Proficiency Survey Preparation Kit

Lipid Reference Control & Calibrator (LRCC) materials consist of frozen aliquots of pooled human serum with selected analysis of target values for total cholesterol (TCh), HDL-Cholesterol (HDL), and Triglycerides (TG). These values are summarized in the chart below for the lot numbers indicated. All values have been established at the North West Lipid Reference Laboratory (NWLRL) Located in Seattle, Washington.

The NWLRL is an established reference laboratory through the Cholesterol Reference Method Laboratory Network (CRMLN). It certifies manufacturers of clinical diagnostic products that measure total cholesterol, HDL-C, and LDL-C. The CRMLN laboratories use reference methods or designated comparison methods that are rigorously standardized to the CDC reference methods. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recognized the value of the CRMLN’s certification program. And it encourages manufacturers to certify their products through the CRMLN. The Division of Laboratory Sciences (DLS) maintains lists of the clinical diagnostic products that have been certified by the CRMLN.

Assessment of accuracy, using lyophilized or other processed materials for the quantification of total or lipoprotein-associated cholesterol, presents technical difficulties that are related to the matrix changes accompanying these manipulations. However, frozen plasma and serum pools are successfully utilized for the external and internal quality control by the Lipid Reference Control program. Additionally, these materials are also used by other major studies. And they are considered to be extremely reliable materials that are utilized for quality control or calibration measures.

Three levels of Lipid Reference Control materials are provided. Levels contain 1.3 mL of human serum per vial. The samples can be used immediately or stored frozen at -70°C until used.
