Frequently Asked Questions

What pathogens are included in your viral and bacterial panel?

 

The respiratory viral and bacterial panel includes an extensive SARS-CoV-2 portfolio for nucleic acid and antigen detection assays (including SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern; B.1.1.7, B.1.351, P.1, B.1.617, B.1.1.529). Other single-analyte and multiplex products include:

  • Influenza A, Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (low, medium, and high levels available)
  • Group A Strep (low, medium, and high levels available)
  • Adenovirus, Parainfluenza Viruses, and more.

Are these controls suitable for use by clinical diagnostics laboratory?

Yes.

 

Our IVD brand (REDx™) products are unassayed controls that can be used for ongoing QC, benchmarking laboratory testing performance, operatory training and competency, and end-to-end workflow evaluation.

 

Our Research Use Only (RUO) brand (PROCEEDx™) products are used for assay verification/validation, training, and R&D purposes.

 

Are your controls compatible with commonly used diagnostic methods, such as PCR or rapid tests?

Yes. All of our QAPs™ products are designed to be commutable (i.e., they are compatible with both molecular and immunoassay). Our products are only compatible with molecular diagnostics based on the market’s needs.

 

What is the shelf life of your respiratory viral antigen controls?

The shelf life of our Respiratory External quality control panel is 2 years from the manufacturing date. when the swabs are stored at 2-30°C and 1 year from the manufacturing date when the liquids are stored at 2-8°C
