Qnostics
Respiratory Target Multiplex (RTX) 1 Control
This multiplex control has been designed in response to the current Coronavirus pandemic. The control can be used to support the validation, verification and performance monitoring of molecular assays used in SARS-CoV-2 testing and other respiratory pathogens.
Meeting the requirements of various testing strategies, this 4-plex control covers multiple viral pathogens that cause respiratory diseases in various patient cohorts, in line with public health testing and the test menu of most syndromic assays.
Having a multiplex control, like the Qnostics RTX1, gives great flexibility to laboratories and allows them to meet laboratory requirements in terms of respiratory pathogens covered whilst keeping QC tests to a minimum.
Features & Benefits
- Whole Pathogen Control
Containing the entire SARS-CoV-2 genome, the RTX1 Control is compatible with the majority of commercial and in-house assays. As a whole pathogen control, it targets the whole viral genome.
- Full Process Control
Whole pathogen controls are ideal for full-process validation, monitoring the testing process from extraction to amplification and detection ensuring ultimate quality assurance in laboratories.
- Highly Characterised
Using highly characterised controls enable labs to meet their daily QC needs and accreditation requirements. Qnostic controls are quantified by digital PCR to ensure batch-to-batch reproducibility.
- True Third Party
An independent, unbiased assessment of assay performance is ensured in line with ISO 15189:2012 regulatory requirements.
- Liquid for Ease-of-Use
Conveniently supplied in liquid frozen format meaning there is no additional preparation or handling required.
