In addition, our consolidated immunoassay controls also offer a board number of fertility analytes - see the Multichem IA Plus page for more information.

Immunoassay

Our flagship immunoassay product is Multichem IA Plus. Multichem IA Plus consolidated over 90 analytes in to a single product and can replace up to four competitor products in your lab. We also offer Multichem IA, which omits CA 19-9, CA 15-3 and CA 125 from the consolidated list of analytes. In addition to the two consolidated controls, we offer Multichem IA Speciality, providing extended open vial stability for peptide hormones, in addition to tri-level utility for BNP, PTH, ACTH, PCT and CT.

Immunology

Multichem P (P for protein) is specifically designed as a supplementary QC product for immunoproteins to be used in conjunction with our clinical chemistry QC. This product offers elevated concentrations for immunoprotein. Users can use this in conjunction with 1, 2 or 3 levels of Multichem S Plus or Multichem S, each of which already include multiple concentrations for immunoproteins.

Immunosupressant Drugs

Multichem WBT (WBT for Whole Blood Transplant), provides tri-level QC to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures for Cyclosporine, Tacrolimus and Sirolimus assays.

Urine Chemistry

Our leading urine chemistry control is Multichem U. This product provides a single product to cover the majority of standard urine chemistry assays, including Microalbumin, which some competitors provide a separate QC product for.

Infectious Disease

Technopath’s Multichem ID range (ID for Infectious Disease) have been specifically optimised and validated to match assays commonly used for infectious diseases testing. The first two products brought to market include Multichem ID-B , a positive multi-marker QC, and Multichem ID-SeroNeg, a negative QC.
