You Have Received Your Sample! Now What?
As part of our custom product manufacturing process, UTAK offers matrix testing to support Baseline Testing (MTX-BASELINE) prior to spiking analytes or beginning final packaging. This sample you received is a 10mL frozen sample of the starting matrix. Below you will find our recommended steps for testing the sample and completing the Baseline Testing (MTX-BASELINE) form.
Testing Procedure
- Allow the frozen matrix sample to thaw at room temperature with the cap on.
- Swirl gently for 3–4 minutes to ensure a homogeneous mixture.
- Swirl gently each time an aliquot is removed to maintain consistency.
- Test the matrix sample in the same manner as patient specimens, following the full instructions of your standard test method.
- Minimize the time the matrix sample remains at room temperature during handling to help preserve its integrity.
Approval Form Completion
- Indicate Accept or Reject based on whether the matrix meets your specifications.
- Record the recovered analyte values and indicate Accept or Reject accordingly.
- Sign and date the completed form and email it to approvals@utak.com.
