Together with high throughput and a rapid turnaround time, IDS has made it possible to accurately and precisely measure 25-hydroxyvitamin D in a simple assay which can be easily assimilated into routine laboratory testing. The kit is available in 100 tube format to accommodate the needs of most clinical and research laboratories. This comprehensive, flexible and powerful program performs sophisticated calculations, generates Levey-Jennings charts at the click of a button, and automatically flags control violations. It can also be adapted to meet the requirements of individual laboratory QC policy. With the built-in QC Inspector, users can select from up to 10 Westgard rules.
Laboratories can adjust the sensitivity of rules and, if required, exclude outliers statistics.
Control rule violations are automatically detected and reported. In the true tradition of the company, whose trademark is 'Science Made Simple', IDS developed the novel test kit which considerably reduces the time and effort required to measure vitamin D levels. The kit was launched onto the international market in 1994 and has since become IDS' most successful single product. The Achievement Award was presented to Paul Hailes, Finance Director and David Laurie, Head of Research and Development at IDS by Mr. Nicholas V. Scheele, chairman of Jaguar Cars Limited and of the Manufacturing, Production and Business Processes Foresight Panel, at an award ceremony held at Jaguar, Coventry, on 17 th June 1998. The future has never looked rosier.
