I can't seem to find out how long the Immucor Whole Blood corQC can be used after a vial is opened and used on the instrument. Can anyone tell me?

It's good until it's expiration date.

Yes, and it seems to be very stable right up to the expiration date.

You should of course remind your staff to observe the vial for hemolysis at least each time you do QC. Sometimes with weather changes and corrosion of the tips on the pipettes so that there is carry-over there can be hemolysis near the end of the period of use.

We were having some failures with QC & found it helped to change the tubes weekly.
