Quality Control
ELI has extensive experience in the preparation and certification of quality control specimens both for blind quality control use and as laboratory controls. Quality control specimens and certification services have been provided to major industries, public utilities including nuclear facilities, drug testing laboratories, and state and federal agencies, for approximately twenty years. Certified pure drug standards are maintained for the preparation of quality control specimens, and a human urine matrix formulation has been developed which remains stable over a wide range of storage conditions.
Blind Quality Controls
ELI prepares and ships blind quality control specimens to clients engaged in drug testing. All orders are custom filled, and no minimum or maximum order is required.
Blinds can be shipped in ELI’s bottles (approximately 60-70 mL volume) or, if provided by client, blinds can be prepared in primary lab kits so that no re-pouring is required once the specimens are received by the client. Specimens mandated by DHHS guidelines (Federal Register, Vol. 69, No. 71, April 13, 2004) and five additional drug classes are available as listed below:
Marijuana metabolites Cocaine metabolites Amphetamines Opiate metabolites Phencyclidine Barbiturates Benzodiazepines Methadone Methaqualone Propoxyphene From time to time, specimens are prepared with two-drug combinations at the request of a client (e.g., THC/PCP; COC/AMP; COC/MOR, etc.).
Positive blind controls $45.00/sample, Negative blind controls $20.00/sample. Specimen Validity Testing (SVT) blind controls $20.00/sample Client’s overnight courier account number is used for shipping with no reverse billing for shipping charges
Lab Controls
Drug testing laboratories have their own preferences as to which drugs and/or metabolites to combine at specific levels in quality control samples. Since it is difficult to have available pre-determined shelf material to meet the requirements of all laboratories, ELI specializes in the preparation of custom-made products to meet laboratories’ specific needs. These products are provided as liquid materials with refrigeration as the only required storage condition for a shelf life stability of at least one year, with the exception of oxazepam which has a shelf life stability of nine months. ELI continues to test all QC products, and the expiration dates are extended accordingly for active batches.
These products are prepared at $1.20/mL with a minimum order of 2 liters. Laboratories interested in large volumes of controls (≥ 20 liters or multiple drugs) should contact us for a quotation.
THC-hydrolysis control is offered by ELI at the same price.
Shipping costs are added to the invoice. Alternatively, materials are shipped using the client’s overnight courier account number with no reverse billing for shipping.
Meconium Controls
Blank - $50/g (minimum 2 g)
With Drug Metabolite(s) - $100/g (minimum 2 g)
