How to use IDEXX QC kits?
Step 1
Remove only the necessary vial(s) from freezer. Equilibrate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Open vial and aseptically transfer the pellet to an appropriately labeled vessel containing 100 mL of room temperature sterile water.
Step 3
Swirl the sample and allow to stand for up to 5 minutes. The pellet should completely dissolve. After it is dissolved, mix by inverting the vessel 10 times.
Step 4
Refer to the acceptance range for each organism on the Certificate of Analysis. The IDEXX-QC kit lot can be found on the box label.
