Tampa General Hospital’s journey to sepsis QC excellence
Watch now
Join Dr. Luciano Soares, Clinical Scientist at Tampa General Hospital, as he shares how his lab seamlessly transitioned to MDx-Chex from their previous quality control (QC) method, and learn about the practical insights and lessons he gained along the way. Streck's innovative MDx-Chex® controls were meticulously designed to verify every step of the BIOFIRE® BCID2 and Luminex VERIGENE® BC-GP and BC-GN sepsis tests, ensuring comprehensive coverage of every detectable target. Dr. Soares will highlight how these features have greatly improved his lab's accuracy and reliability.
Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your lab's diagnostic capabilities.
Key learning objectives:
- Understand the key differences between an external quality control (EQC) and an internal quality control (IQC)
- Learn about the ideal composition of an EQC with regards to micro recommendations (IQCP)
- Discover how an EQC with the recommended composition of intact microorganisms in a patient sample-like matrix can detect issues with assay reagents that nucleic acid-based QC cannot

MDx-Chex® for BCID2
StreckMDx-Chex for BCID2 is a first-of-its-kind quality control designed to evaluate the entire analytical process of the BIOFIRE ® Blood Culture Identification 2 (BCID2) Panel for sepsis. With MDx-Chex for BCID2, you can track lot-to-lot performance of the BCID2 assay and reduce the occurrence of incorrect results due to instrument or assay failures.
MDx-Chex® for BC-GP and MDx-Chex® BC-GN
StreckMDx-Chex for BC-GP and MDx-Chex for BC-GN are controls designed to evaluate the entire analytical process of the Luminex VERIGENE ® BC-GP and BC-GN Panels for sepsis. With MDx-Chex for BC-GP and MDx-Chex for BC-GN, you can track lot-to-lot performance of the BC-GP and BC-GN assays and reduce the occurrence of incorrect results due to instrument or assay failures.
