ZeptoMetrix Neisseria meningitidis Z526; Serogroup D, titered

Description

Infectious, titered microorganisms can be utilized for analytical testing during assay development, including limit of detection (LOD) and cross-reactivity studies. When used as a control for nucleic acid tests, the same protocols as those used to extract and amplify clinical specimens should be employed.

Each frozen aliquot contains 1 mL of a pure, titered culture of Neisseria meningitidis. The identification of this organism was confirmed by 16S sequencing. The purity of the culture was monitored by Gram staining and by additional culturing. The titer was performed on a minimum of two aliquots after freezing. The freezing medium contains 15% glycerol as a cryoprotectant. Please see the Certificate of Analysis for the specific freezing medium used.

INTENDED USE:

Live, titered microorganisms can be used to determine a limit of detection (LOD), in diagnostic assay development or crossreactivity studies. When used as a control for nucleic acid tests, the same protocols as those used to amplify clinical specimens should be employed.
