MES announces global release of two new semen analysis products

Medical Electronic Systems (MES) today announced the worldwide release of two new products to supplement its full line of Automated and Manual semen analysis solutions. These products include QwikCheck™ Pre-Stained Morphology slides designed to work with manual and automated systems, and a Linearity and Precision kit designed for semi-annual validation of SQA-V Gold and SQA-VISION Sperm Quality Analyzers. Both products are available now and be ordered directly through Medical Electronic Systems.

The QwikCheck™ Pre-Stained Morphology slides are designed for the rapid staining of permatozoa for detailed morphology assessment. Each slide is coated with a dried layer of staining media which sperm will absorb on contact. The product is designed for SQA-VISION Automated Sperm Quality Analyzers and Microscopic analysis. They can be used to differentiate Normal sperm cells from sperm cells with Abnormal heads, midpieces, principle pieces, and excess residual cytoplasm. They can also be used for the classification of WBCs and pinheads.

The QwikCheck™ Beads Precision and Linearity Kit is designed as a semi-annual validation tool for SQA-V and SQA-VISION sperm quality analyzers. It can be used to validate Linearity, Precision and Concentration Accuracy per the CLIA Method Validation Regulations (CLIA Final Rules Manual, 2004, ISBN 1-886958-20-3). The regulations disseminated on February 28, 1992 for laboratories to comply with the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA '88) included specific quality control (QC) and Validation regulations for laboratories performing moderate and high complexity testing.
