PCR QC & EQA
Molecular infectious disease testing requires precise and reliable controls to ensure accurate pathogen detection. Independent PCR QC and EQA materials verify assay efficiency, monitor performance, and maintain confidence in laboratory results.
Validated molecular controls that mimic patient specimens allow laboratories to monitor every step of the nucleic acid testing (NAT) workflow, including extraction, amplification, and detection. Reliable PCR QC and EQA solutions support consistent results, early deviation detection, and continuous quality improvement.
Our PCR QC and EQA portfolio offers a wide selection of external controls, including complete inactivated microorganisms and purified genomes, designed to support laboratories across a range of molecular infectious disease assays.
