Flow Cytometry Controls

Comprehensive line of positive procedural controls
and cellular stabilization products for immunophenotyping by flow cytometry.

The range of Streck CD-Chex® Flow Cytometry controls provides positive procedural controls manufactured from normal human peripheral blood leukocytes and erythrocytes.

CD-Chex® Plus controls for immunophenotyping by flow cytometry closely resemble patient samples with the inclusion of both red and white cells stabilised in a way which preserves the antigen sites. CD-Chex® also offers a complete process control when
evaluating CD-34.

The unique quality controls provide assay values for both normal and abnormal leukocyte populations and reference values for both intracellular and surface markers.

Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometry is a technique used to analyse cell size, complexity, phenotype and function in clinical and research laboratories. Reliable quality controls are essential to ensure accurate, reproducible and compliant results.

Flow cytometry controls help laboratories:

  • Verify instrument performance

  • Standardise assay set-up

  • Ensure reproducible results

  • Meet regulatory and accreditation requirements

  • Detect analytical issues early

Streck CD-Chex Quality Controls

The Trusted Standard for Flow Cytometry QC

Streck offers a comprehensive line of positive procedural controls supports immunophenotyping, lymphocyte subset analysis and stem cell enumeration by flow cytometry. Designed to closely mimic patient samples, CD-Chex controls provide laboratories with confidence in daily testing and long-term assay performance.

  • Extended Stability
    Up to 30-day open-vial and 90-day closed-vial stability helps reduce waste and simplify QC scheduling.

  • Independent Quality Assurance
    Assayed third-party controls provide unbiased monitoring of assay and instrument performance to support ISO 15189 compliance.

  • Ready-to-Use Whole Blood Controls
    No reconstitution required. Whole blood matrices closely mimic patient samples for realistic QC monitoring.

  • Confidence in Every Result
    Established assay ranges, lot-to-lot consistency and long-term trending support reliable decision-making. Access the STATS® peer comparison programme.

  • Broad Clinical Coverage
    Supports TBNK subsets, CD4/CD8 monitoring, HIV testing, immunophenotyping, CD34+ enumeration and rare marker verification.  

  • Compatibility
