PTS Panel Test Strips & Controls for CardioChek Analyzers

PTS Panel test strips turn a CardioChek PA analyzer into a point-of-care lab, delivering cholesterol and lipid results in minutes from a single fingerstick sample. This collection covers the reagent strips, lipid panels, and quality-control sets that clinicians, pharmacists, and wellness screeners rely on for fast, CLIA-waived chemistry testing outside the traditional lab.

For lipid work, the PTS Panels Lipid Panel Test Strip (1710) and reagent strip (1711) measure total cholesterol, HDL, triglycerides, and calculated LDL — the full panel most screening programs need. If you're running broader cardiac or general chemistry tests, the PTS Diagnostics Panel Reagent Test Strips (1821), packaged 25 strips per vial, are calibrated specifically for the CardioChek PA. All are CLIA-waived, which matters if your site operates under a Certificate of Waiver and needs tests approved for that setting.

Accurate results depend on running controls, and this collection includes them so you're not sourcing separately. The PTS Panels Control Sets (722) ship as Level 1 and Level 2 liquid controls in dropper bottles for routine verification, while the Multi-Chemistry Control Sets (721) provide two levels in vial form for confirming analyzer performance across chemistries. Running both levels on a new strip lot or after maintenance keeps your CardioChek within spec and your documentation audit-ready.

A few things buyers check before ordering: confirm the strip catalog number matches your analyzer model and the specific analyte you're testing, watch lot-specific calibration codes, and store strips and controls per the temperature guidance on the packaging to protect reagent integrity. Ordering strips and matching controls together saves a return trip when it's time to verify.
