A message from Tom Happe
Founder of Maine Standards Company
Our goal at Maine Standards Company is to develop and manufacture products of the highest quality in order to best serve the growing needs of clinical laboratories. We specialize in calibration verification / linearity, reportable range validation and new instrument performance validation, which are essential parts of the Quality System and Quality Assurance program at every accredited human diagnostic laboratory in the United States.
We are committed to producing quality products that help you meet high standards of regulatory compliance. Our VALIDATE® calibration verification / linearity products help ensure that laboratories report results with confidence throughout the full reportable range of their testing systems.
By manufacturing calibration verification / linearity test sets that are instrument system–specific, we virtually eliminate the need for any manual dilutions. This reduces labor costs and minimizes the potential for pipetting errors. We package our products for two calibration verification events plus additional trouble–shooting use per kit. Ordering and shipping are done on your schedule, backed by our 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.
This is an exciting time for Maine Standards Company. Nearly seventy (70) serum chemistry, therapeutic drug and immunochemistry (cardiac, thyroid, specific proteins) VALIDATE® products plus fifteen (15) urine chemistries and osmolality sets make up our current product line. With our patented LP products for total cholesterol and lipoprotein testing, you enjoy state-of-the-art technology supporting your choice for calibration verification / linearity products. Current research and development efforts will bring additional analyte sets with the same quality and robustness you expect from Maine Standards Company. Our ongoing collaborations with major instrument manufacturers allow us to enhance product performance and meet the needs of today’s clinical laboratory as methodologies adapt and develop.
Get your results faster. Instant graphing of your calibration verification / linearity reports is available with our MSDRx® data reduction software on your own computer. If you want peer comparison reports, you can submit data using either the e–mail function of the software or our popular in–house Data Reduction Services by submitting your data via fax, hard–copy or online submission form. In any case, your VALIDATE® calibration verification / linearity reports are in your hands when you need them, always within five (5) business days of submission.
Whether used for routine calibration verification / linearity studies or for periodic trouble–shooting of specific methods, VALIDATE® system-specific products make your job easier.
