To all clinical flow labs;

The latest College of American Pathology inspections require two levels of cellular controls for CD4 and CD34 counts and also laboratory established ranges.  Since these controls tend to come in small lots and have limited stability, how do you order and store controls (i.e. large lots to maintain consistency or ?) and how do you establish ranges that are statistically valid?

Thank you,
