Preparing Control Fluid
The instructions for preparing control fluid vary depending on the type of control you are preparing.
To Prepare IDEXX VetTrol Control Fluid
1. Remove one diluent and one control vial from freezer. Allow 60–90 minutes for vials to
acclimate to room temperature.
2. Slowly invert the diluent vial several times to thoroughly mix the contents. Do not shake.
3. Gently tap the control vial on the counter several times to dislodge any material adhering to
the stopper.
4. Remove the seal and stopper from each vial just before adding the diluent to control. Do not
leave the vials open.
5. Transfer exactly 3.0 mL of diluent to the control vial, using a clean, dry, Class A volumetric
pipette or an equivalent automatic pipette. Discard the remaining diluent.
IMPORTANT: Measurement must be precise or results will be incorrect.
6. Replace the stopper on the control vial and hold it firmly in place. Gently invert the vial 6–10
times every 10 minutes for one hour (the use of a slow rocker is recommended). Do not
shake. Reconstitution, with occasional inversion, will take 45–60 minutes. Visually verify that
all freeze-dried material is dissolved before using.
7. Run quality control on the Catalyst One analyzer (see instructions below).
To Prepare UPRO Control Fluid
1. Take one vial of UPRO Control out of the refrigerator and gently invert it 6–10 times to mix
thoroughly.
2. Transfer 300 µL of UPRO Control into a Catalyst* sample cup (to be loaded in the sample
drawer).
3. Let the contents in the sample cups reach room temperature (approximately 10 minutes).
4. Run quality control on the analyzer.
