Chemistry and Toxicology Controls for Analyzer Monitoring
Chemistry and toxicology controls verify precision and accuracy on clinical chemistry analyzers and on the platforms used for therapeutic drug monitoring and urine toxicology. This category stocks multi-analyte chemistry controls, therapeutic drug monitoring controls and drugs-of-abuse and urine toxicology controls at normal and abnormal levels, matched to named analyzer platforms. Materials are supplied at wholesale case pricing for hospital, reference and toxicology laboratories.
Chemistry and Toxicology Control Types Stocked
- Multi-analyte chemistry controls - Controls covering broad chemistry panels including electrolytes, enzymes, proteins, lipids, glucose and renal and hepatic markers in a single material.
- Therapeutic drug monitoring controls - Controls for TDM assays covering common monitored drugs at decision-relevant concentration levels.
- Drugs-of-abuse and urine toxicology controls - Positive and negative urine controls for drugs-of-abuse screening and confirmation assays.
- Specialty chemistry controls - Dedicated controls for individual chemistry analytes and specialty markers where a platform requires assay-specific QC.
- Whole-blood and matrix-matched controls - Controls formatted to match sample matrix where the assay requires it.
Widely stocked lines include Bio-Rad Liquichek and Lyphochek chemistry and toxicology control products and Randox chemistry control materials, matched to the analyzer and reagent system in use.
Chemistry and Toxicology Control Groups
| Control Group | Example Analytes | Levels | Matrix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multi-analyte chemistry | Electrolytes, enzymes, lipids, glucose | Normal and abnormal | Serum-based |
| Therapeutic drug monitoring | Common monitored drugs | Multiple decision levels | Serum-based |
| Drugs-of-abuse screening | Screening drug classes | Positive and negative | Urine-based |
| Urine toxicology confirmation | Confirmation analytes | Graded levels | Urine-based |
Concentration Levels and Decision Points
Chemistry and toxicology controls are supplied at normal and abnormal levels, with many multi-analyte lines adding a third level to cover the low, mid and high decision points of the reportable range. Toxicology controls are configured around screening cutoffs and confirmation thresholds, with positive and negative materials for drugs-of-abuse assays. Value assignment, level configuration and analyte coverage are listed per product and are lot-specific, so lots are scheduled to overlap across reagent lot transitions.
Chemistry controls are among the highest-volume QC lines in a hospital laboratory because chemistry analyzers carry the largest daily test menus, which makes case pricing and supply continuity important for materials management. Toxicology controls add lot-linked positive and negative materials for screening and confirmation work. Procurement teams schedule both as standing orders tied to reagent lot cycles. MAP Medical supplies chemistry and toxicology controls in case quantities for laboratory accounts. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What analytes do chemistry controls cover?
Multi-analyte chemistry controls cover broad chemistry panels including electrolytes, enzymes, proteins, lipids, glucose and renal and hepatic markers in a single material. Dedicated chemistry controls target individual analytes or specialty markers. The analytes included and their assigned values are listed per product on the assay sheet, matched to named analyzers and methods.
What is the difference between screening and confirmation toxicology controls?
Screening toxicology controls are configured around the cutoff concentrations used in drugs-of-abuse screening assays and are supplied as positive and negative urine materials. Confirmation controls are configured for the quantitative confirmation methods that follow a positive screen and are supplied at graded levels. Both are stocked in this category so a toxicology laboratory can monitor screening and confirmation work with matrix-matched material.
What concentration levels are chemistry controls available in?
Chemistry controls are supplied at normal and abnormal levels, and many multi-analyte lines add a third level to cover the low, mid and high decision points of the reportable range. Therapeutic drug monitoring controls are configured around clinically relevant decision levels. The level configuration is listed per product and lot.
Can hospital and toxicology labs order chemistry controls in bulk?
Yes. Chemistry and toxicology controls are stocked in case quantities for hospital laboratories, reference and independent labs, toxicology labs and licensed distributors. Standing order programs align control lots with reagent lot cycles so that high-volume chemistry QC never gaps. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What chemistry and toxicology controls should be in a laboratory formulary?
A chemistry and toxicology QC formulary typically includes a multi-analyte chemistry control at two or three levels covering the routine panel, therapeutic drug monitoring controls for the monitored drugs offered, and positive and negative urine controls for drugs-of-abuse screening plus graded confirmation controls where confirmation testing is performed. Composition follows the analyzer roster and test menu. MAP Medical builds consolidated control packages matched to platform and volume - contact our team for an assessment.
