Dawn got a reaction from Transfusion98 in QC' ing expired cell panelsBack to the original comment about the use of expired panel cells.
Here is the AABB Standard (IRL Standards 5.1.4.2):
"The criteria for the use of non-FDA-licensed reagents (including expired reagents) shall be defined."
The standard does not mention a specific QC requirement, only that there must be defined criteria for use.
Our lab discards panel cells 2 months after expiration. We do not perform QC on these cells.
