Ordering Question & Answers
Please review the questions below regarding ordering. If you do not see your question or need assistance, call our Customer Service Department at 1-888-406-3463 or email [email protected]
What are QualAssure solutions?
Artel has evolved our brand to better align with our values and the customers we serve, and to symbolize where we are today. But the Artel mission has remained the same – to help labs achieve their goals for quality, productivity, and compliance. One of the changes made during the transition was consolidating the array of verification solutions under the new QualAssure label. The QualAssure name describes the assurance of accurate, precise, and reproducible data that customers have come to expect from using Artel technology, products and services. The products themselves are the same proven formulations and volumes as users have come to depend on and customers do not need to change their ordering processes.
How do I know what QualAssure kits and solutions to order for my PCS?

I received my order, but I can’t find all the items listed on the packing slip. Are some items shipped separately?
All Bulk Kits are customizable for your convenience; therefore, the packing slip lists each QualAssure solution separately. The Bulk Kit box contains all QualAssure solutions, including ranges 5 and 6 which are ordered separately and listed separately on the packing slip. If you open the Bulk Kit box and do not find all the items listed on the packing slip, please call Artel at 1-888-406-3463.READ MORE +

I ran out of Blank Solution Vials but I still have bottles of QualAssure solution leftover. Can I order additional Blank Solution Vials?
All Kits are supplied with extra QualAssure solutions. The extra supply accounts for the following: - To avoid contamination of QualAssure solution Bottle
- To compensate for the transfer of QualAssure solution from the reagent bottle to the aliquot container
- For evaporation considerations
- To allow for spillage during the calibration and transfer process
- To allow you the opportunity to recalibrate pipettes and to account for increased pipette inventory.
- If you continually have either too much QualAssure solution or not enough QualAssure solution, we recommend that you contact Customer Service or your Artel Sales Representative to re-evaluate your pipette inventory by conducting a Pipette Population Analysis. This analysis determines your reagent requirements for all future orders.
